Default Traded the Monte Carlo

So I got rid of my 07 Monte Carlo. This guy called me and offered me his 1996 Impala SS with 44000 miles on the clock plus some cash. This is the second 96 Impala I have owned. I love these cars and it makes my life a lot easier with my 1 year old daughter. I liked the Monte Carlo but the Impala makes more sense for me know. And now for the best part pics of the new ride.

Cool, very nice low mileage car! How much cash on top if you don't mind me asking.

$3000. The way I look at it the Impala is worth about 11000 on the high end if someone really wanted it so I got 14000 for my monte which isnt that bad. And the exhaust sound good but the tips are ugly as hell I need to change the tips but that is the last of my worries

I would have actually liked a different color. I wanted a DGGM but a DCM would have been good. This is the second black 96 Ive owned

Just an opinion here but.... I have never really been a fan of the car. I mean I see what make's it such a nice car with the v8, rwd and rarity but it just looks so, idk. If I were to get rid of my car I would go newer, not 13 years older.

BUT.

I guess that's what makes the world go round. Did not mean to offend anyone or the OP, just an opinion. Either way the car does have a nice body and low miles so that's a +.

I totally see your point of view but I really love these cars and the age did not matter because of how many miles are on it. If it had 100k on it then I would have not done the deal.

I've always loved the LT1 Impalas, they're friggin boats though! Nice score landing one with such low mileage, congrats.

Joe.
