Unhappy The Monte Carlo Is Gone

Well I have been crazy busy the last month with work and wedding planning. We have 31 days left of school, and I am responsible for creating all of the end of the data we use to place kids for the next year. I have been worn out.

For the last two years the monte has had some electrical gremlins. The head lights would cut out for no reason and the check engine light continues to come on. The car had about 140,000 miles and was no longer fitting our needs. I loved the monte carlo, but I want to have a child soon and my fiance has said we needed a 4 door car before we have a child, and I agree. With the problems the monte had, I decided it was time for it to go. Last night we traded it in on a 2007 Chrysler 300 limited AWD. It is the 6 cylinder model with every option. The car is amazing. I very excited about the car, but sad at the loss of my beloved Monte Carlo.

Here is the only Pic I got before she stole it this morning. lol

That 300 is really sweet. Is that the 3.5 V-6? If so it is an awesome engine that has lots of power and is east to service. I had one in my 96 Dodge Intrepid. Good luck with everything you have going on.

" IF "I ever sold the Monte for a "car". Thats EXACTLY what I would get . Just before I bought the Monte. The last car I looked at was a 300. with all the toys & a HEMI. But once I saw that damn Victory Red. All plans went out the window. Nice choice TODD its looks real clean. Got pics of the interior ?

Good choice! That new ride should be a little more reliable and better suit your needs, can't argue with that

Thanks all, I will get a bunch of pictures of it tonight and put them up. It is the 3.5l V6. I think it will be a great car for us, and with 62,000 miles and a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty it will last. Good news, is when we have kids they can drive montes, so I know there will be more Montes in my future.
