Why did You ?

...Why I bought one......
I have always liked the styling of the last two generations of MC's. I always had it in the back
of my mind that if ... and if, I could afford one someday that I would try to get one.
I just couldn't decide on the color and like "MAMONTE" I don't really care for
silver either (except for the ground affects ). My first choice of color is the Laser Blue metallic
with Neutral interior. And I have always dreamed of owning a Chevy SS.
(By the way there is one STILL FOR SALE IN lower PA somewhere.
Private $15500.00. A beautiful car ! Go to autotrader.)
I could never find one around here or close enough to Arkansas that I liked.
It seems ALL the MC's are up north ? Unh ?
But after much searching and web browsing I finally found one that I could
settle with and AFFORD. And I love it ! I get several compliments on it and have
enjoyed the time that I have had with it. My girlfriend even likes the heated seats.
If you can attain or live a dream...Go for it !

ha honestly i dont know the true reason why i decided to get/drive a monte carlo. There are a couple reasons that I can kind of think of. Well obviously the fact that my race car is an 86 ss automatically drew me in to them. Umm always been a fan of nascar for as long as i can remember and always loved jeff gordan and dale senior when i was younger and they drove monte carlos. My dad loves the monte carlo and had a lot of the 3rd and 4th gens back in his street racing days. And ths first time I remember seeing a 6th gen monte carlo was at my dad's shop...there were two of them that i remember, a red pace car edition that a young guy owned and a regular silver ls that a friend of ours owned...needless to say that i fell in love with them right away once i discovered what they were. I'm sure I probably noticed them before that time i saw those two, but thats the time that stuck with me the most. I know strange and random decisions but it works lol so yeah i remember seeing a silver and black one on the street one day and i told my dad that that was the one that i wanted or a dale earnhardt edition and we got lucky and found a black and silver 04 with low miles on it about a year and a half ago and my love for them just keeps growing

I was driving a '93 Silverado when I hit the road in October '05, and drove that truck to school and back and to work until March of '06, my parents matched what I would put in a car. I wanted somethign a little different than everyone else had, and looked at Mustangs and Camaro's, but they were too popular. I was the different guy at school and had to have a different car!! I had a "cowboy" look (hence the name) and my mom kept trying to convince me to buy a truck, but I'm not too fond of trucks, and I was already driving one!! I wanted a car!!! (side note, I had more luck with the trucks than I ever had with my car... o'well, danged redneck girls). The Monte Carlo ended up being the answer!! I found this one from a private seller in Raleigh, and for $9500, it was mine! 24,000 miles and 2 years, 9 months later, I'm still rolling around in it!!!!!

ever since 2000 i loved monte carlos, i had always wished my dad would buy one so i could ride in it and be like jeff gordon.
eventually he bought one, then i got in my truck accident and totalled out the truck and was left with nothing
so i put down an offer to my dad and he said alright, since he didnt drive much and would be going to a town and country, and my mom would get a new trail blazer..
im definately satisfied

Why did you buy your Monte Carlo ?
Are you going to tow your Monte Carlo to the `South ?
Good Luck

Had a 95 Z34 that I sold to a co-worker who was moving out of state (mid 2002). Sold it mostly because I heard about some headaches with the 3.4 DOHC engine (friend had a 93 Lumina Z34). Ever since I regretted selling the car but had my truck. Lost my local job got a new one in Columbia and had to commute 70 miles a day, 17.5 mpgs weren't going to get it done. Started looking for a commuter car, researched the ones I could afford, came here read a lot of post changed my search from a commuter car to a 2000+ SS. Found one in the Upstate of SC like I wanted and had my local dealer bring it down and have enjoyed it ever since.
