So ya want to blow her doors off, huh? There's so many jokes here that would get me in trouble.:D

Anyway...
If it doesn't blow her doors off, it would definitely give her a run for her money at the very least. But I do think you'd really enjoy the 242 horse '06 Monte. If your payments are not too bad, I'd say it's a good deal. You'd be getting a more powerful engine, updated styling, 3 years younger, and lots of nice toys and extras.

Black leather interior looks terrific too. Sounds like a very nice car your interested in!

I'm with Space.
DEFINITELY get a carfax done on it.

Space... is your info for a 2007 or 2006?
Jason is looking at a 2006.

Thanks for looking it up. I was about to break out my Consumer's Reports magazine, but your info is more specific then theirs.

Only issues I can think of are the TPMS system, check to see if it was replaced under warranty or if you might be able to get some sort of extended warranty that would cover it, I think it's around $500 to get that fixed. The window seals will pinch every once in awhile and it has been said that you can get those replaced as well. There are some door rattles and i've yet to hear from anyone that's came up with a good solution. Other than that I can't think of anything. Haven't heard of any engine/tranny problems yet with anyone, I know mine's been fine.

As for blowing the doors of off a V6 Ford, that should be pretty damn easy, even if the Monte is all stock.

What color is it?

We got my Monte for $16k or $17k with either 16k or 17k miles on it, can't ever keep the two straight. That was back in August of '06 and it was a pretty sweet deal. Only problems I've had was the TPMS deal, and the deal said they had fixed it when I took it in under warranty, but I don't think they did and now I'm out of warranty and it pops up every so often. I've had the window seal pinch a few times, not enough for me to ever go get them to replace those as a simple rubbing with my finger, or a rolling down of the window for a bit works just fine.

Edit: Oh, and there have been reports of the chrome in the headlight housing dulling. I haven't really noticed as I have a set of eyelids on my headlights that slims them down and blocks of a chunk of that chrome so mine may be dulled, but if they are it's not enough for me to really notice.

Sorry guys wife shot me down.. the 03 with the 3.4 handles its own she only gets about half a car lenghth ahead up to 80..... but she brought up a few good points.
#1 yes it's newer but the 03 only has 61k on it
#2 the 03 has a brand new gm transmission with 9k on it
#3 another extra year on payments i dont want to begin with.
#4 the 03 just looks meaner... and when the 3.4 goes.... hello supercharged 3.8 or convert it to rwd like my buddys 04 grand prix with a 5.7 (mean and nasty)
but i really appreciate all the thoughts and the hard work you put into your research for me. i just wanted to let you know i appreciated it so much, dont know how often you hear you are appreciated here but felt like it needed to be said... thanks taz. and godbot as well...
oh well wash and wax the 03 and convert from #8 to #88 on the trunk... like they say out with the old and in with the new!!


p.s. it was same color as yours godbot
