Hey everyone! Been looking at a couple SS Monte Carlos lately. The supercharged SS I was looking at was just priced to high but I found an SS this weekend that I really like. It's an 03 SS, black with the silverish/grey trim along the bottom. Looks really clean inside and out and only has 47K miles. I think it was a one owner bought and traded back in to the same dealership. They just got it in a few days ago. Hadn't even been detailed when I looked at it. They have it for $11,900. Not sure how low they will go since it just came in but from what I've seen, I thought that price was about right for an 03 SS with 47k. Any opinions on the price? Wish I had some pics to post but they haven't had it on the lot long enough to even get pics yet! Any opinions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The price for the mileage sounds about right.

Does the car have a lot of Toys? Cause that can affect price too as you're well aware of.

Make sure they check things like brake pads, tire tread, things like this. See if you can find out when the last oil/filter change was done on the car? If possible get the dealer to do an oil/filter change for you if you decide to buy the car.

 

And make sure when you drive it, dont get the excited-ness that will make you ignore the small problems. Sounds like a great car though. Offer them 10k and say youll buy from them again, and Im sure they wont refuse it haha.

 

Ya I thought the $11,900 price was about right considering the mileage. If I did the Kelly Blue Book price check right, it was pretty close to that. It's got power everything, black leather, etc. If I could get them down to $10-$10.5K I'd be happy. 47,000 miles on a one owner '03 Monte is pretty low mileage. I've seen quite a few 02 03 04 SS Montes on wheels for you for around $10k with 60-80K miles. Going to go check it out tomorrow so I can see it all detailed and clean. Ask a few more questions and hopefully get the price and financing to work out in my favor. Any more opinions would be much appreciated! Wish me luck!

 

AwesomeSS just got her silver '05 S/C SS for $10K. A few more miles, and not quite perfect paint (highway miles), but that might give you a clue as to the price. Cleanliness and maintenance records are worth a lot.

 

 

check for the simple things that this car is notorious for, and see if those problems can help you get the car cheaper or get them fixed before purchasing.

Ask if you take a look at the suspension, check all around the wheels, bushings, brakes and rotors (OEM ones suck) Check the struts and mounts (pop the trunk and push down on the carpet and see how well the monte bounces back) PLEASE don't just push down on the spoiler lol. Take it for a test drive and listen to the tranny shifts, make sure they aren't slipping. Feel the steering wheel, and try to feel for vibrations such as the intermediate steering shaft / wheel hub assemblies (where the bearings sit).

These cars and engines will last a very very long time if well maintained, so it will be a good investment... but I would kind of try to get that price down to a good 10.5k

 

Doesn't sound too bad. Like every one said check it over really well and see if you can get a CarFax report on it. Check out KBB.com
