Default I'll take it!!

Guess what I was doing at 10:15am this moring.

No, not that. Sure it could happen that early in the day but not today. I had to go to work. lol

Test drove a 2005 SS Monte. SUPERCHARGED version.

Black with silver groundies and the chrome diamond cut wheel.

The car has 64,100 miles on it. Couple things I noticed right off.
As soon as I got on I-75 the speedo went completely dead. I mean ZERO.
There was a nasty rattle inside the car that appears the sun roof cover is out of the track is rides in.
The front end wobbles. It felt like the car needs new front struts.
I also couldn't get the cruise to work. But the salesguy and I decided this was only cause it was shut off at the steering wheel and I failed to notice this.

It has the usual toys.
Cruise, a/c, heated leather seats, Onstar, home link, power sun roof, race inspired spoiler, c/d player, and probably a few things I forgot.
It also looks like the tires are fairly new on the car.

Dealer wants $14,000 for the car.

WWWWWAAAAAYYYYYYY too much in my book.

We all wondered before how the supercharged 3.8 compared to the 3.9?

In my book, the supercharged 3.8 can probably take the 3.9 engine.

And the fun factor isn't even close.

Nah, I don't think so either. I paid $16,800 for mine with 18K miles and it was certified used. If you really want it, talk that price down!
