1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"Wish I had its twin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced head gaskets at 180000 miles.
Replaced alternator 4 years ago.
General comments?
Well I guess you can get a good one or a lemon in every car. I'm glad I have had no problem with mine till now.
The transmission burned out today, but after 220 thousand miles something had to go wrong. Just hope the next one is as cheap to keep going as this one was.
