It's a dealer. Has only been on the lot a couple weeks.

They are replacing a cracked windshield and detailing the car before purchase.

New tires were recently put on there....can't remember what kind off the top of my head, but they are nice.

Sound about right on price, also depends what they are going for where you live. Did you take pics of it so we can see it?

Does it have any paint issues? I got my price lowered because the paint was not taken care of by first owner. Is interior nice? And it's not just about the looks. Is there anyone you can have check out it's mechanical aspects?

The paint is in good shape. There is maybe one small nick on the bottom side panel that isn't visible unless inspecting it up close. Interior is maintained excellent, no tears or wear.

According to the carfax there has been nothing mechanically wrong with it since it's been owned. It's a one owner car, and the guy had it regularly checked.

I'm working on getting someone out there to look at it, I just don't want someone to jump in and buy it before I do.

Well, it's always good to have a mechanic look at it first. You never know what issues it may have. Intimidators are nice Montes! I almost got one instead of the one I have now. Good luck and welcome to the forum! I am sure others will chime in here on your thread also with advice/opinions!

SSuper nice Monte Carlo.

Something to look for if you are buying the car. Make sure the sun roof operates. I know the power switch can go bad on them and it is expensive to replace.

If your dream is to own an Intimidator then I'd say scoop it up! Looks like a good one and in the end its only money (assuming you can afford it)
