Hi `Jerry, Where do you have your Monte listed for sale ?
Have you put it on Auto Trader or Cars.com ?

I hope you are not making a mistake, but it's your decision 4-Sure..

Below is what I see on the 4th gen you want

On Oct 24, 08 it states that this Monte had 62,609 miles *?*
It sat for almost 4 years or only driven ? to 62,781 miles during that period ?
Where & how was it stored ? Was it maintained properly ?

I think this subject Monte is a Big Risk, and could be Big Problems...

I pray/hope that you give some serious thoughts before you confirm or sign any paperwork 4-Sure...
There's to many ?'s on this 4th Gen...
p.s. it's been on the dealers lot for over a Month & has not been sold @ their asking price..(I'm sure they really want your S.S. ~> I think they want to steal yours & get rid of this questionable 4th Gen !!!!
Good Luck `Jerry on your decision...

My opinion is that I would not, but opinions are like rear ends

EveryBody has one, but some just `stink more then others

Oh `No

It is listed on Craigslist, Indiana/Muncie. I thought about auto trader and may yet do that.

Hi `Jerry,
I think you need to get a broader audience in the sale of your last year S.S. with a rare color + super Mod's.
Good Pictures are your best selling feature on any selling site.

AutoTrader.com & Cars.com have a proven site that is viewed by everyone in the USA + World...Last resort, I would put it on E-Bay with a reserve price or Buy it Now for $17K... I think it would be a good investment of your $'s to get a bigger audience & $'s for your S.S. 4-Sure..

I know thats why most are marked that way due to the 5 digit instead of 6. I just think its stupid when they mark it miles exempt even though it has original miles (like my camaro) because its over 10 years old, just totally shoots the value to hell IMO.

Well the poll you added is Space is kind of unanimous to at least not buy that one. So far they are only willing to give me $500 back after paying mine off. That wont get it. I may list it in better places this evening.

Yes `Jerry, they are try'in to steal your Monte & give you toilet paper, but they are a Ford Auto Dealer trying to get your last year S.S. Monte Carlo & put it on their lot for $20K...They are in business to make $', not give $'s away...I think you are better selling yours privately & being in control to get the best $'s for you 4-$ure!!!!

Happy to read that you are moving on and going to use professional media sites to list with a greater audience of future buyers. Good Luck 4-Sure

Yes Space that one is nice, I had already seen it. It is close as I work in that town qquite a bit. Can't say I like the tires, I like 4 matching wide width tires. BUt, that is a super ride and sharp. Thanks. I almost listed mine on Auto trader last night but was busy with the rental business. I don;t think I will get much over 15K from it, looking around, they just aren't selling for that much. Not private party anyways. MY KBB value private is $14900 I think but I do have extras. I am not in a rush so we will see how this pans out. If I get one, I prefer T-Tops, Cold A/C, and bucket seats are a must. I will keep you in the loop. Thanks for your assistance and opinions.
