Miles lol miles!!!!!! I won't get more than a penny if I try selling it lmfao, but the entire drive train and suspension on this car has a warranty for 2.5 or more years (unlimited milage). So mechanically this car is in safe hands, cosmetically and age is a different story.

Good luck with your new ride. I recently let go of my Monte. It was in excellent shape, but I was getting bored with it. In addition I just couldn't justify dropping the thousands of dollars into it to bring it up to speed (pun intended). I did a lot of negotiating with the salesman but got $7500 out of it as trade in value.

WoW bro 7500 trade in value... Unless it had less than 20k on it I can't see any dealer giving out that much for a widely produced car like the 6th gen MC. The sales man who gave you that price I bet is out of a job currently or under supervision for that decision. But props to you none the less.

If I wanted to trade mine In ill prolly end up owning the dealer to take away my Monte lol.

But yea I need a sedan for summer my back hurts trying to load and unload kids from the Monte rear seats. The M5 is absolutely useless in winter and soon the kids will be in school and school season is in winter.... I'll need something bigger for my back sake

Since you really wouldn't get much from selling it, let alone crushing it, I'd keep it. Put it on non-op, park it somewhere if you can. When your kids get older fix it up with them, teach them how to work on a car. It'd be a great learning experience and they could get a nice car out of it.

Yea this isn't the kinda car you wanna keep to show kids how to fix up, I'd rather build something i'll enjoy too I'm bored of this car and where the heck am I gonna store it? My wife I know will start complaining about it taking up half the driveway soon or later, plus 14-16 years from now with our winter it'll be a rust bucket by the time the kids grow up old enough to know what a wrench or a Chanel locks is

I've seen a few 3800s well over 600k miles. That's the first 3400 I've seen rack up that kind of mileage. Impressive.
