11 records found in Carfax. I would have to look at it in person but personally I think that it is overpriced for what it is and depending on what all is on the Carfax.

Yea, that whole front right corner isn't lining up correctly at all. Look at how the hood and front right fender meet up. It's not lined up at all. I'd say it is a bit over priced considering the damage that looks poorly repaired.

Why does it only have one side airbag. Did it get hit and they just replaced the entire seat with a non-airbag version? Looks like a few corners were cut on a collision repair. I would hate to see the stuff that is actually hidden from view if they half assed the visible stuff, you know.

I would pass on this one too. I've had too many "small fender benders" up front that would cause problems later on. Such as side doors not closing properly, engine hood not alligned, etc. You may run into this as well down the line with this one.

I believe there are a good number of Montes that are in better shape for sell out there.
