I love my Monte. But, ... she's getting-on in years and miles.
2004 <> 125,000 miles.

Keeps throwing PO-446 Code. I need to fix that to pass Massachusetts Inspection.
Additional Codes for:
Oil Pressure Sensor and Max Shift Duration.

To fix the 446 the shop wants 6-Bills.
Ii also need to pull the Dash to send-out my Instrument Cluster for a complete set of Step Motors and a new Directional Flasher. The Speedo Shop wants a C-note plus shipping.

Needs Rear Tires and Front Calipers and Rotors.

It runs great.
I already did the Lower Intake Gasket job.

What do I need to be asking myself?
What would you do?

Well fix it for about $500 and be rolling down the road in her still or go in debt and buy a new ride you like. Guess you have to ask yourself how broke or well off are you...

 

Max shift is a $600-$2000 fix. Depending on if its clutch clearance or the pressure control solenoid or something else. Most the other things can be done DIY. If you are handy everything but the trans could be done for about $500 yourself (rough guestimation)

 

In my opinion I would fix it. Least you know it's fixed and that it runs. Why buy another car that you know nothing about? Good luck on your choice.

 

None of that sounds so scary IMO. Car payments are expensive too. But by all means, if something newer makes you happier and you can afford then I recommend this.

True happiness is being happy with your car.

Naw, that's not exactly wise speak...
