New Member 2003 Monte Carlo SS Jeff Gordon Ed.
Ive been searching for a car for the past two weeks, Ive had dealers tell me they had the car i wanted in stock, drive 30 miles, to find out the car wasnt there....making sure to tell them id never do business with them, and tell everyone to avoid.
I started my search with monte carlos, ive always loved them and their uniqueness. Unfortunately at the beginning of my search, the mileage or accident reports of available models made me go a different route. For two weeks ive been looking at everything from SUVs to sedans. It was a perilous journey as ive spent HOURS in dealerships, trying to employ negotiation skills learned from business classes, dozens of dealers numbers written down with quoted prices. When i felt worn out, i decided to check for monte's again....and behold, a dealer had a 2003 Monte Carlo ss Jeff Gordon Edition listed that very day. My heart raced and i fell in love immediately, I had to have it. The negotiation was long and took about 3 hours, it was hard acting like i didnt care if i got the car or not, and tried to discredit the extra options this beautiful model got, but I stood my ground, and got the car for a great price. I write this as my new monte sits in the garage, as i debate sleeping in it tonight. Pictures to come, as well as hundreds of posts on upgrading/adding questions come about. I look forward to discussing with you all! |
cool man, you have a nice ride in the garage right now, hope to see some pictures soon, the members are impresssive with their mods and facts, keep on posting, i'm very sure you'll be impressed as i was when i got my new monte, later man

hi and welcome, i'm not a huge gordon fan, but the car you just got is sweet, just my opinion, but since jr #88 joined him, all i can say is, if you can't beat em, join em, see ya

You couldn't ask for a nicer blue 6th gen :P
(BTW, you may think the car is perfect now... but wait until you read some of the posts) be prepared to spend about $1000 modifying small things lol |
Very nice. I like the ghost flames.
