I just bought my 1998 monte carlo with 114k on it... everything works perfect and have had the oil changed and new tires sparks plugs batties good and everything else.. Just wondering was this a good buy or not.. The car runs wonderful like brand new and how long should it last me.

should last another 100,000 miles if you treat it right. should have been a good deal... i'm not sure what the 90's monte's go for.. if you paid less than like $5k i'd say its a good dea.

I just asked a woman yesterday if she wanted to sell her 1990s Monte? She said it was a '99 and has over 200,000 miles on the car.

It sure didn't look like a 200k mile car.

I would go for it just check under the hood to make sure you're getting your moneys worth.. As long as the car's inside and out looks nice you should get it.. If the car has been takin care of it should last you atleast 100,000 more miles.. how much would she sell it for.

She said she bought the car new. That it has always been a good car for her. And wouldn't sell it for anything.
