nice car, I am a fellow "LS" Monte owner (i have a 2004) it is dollar for dollar one of the nicest cars I have ever owned and driven. It has great power for a big car, good fuel economy I avg high 20s/low 30s. I love the big trunk I can carry 2 full size suitcases and a good size carry on bag in the back with the back seat upright. I currently have 154K on mine but it has been babied its whole life, full synthetic oil/ATF since day one. Other than new tires, belts/hoses, and a new battery the car is all original. Good luck with your Monte
