Does it sound like a good deal in your opinion? The miles are insanely low...

Note: Craigslist sometimes has scammers, etc so be careful.

sounds like a good deal but I would really want to look at it and take to a mechanic and a give it a good look over and make sure the frame is in good shape it sound almost to good to be true to me and the pictures on Craig's list never really show what the car actually looks like
good luck
it would be a great car !!

Call me a pessimist, but sounds like a scam to me. If it really has that low of miles, then why is it so cheap? Maybe, but sounds to good to be true.

I just saw a loaded 2008 Yukon SLT on craigslist for $7700 or best offer, ha ha!
It has low miles and is in perfect condition. Yeah right!

It was a blue 1986ish Monte SS with only 28,000ish miles on it for around $2,800 bucks. (I am close on these numbers, but not exact.)

That price for those miles is too good to be true.

it probably had 280000 miles on it. i dont think its all that unbelievable. those cars arent really worth anything except to die hard monte carlo fans. they werent really performance cars. just a monte with a little tighter suspension, some gearing, and a nose job.

I just got off work awhile ago I guess it's sold now. I don't know if he typod or not, just asked him if he still had it and he said he sold it. I guess I've wanted one from the general 80s era for awhile now but it's probably best that I didn't. I'm going to be putting more money back to do stuff with my monte as it is now most likely.
