The 3400 is the next level up of the 3100 (same block, bigger bore as what I have in my Grand Am). It's a really reliable engine. I'm pushing 220,000 on the '94 and engine/trans (different trans then the Monte) run like new, never been completely rebuilt. I have faith in these so much, for a winter beater my wife has a '05 Impala we bought with a 3400 and 150,000 when we got in December of 2009!!! Runs GREAT and I think it rides as smooth as the Monte.

That to me sounds like an awesome deal! Yeah it may be old but damn that's almost like getting a new car at 10k.... Your closest bet to that would be a cheap, plastic toyota econobox
I payed $8000 for my 2004 Super Sport with 88k. Came with all the options, and a ton of wear and tear on the paint, and a little on the interior.

Basically you are trading a higher price for such low miles. Try bringing him down but appears to be a sound monte. Do you have a Mechanic friend to check it out? Not too much could be wrong at those miles. Sure you don't want to hold out for a SS?

DO NOT BUY A BEETLE! They are one of the worst vehicles to own. Gobs of problems and no one will work on one. They rank up there with the Cadillac catera.
