Default Traded in my 06 lt3 & wifes 12 cruze

It was very, very, very, hard to do. But with the monte carlo turning 8 years of age and kelly blue book telling me its not going to be worth much more if i keep it any longer and with hoping i don't get hit, cause you never know if your car insurance will Total your ride no matter how great it looks or how low the miles are. So the wife and I ended up getting a 2014 Impala 2ltz, let me tell you this car rides nice, and this 3.6 motor sounds great. Chevy did a great job on this car. Now, i look under the car in there is a DRIVE SHAFT TUNNEL. Is there going to be a R W D 2015 Monte Carlo? Inside the car in the back seats there is a large hump in the middle of the floor this like in a R W D car. By the way, i ended up getting almost $9,000 for my monte from the dealer the blue book was $6,100. But i know the dealership has room to play.

Post some pictures of your Impala for us to see it. Sounds like it will be a nice ride to have. They may have the same body style of the ss which I believe is rwd. I am not sure though this is only a guess.

It's possible also that they share similarities to the CTS. The CTS also comes with the 3.6, and can be RWD or AWD.

Congrats on the new Impala. They are definitely sweet rides!

I'll be looking at them, or the ATS for my wife in a couple of years.

Thanks, i will try to post some pics. as soon as i can. This 3.6 can get this big car moving pretty quick. chevy claims 0 to 60 in 6.8 but this car feels much faster then that , i would say it can do 60 in about 6.0.
