Default Hello!

Hi,
I don't know much about cars but I needed one and I found one earlier today. My buddy sold me his for $250 cos his plates had expired and he's leaving for the military next month - he didn't want to pay to renew the plates to drive it for 1 month. So I benefited. The interior is kinda sketchy and it has 214k miles. But what can you expect for $250? It drives and drives well. Right now, there's a check engine light on so I need to look into that. It also makes a squeaky noise driving down the road some. I asked him what it was, he said something to do with the struts and that it had been like that for as long as he had it which was about a year and a half. I joined this forum to browse around and hope I'll be ready for when any of your guys' problems happen to me!

welcome to the forum, can't really tell by the pic, but it looks like a pretty decent Monte for $250.....

Thanks! I kbb'd it and in 'fair' condition, it was booking at $1765. I'm not sure how accurate that is. But there's a nice stereo in it too and the A/C works. Exhaust sounds a tiny bit loud but not outrageous, (I don't think). I figure worst case scenario, I can sell the stereo and still resell the car for my money's worth.

Welcome to the site. I'd pay 250 for that any day. Nice looking Monte you have there and even if you had to put 1000 into it your still off pretty cheap.
