GLAD to hear you sold the BOX, and come out ahead on the deal! The Monte youre looking at looks like one FINE ride, and as long as the price is fair, you surely can't go wrong on it! At 25 years old, the value of it is going up. You might even be able to drive it and then sell it for more than you paid, when the time comes. Good decision Space!

Wow space, you sure turned over a quick profit from your pizza box. Good luck on your monte hunt. I really like the SS you have pictured above. Looks like a sweet ride for sure. Lets hope it becomes the newest space ride. Good luck.

Congrats on turning a quick profit. The SS looks great. Hopefully you will get it. Always remember we are not defined by the good times, but by who we are in the bad. Those downs are invaluable in teaching you how to survive and about who you really are. I also went through severe ups and downs. I wouldn't change it because that is what made me who I am.

Hey 'Space.. thats a nice looking ride, but consider this.....

You claim your dream is an 06-07 V8 SS. I say you waiti t out a little while if possible and get what you want. If what you wanted was the 80's SS (in which case the one posted looks great) then by all means I'd jump on it. But my father taught me when I was looking at Monte Carlo's, amongst a couple of other cars: wiat nad get what you want. Don't settle. You'll know hte right car when you see it.

I'm not an expert on Monte Carlo's and there prices, but I'd say the only reason the Monte Carlo is going up in price right now, atleast part of it, is probably due to inflation. So although you'll have sold it for more than you bought it for, the reason is really due to inflation. Of course the 06 and 07's and deflating due to their age , so you might get ahead, but these are just my thoughts.

Good luck in your ride hunts, and may you get what you really want, and not settle for less

SSuper looking '83 SS Monte SSpace. I never knew the '83s were rare? They may havebeen the very first year of SS for that body style, but definately NOT the very first SS Monte ever produced or sold. That was back in the early 1970s as all of us know. And.......... a key point I'd bring up when dealing with the seller of this fine SS Monte.

Wonder how many '83 SS Montes Mike from Mike's Montes parted over the years? Ah to be rich enough to do that. Course we all know Mike would not have parted out a single Monte Carlo if there weren't some profit in it.

Anyway, hoe you get this SSuper looking Monte to park in your drive.

That is a beautiful 83, I hope you get it!!!!! My friend had one back in the day, if you'd just tap the accelerator, you were in another state.
