Not mine! Accordin to the dealership, I need new inside and outside bushings, a left hub, and a crack in the exhaust mount to be fixed! On top of this I just realized I have a splatter of grease coming from down under by my belts which I've been told is a cv boot! I need new tires and some new black housing headlights and one hid bulb! Cost wise idk! I spent $1200 last time on a motor for the window, #13 belt, and right hub! So I can imagine what the rest will cost!

I'm pretty happy with my Monte's overall condition right now, but I think the front brakes still need some work, even though the guy at the local Meineke shop says the pads & rotors don't need to be replaced yet.

Mine is almost 100%. Fuel sender unit is busted, so my fuel gauge has a mind of its own. And now I'm hearing some whining from my AC Compressor. No big deal though, it still runs like it's brand new.

Mine is pretty much 100%, except for 1.) every now and then, a very small amount of oil shows up near the camshaft sensor, (doesn't reach the ground) 2.) I get the occasional electrical glitch (dome light not coming on when you open the passenger door, once with the driver's door, etc.) The sensor has been resealed, but it still does it every now and then. With the other, I really don't want to have to replace the BCM unless I have to.. 3.) the rear brakes squeal every now and then. All four sets of brake pads and rotors have been replaced recently and I have plenty of pad left on them. Boy does that get annoying! I've gotten used to it though.
