john_in_nc's Full Review: 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
I purchased my 98 Monte from Hertz car sales. I purchased it for a song, 10,500 and got a 70,000 mi warranty for another $700. The car has been great. Looks good and was very reliable. At the suggestion of the dealer when I bought it I always used the emergency brake to keep pressure off the park pin. This is something we all should do but many neglect.
In the 125k miles I had the car I had only to change an alternator (probably killed it from my ham radio) and then a water pump which was a 15 minute job that I did myself. Yes, I did not need the warranty but is okay as piece of mind is worth a few hundred to me.
I recently purchased a 2005 Monte SS. The SS drives very similar to my 98 but has better visibility, more acceleration, more bells and whistles and even more comfort, something that I could not believe possible.
Maybe it is the plant they build them in, maybe it is the design engineer I don't know but the Monte Carlos are GM's Gem!
