I purchased my 1997 Monte Carlo in the summer of 2000 and it's been trouble ever since. Months after I signed the papers most of the interior lights quit working and a funny noise began appearing from time to time from under the hood. The Chevy shops around here tell me that they can't figure out what is making the noise and why (that's what I like to hear) but it is more than likely normal! Also, this car doesn't like certain fluids during certain times of the year. In the summer, it drops oil, in the winter it prefers to drop power steering fluid. I've replaced the power steering pump 5 times in 2 years! And if that wasn't enough, the transmission is begining to slip. = (
The car is VERY easy on the eyes, but looks aren't everything.
When you buy used cars, expect to invest a little money into the car...
Wow took 2 years for a comment!!
