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.

 

The one your posting is an LT. The 2005 LT is the same as the 2000-2004 SS. In 2005 all SS cars were supercharged, so the L36 model was badged as an LT.

 

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?

 

haha I have an SS myself its for her its between a VW bug and this car at the moment so im just gonna se which is better

 

Its an LT basically the same thing as an SS

 

yea i understand just dont like the interior not being leather

 

It is better if you are going swimming or driving naked I hate sticking to my seats.

 

Looks nice! Should last a long time if that is the correct mileage....

Carfax at least...

 

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.
