I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to buy a car, if I were you. Take your time and shop around before making a decision. Make sure you test drive each car, press every button you can get your fingers on and bring someone with you that knows about cars (if you aren't mechanically inclined). Also, try to get the car's carfax info from the dealer. What state do you live in? That can also influence the price of the car. Here in Oklahoma, for example, car prices vary depending where you live. The closer you live to Oklahoma City, Tulsa or Lawton the pricier it gets for cars. Definitely shop around, online and and away from the bigger towns, and you should find a nice 6 Gen Monte for a good price.

A yellow SS is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Rare color to find around here, and they look REALLY sharp. 11K is a bit high for a 2002 even with that mileage. True, check out autotrader or car soup... type in the EXACT specifications of the car you happen to be looking at, color, mileage, engine size... every option. Take those numbers both high and low and come up with a nice round figure. Good luck with your search, but honestly i'm pulling for you get your hands on a yellow SS, I would sure be envious! :)
