Wow. I'm suprised you found so many high mileage '06 Monte Carlos. Mine had only 16,500 when I bought it.
And what are these ISS (intermediate steering shafts) that you guys are speaking of?

Go under the dashboard on the driver's side, above the pedals, remove 2 clips and the plastic cover drops,
you'll see a plastic boot that you can peel away to expose a greenish ring.
Shoot a lubricant up in there, turn the wheel 90°, shoot more lubricant.
Place plastic back over, re attach the cover.
I use nail gun oil in spray form, some have used WD-40, but it doesn't last long

It's only a temporary fix, and it will constantly come back, unless you take the whole damn thing apart, remove the ISS and grease it properly. But i'd rather spray it every few months, then go through the labor costs / intensiveness of that.

`Mike, you know your Monte Carlo's 4 Sure
___________________________
The 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo adds a tire-pressure monitor, a FlexFuel badge for all 3.5-liter 3500 V6-equipped models, standard 17-inch alloy wheels on LT, new 7.0 Generation OnStar system with Turn-by-Turn navigation, and four new exterior colors. The Monte Carlo SS receives a standard XM Satellite Radio and an optional Rally Stripe package. The LTZ model and 3.9-liter V6 engine has been discontinued.

There are some super prices on Monte Carlo's
and especially 06-07 SS's
Over 50% off MSRP, and I believe the prices
will stabilize after the major first two year depreciation `hit.
Clean/maintained Monte's hold their resale value,
and I think limited Monte's will increase in value
every year.

DoD made it sound like the engine got weaker when the cylinders turned off on the highway.

They were so cheap, they made great daily drivers. I just hit 81k this week.
