1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo consumer reviews

Bought this car from a friend - it's the Z34 model - who takes immaculate care of their vehicles so I figured it was a safe bet - boy was I wrong! Within the first 2 months the valve gasket started to leak and fouled the plugs, well that was $400.00 to fix and I didn't have the car for over a week. In the next month, the windshield wipers stopped working - was it the wiper motor or the relay switch? Well it cost another $400.00 to figure out it was neither, there was a short in the wire! In the meantime, the lever that controls where your heat or ac blows from stuck on defrost and floor - not even going there to figure out how to fix that! Now my driver side window is stuck down and it's 50 degrees outside and getting colder! This car is a money pit!!

i have the same car, very reliable. mpg in the city, very good for a v6. i had mine for 6 years. still have it now. for that cost, ill get it

Excellent condition leather seats power windows new stereo system pait job is great brand new brakes altinator well kept

It is a great car even with plenty of miles onit. The 3.1 V6 is the most reliable engine I have worked with. The handling is excellent and can turn on a dime. The only downside I could possibly find is the exterior styling, but hey, it's 1996 and with the rear spoiler it almost makes up for it. Bottomline, it's a good car.
