Description:
I almost gave up on finding a LOW milage Monte Carlo. Then got on my I Pad one Saturday morning typed in Monte Carlo, on "Auto Trader". To my surprise there was a low mileage 2002 SS down the road at a "Nissan" dealership! Price was right and gave me a fair trade in for my 1999
Monte Carlo Z34.
Drove it home that Saturday afternoon.
Little did I know the engine in this car was removed and replaced at 40k miles....JASPER tag on bottom of engine oil pan. Hope that is a good rebuilt engine..... No wonder why Dealership was pushing WARRANTY REAL HARD TO ME.

Found this 2002 Monte Carlo SS at a local dealership. Very low miles; 47,700 for eleven years old!
Had to trade in my 1999 Monte Carlo Z34 after the rear struts pushed into trunk from rust. The rest of car was great, paint and body. Just put $1200.00 into new brakes, calipers, pads, rotors and rear wheel hub bearing! If I only was told the rear strut towers were going....
