- How many `miles on your Monte Carlo + Problems ?
#145
2005 LS
Bought used w/17,186 in Feb. 2006
Have the 3.4L V6
I do minor work on her, major things are done by a good friend of mine (who is a auto mechanic)
Current mileage: 60,276 Miles
The only issues I've had and fixed: Aside from a sway bar bushing, water pump, Radiator cap, Instrument Cluster (Burnt out bulbs, sticky Speedo), A/C Cluster (Burnt out bulbs) Driver Power window switch (top portion broke off), Passenger Door Lock switch (had short and was causing the doors to lock and unlock at random), brakes and tires (maintenance items) and new rims , my car has been "Like a Rock" As you can tell, most of my problems were electrical..
