2001 Chevy monte carlo ss... decent car.. typical ss that was only "ground effects" but it drove smooth like glass! had flowmaster dual cat back... had it since 06...it was getting high on miles and the notorious trans problem (front v6 were having) was beginning to worry me.... so i traded it

I think I have posted mine but I cant remember so I will do it again. I traded a 2000 Monte SS that was rear ended and the pass door bent forward. I had exhaust leak, coolent leak, oil leak and a lifter tick. It was the SS that just said SS on the outside and had the ground effects. it didnt even have a CD player. I went to dealer looking at a used 07 1lt. But I test drove a red 2lt loaded minus sunroof and spoiler. The difference in price would have made me stupid to go used and they even match a GM pep price that I was going to get thru my dad within $600 so final price was 15 and some change. It had 154 miles when i bought it and I had put 134 of those miles on when I test drove it. Now I have had it for a year and have about 11k miles. Have loved it every moment of every day.

Good bye Kia, Hello HHR
I gave up a 2008 Kia Sportage EX 4WD. Loved the Kia but it was involved in an accident on April 2 and lo and behold i was provided a 2010 Chevy HHR 1LT rental car for sixteen days while the Kia was being repaired. Did not know anything about the HHR, but after driving one a few days, knew i had to have one. The day after i got the Kia back i traded it on a silver 2010 HHR 1LT with power sunroof, auto trans, my link package, and spare tire and wheel. It is the beautiful silver ice metalic with ebony interior. Have owned it twelve days now and have found nothing that i would change. Guess i might miss the all-wheel drive when the snow gets deep, but i can always stay home as i am retired. Goodbye Kia and hello 25-30% fuel savings. Thank you Chevrolet!
