Default Is this a good deal for a 2005 MC SS SC ?

Time for my younger bro to get a car, and of course I'm steering him into the right direction to get a Monte.
We ended up coming across a 2005 SS SC with the High sport package, silver w ebony interior, pin striping, moon roof, absolutly every option.... Basically an newer version of my 2003, but with a BLOWER!

Anyways it has 51,123 miles. It runs great and looks almost as good, just a few VERY minor cosmetic paint issues, typical for this mileage.

Anyways we got them to bargain down to $12,000. My whole family loves it.

Is that a good price? Should we go for it?

I think 12k is about right for the condition and mileage - I say go for it!

Haha yah Trewyn13, that would make more sense considering I have 6 or 7 more years of driving experience over my brother!

But I am still fiercely loyal to MY car. I foresee never giving up that car!

A blower is slang for a type of supercharger that only forces more air into the engine. There are superchargers that actually compress the air that is forced into the engine, for example a whipple supercharger. You do not call these type blowers. The eaton M90 that comes on the L67 is a "blower".

..........Jeff, 12,000 is a good price for this one. I paid a little over
12k for mine also. It had 56k miles on it and it has everything on it.
Mine when new, listed for over $31,000.00
So, if you can...GO FOR IT !
