03 Monte has 25k miles on it only problem is the intermediate steering shaft.
05 Monte has almost 70k on it (I only owned it for almost a year and put 10k miles on it) and the only problems I have with it is that half the radio bulbs burnt out including the passenger climate controller.

It's right behind my '86 LS.
The '86 was a high mileage car when I got it. At the time everyone still wanted $5,000 for their '86/87/88 SS Montes and I couldn't afford it. I know if I'd have looked harder I probably could have come up with a better car in my price range. I test drove the car (twice), I liked it, it seemed to be solid, my parents offered to purchase the car cause I sure couldn't afford it-very generous of them, and other then the torque converter which has been the only high dollar issue with the car so far it's been a decent auto for me.
Finding the missing smaller parts was a bit irritating but I managed.
I do get compliments on the car so I hope they're sincere comments.

Thanks member's for sharing your information. I've enjoyed reading, & also seeing what problems one may encounter with their Monte's.
"Monte Carlo's ~> Treat them with `care/love, & they will love you back with many carefree miles" ~>4-Sure...
I think it's possible for a Monte Carlo to go over
a Million miles +
Take good care of your Monte & your Monte will take
you 2 where U want 2 `go......In `style

154,xxx some odd miles, had about 152k on it when i bought it. '97 LS 3.1 SFI V6, factory alloy wheels, buckets & console interior, no spoiler, torch red & dark gray interior.
it had typical semi-abused 5th gen problems, i needed tires & brakes, it was super scummy / dirty, the passenger door would not open ( a nightmare to get that damn latch out too) the turn signal swich was bad, the console lids are busted & the finish on it is peeling, the dash is starting to lift around the airbags... i did a full tune up, even though it probibly did not need it, it had been setting... a coupla engine sensors, the upstream O2 sensor was bad, got a used window washer bottle & a set of centercaps.... like i said, typical stuff. got all that fixed, and i was golden for a while, then poped a brakeline last wednesday and rear-ended my buddies truck, so i gotta do a brakeline for now & in the spring straighten out the hood & hopefully paint the whole car
