1. How long have you had your Monte Carlo ? The 03 I have had since brand new (7.5 years) - I special ordered it. The 05 I have had since Feb 12, 2009.

2. How long do you plan on keeping it ? I hope to keep the 03 forever - I am trying to preserve it by driving other vehicles as my daily driver. I'm not sure about the 05. I will keep it until I start having major problems with it and then I will get rid of it.

3. Do you plan on getting another Monte Carlo ?
What year/model ? etc.? I'm not sure about this one.

I've had the monte a little over a year and a half. Will hang on to it as it's a ongoing restoration. as far as another I'd love to grab a '85 to play with or a gen 5

Since new in '00, and no, hopefully nothing will ever force me to have to get rid of it. I would have to be very desperate to sell it and it would take a very serious accident for it to be trashed. There are no current plans to buy another Monte Carlo.

I got my FIRST monte in October of 2004. It was an 05 white LS... that one crashed, so I purchased another Monte in around March of 2005... that one was an 02 red LS... I really enjoyed them, so I traded up this last October of 2009 for my current Monte... an 04 red Supercharged SS. I plan on keeping this one... it's a limited edition, its supercharged... what more could i want!? :-P I do plan on doing some more modifications to it, so i'd like to keep it around.

I would looooooooooooove to get a fourth gen Monte. Unfortunetly they are VERY underpowered, but I just really, really like the looks of them. I'd want one stock, not heavily modified. My Godfather had two of them in the mid-late 80's and i adored them, still do. We'll see... I also like the Buick Grand National... and THEY are turbocharged, with the same similar looks of a 4th gen Monte... It's hard to find a car up to my standards that is as old as a 4th gen, most are so badly beaten and such AWEFUL shape...

I've had mine for about 9 months now. I dont plan on letting her go, i figure by the time its time to sell, it wont be worth to sell it and i would like to make it a show car. I plan on getting an 06/07 ss for a daily driver/show car and making my current just show car.

1. How long have you had your Monte Carlo ?
Since new in 2004

2. How long do you plan on keeping it ?
Yes, I plan on keeping it. I hope to never have to get rid of it. I plan on turning it into a full show car; if I can find something else as my daily driver

3. Do you plan on getting another Monte Carlo ?
What year/model ? etc.?
My Dad had an 83 but he sold it (the guy he sold it to turned it into a dirt track car). I loved that car. I would love to get another one of that body style.
