Here is more I found about 10 total
btw this is how I got my monte I am a freak when it comes to finding stuff. I mean I found a company to start a new product for montes i just need more ppl to jump on with me.

 

Heres one you could just drive till you graduate then get a nicer one and should leave you with a little extra money

2002 Chevy Monte Carlo SS 3200 obo

 

I say check this one out! If he's got verification from a reputable shop on the newer parts I'd say it's a great price depending on condition. Try to get the vin number or have it checked out. Never hurts to make an offer either. Guy says he doesn't have a garage to keep it in? Who knows what that means.. could just mean he's got a different car that's now garage kept. I say take it for a spin and check out the body/interior conditions.. (if these look good for the miles it should be worth the price with a new engine and trans) If you're looking for something to keep for a while, miles might not be a huge issue seeing how there's a new engine and trans.. but if the body's rough I'd start out pretty low as in $4000.. don't want to offend him but who knows.. Could just be a great deal on a pace car?

If you're having a hard time I'd say just wait it out until you find that one that's perfect for you.. It will come up eventually. Don't need to get back into a Monte this week or month (even though I'm sure you really want to!) There will be plenty of deals on Monte Carlos in the future I bet. So if you look at something and it just doesn't feel like the right one for you, never hurts to walk away and keep looking

 

I talked to the guy he sold it he said but yeah im trying to stay patient even though its killing me to drive my GF cavalier

I might go home this weekend to Chicago and try to get something I see the door looks like its off a shade im guessing its been in a wreck just dont want to drive 4hours for some BS

I saw your post about the new things for monte a while back a little pricey but might be worth it
