Intrepids are fine if you can find one without the 2.7, and can afford to not work on the car yourself. My girlfriend has a 2.7 Intrepid, and frequent oil changes with Mobil 1 are a must (this engine is notorious for a sludge issue that Chrysler won't acknowledge), and even minor mechanical issues are a nightmare to work on due to the complete lack of underhood space.
The bigger engines offer a 1-2mpg hit, but are vastly less troublesome, allegedly.
Actually, no, don't get an Intrepid. The seats are absolute murder on my back, and I'm only 27. That's reason enough to not want one.
I second the recommendation of the Avalon. Not real cheap used, but it's basically a big Camry, so you're pretty much in the clear with that.
