If it is a V6, just walk away. If it is a V6 and an auto trans, run away.


$4k is really top book. Some examples from my area.

If you ignored your issues for over a year and drove all winter in salt without ever washing I could see that getting worse.

In all honesty, your rust issue looks very minor compared to what I've seen on other Montes. I will admit it can be very hard to see that rust everyday. I'm thankful that I have none on the body but of course there's plenty underneath.

Best of luck with your vehicle search. If you can get your asking price for your Monte I'd say go ahead and do it but seeing how you've just bought new wheels I'd probably just hang onto your Monte now and purchase a different vehicle later on. You haven't even had time to fully enjoy your Monte Carlo yet

I think I'm ending my vehicle search, because I've found something to please my speed appetite at a reasonable price.. $2500

The GT650R inspires rider confidence whether you are commuting or burning your favorite stretch of road. The distinct styling features a 2 stage projection beam for greater visibility. The chassis is fitted with 43mm inverted forks, an oval tube frame both increase rigidity to provide better rider feedback and greater stability. The GT650R is a motorcycle that begs to be ridden the long way home.
