ive been doing tons of research for a good first car. Me being a true car person DID NOT want a honda, looked at some VR6's, but didnt want to pay 10k for a car with 100k miles on it. So here i am today, im considering a 95-99 MC z34, but i hear that the 3.4 dohc is unreliable. How unreliable is it, my dad use to be a mechainic but some things you can do yourself. Thanks

 

I've never heard the 3.4 referred to as unreliable. How many miles on this particular unit?

 

My first car back in 1976 was a 283 yellow Chevelle with a black vinyl top. It only costs $500. I think the Z34 is extremely comparable this day to the Chevelle's of my day. I'd get one if I were 16 today.

I forgot to mention that it was a 1967 Chevelle

 

I concur...My first car was something most people here in the US have never heard of: a 1995 Nissan ADwagon



Being the first of my class to have a driver's license...I was the shiznit. But if I could have had a 95 Monte Carlo, I don't know what I would have done with myself.

Go for it, man!

 

my first vehice was a 1978 datsun 620 pickup bought it for 200 bucks


My first car

 

well i dont have a particular unit in mind, but theres alot for sale around where i live and pretty cheap. Im also getting a job soon.

 

My first car was a 1972 Ford Galaxie 500.. What a POS that was... lol Mine was puke green instead of the blue shown here.

 

still better than what i had the 80hp wonder

 

SO, back to the topic at hand...anybody see a reason why Mr. quagmireSS shouldn't go for the 95 - 99 Monte 3.4?
