Default sweet deal on a 6th gen monte?

Probably gonna get a 2005 monte carlo LT got the 3.8l v6 wit leather and power seats and sunroof.
125K miles.
clean record.
for 4000$ nillas.

what yall think? can I do better for 4G's? I'm thinking either way, the resale value will make it worth it. I think 4G's is a dam good deal but I am in the dark about monte's...

I dont know anything about monte carlos but this thing rides very nice and is fast its all stock though throw somethin at me PLEASE what to do what to do

thanks!

That's well below what Kbb says it's worth. If the body and interior are in great shape, I say go for it. Here's what Kbb says it's worth:

Private Party-
Excellent...$7,215
Good........$6,615
Fair..........$5,665

Retail (at a delearship)
Excellent...$8,965

Yeah it shows its a good deal on kbb and its close to excellent shape one or two dents but they can b fixed not bad and the driver side window has trouble rolling all the way up sometimes and it probably needs a tuneup also i need to take it to a shop because its got a small leak in either the oil pan gasket, oil pan or an oil line im not sure.

but beyond that what im asking is if anyone has experience or knows if this is a good deal with everything that the monte brings to the table since I'm only spending 4G's on it I would like to dump a couple more thousand in upgrades/mods and I'm not sure if this car has a lot of capability to be upgraded considerably or like just get a paint job done and some rims. I would like to see some hp gains mostly its a big v6 engine already what else is there?

For modding the 3.8L V6 - ZZperformance.com is a great place to start.
