Green Bay, WI - 1995 LS
I thought it would be nice to provide a customary introduction post since I'm hoping that fellow owners can offer advice and experience instead of me just coming to a forum and asking what's wrong with my car.
I own a black 1995 Monte Carlo LS with the only aftermarket modification being a K&N air filter that was already in it when I purchased it. At the age of 23, this car remains as my first and only car, and it's been through a lot with me. I managed to pick it up for $1,500 back in 2005, and it was very well cared for. Based on this I believe that my viewpoint of how much I'm willing to pay for a car will be skewed. I have performed nearly every repair on this vehicle myself, and I am a computer geek by trade, not a mechanic. When something breaks, I figure it's going to be a learning experience in addition to saving on labor costs, and take advantage of both of those. The things that I've paid others to replace have been the transmission, tie rod ends, a coil spring, and some rear suspension parts. Every time I think about buying a Haynes or Chilton manual (because I can't find a PDF anywhere online, even though I've spent countless hours searching) I figure the thing won't last me too much longer, but it just keeps on going. |
I've also spent more time than needed and I still can't find a PDF online either. Sounds like you're having a good time learning about your car by doing your own maintenance, the members here are very helpful, just ask away...
on a side note, I'm haven't been a very nice person these last couple weeks because a certain football team in your home state beat mine.......:(.....:D just kidding the Packers played better that day than my Steelers did, congrats...:) |

Welcome to the site. There is plenty of info on here. I've found Haynes manuals to be a pretty good reference for the garage and have several very greasy versions myself. They are well worth the 15 to 20 bucks.
