Satisfied
I purchased my Monte new while I worked at the dealership. The first 50,000 miles had very few problems with it. The only really thing was that I blew a power steering line and the junk tire pressure sensors. I had the keyless entry system (which reads the tire pressure sensors) replaced twice. And numerous amounts of sensors replaced before it fixed itself. After 50,000 the GMPP warranty paid for itself. Had control arms, wheel bearings, and tie rods replaced all at once. Had oil rings in the engine seize and had 8 new pistons and rings installed. Trust me I take care of this car! Nothing but 92+ octane and synthetic oil every 5,000 miles. All maintanence performed regularly.
#TeamMonteCarlo
I've had an obsession with MC's since my brother got a 2001 when I was in 8th grade. I just KNEW it would be my first car. and it was! A beautiful car with the heart of racing. I couldn't be more pleased and I plan on keeping my MC forever!

SS - MOST FUN IN YEARS
It was like a mid-life crisis buy and definitely don't regret it! Absolute blast to drive. Comfortable even for my 6'3" height. Put on performance exhaust and sounds amazing. DOD actually works.
2006 Super Sport
I traded in a 2001 Buick Regal GS for the SS. I had high hopes after owning the Regal for four years, and without question I'm not disappointed by the Monte. The shape of the outside is handsome without being obnoxious. The interior is spacious, especially for a coupe, seats my 6'5" frame nicely, and the interior is a nice improvement from the Regal, which was already nice. Of course, the focal point of owning a Super Sport is the performance, and this one does not disappoint. Just from the feel, it blows the memory of my '87 Monte SS out of the water.
One of the best Pre-Owned V8 5.3L Values
If you can find a well cared for low mileage late production SS model as I did, you will be well served by the Monte Carlo SS 5.3L V8 powered Coupe. Don't let those who speak out against the front wheel transverse drive sway you, there is do discernible torque steer and the handling is fabulous. Mine is a 2006 model year, one year prior to the discontinuation of the model and all but the intermediate steering control was worked out. I had mine replaced by the selling dealer at time of purchase, but it is still not by, inherent to the design, but not a show stopper. The Black paint is flawless and after having the dealer replace the fogged headlights with a set of brand new Clear assemblies, the car looks brand new and turns heads getting thumbs ups at traffic lights. I wish Chevy would bring back the Monte Carlo model to their lineup... in the meantime, this one is serving well.
