Hey guys,

Thought I would do this one more time since it's probably been a while since my last odometer thread. Here's the loose guidelines:

-Year/Model
-Miles @ Purchase/Current
-Transmission Count
-Mentionable Repairs
-Next Car?

So here's the first one!...

2006 Impala SS
97k/150,103
Tranny Rebuilt @ 80k

1.) Steering creak/crunk when turning, from steering column under hood. What is that?

2.) Salt rotted mufflers. WOW WOW WOW stock mufflers are QUIET. Mine must have had holes when bought because it was never dead *** quiet.

-Probably Focus Titanium, Fusion V6 AWD, 200 Limited, or '13 Taurus SHO. (LOL I work at a Ford/Chrysler store.)

Ready Set Go!

 

What the hell...


2006 GP GXP
40K/ now 60K
Org. Trans, and no problems (I attribute to my overkill tune and 20K trans fluid changes)

Biggest repairs:

1 Wheel hub
1 Tie rod
1 ISS
Usual wear and tear stuff (tires/brakes)

Next car: Looking at used Acura TL's, BMW 335i, maybe Hyundai Genesis 4.6

 

- 2007 Monte Carlo SS
- 37100/38750
- Never been replaced or rebuilt....yet
- Oil Pan Gasket
- Subaru WRX STI (wont be for a long time)

 

2006 MC SS
90k/115k
Trans rebuilt at around 105k, could also have been redone before I bought the car.

Big repairs besides trans: Battery.

Next car would be the Camaro ZL1, unlikey due to price though, otherwise probably a cheap 4wd tahoe/blazer for a winter beater/tow vehicle (to the track).

 

This again??? Guess I'll play.

'08 GXP
9k/64k
Second trans at 40k.
2 wheel hubs, all else are minor and general maintenance
Something older, another RX-7 maybe.

ISS, intermediate steering shaft, or something like that...

 

06 MCSS
Bought: 35915
Current: 55896

Issues: 1 front wheel bearing

Tranny is ok so far

Next car.. Camaro SS Convert.

 

lol, you've had the car for 1500 miles and already scouting?

 

2006 monte carlo ss
50k/55k
general maintenance, pulley, ac actuator, battery
pontiac gto or g8 gxp

 

2006 Monte Carlo SS
3500 Miles
Battery
Power Steering Recall
64 1/2 GTO

 

Better take it easy, Mel, that thing MAY hit 5k by 2014.

 

I know Damn

 

if i would have had the money i probably would have an STI now but i was a couple grand short. i have always wanted one. like i said it will be a long time cus i plan to keep the monte. Dont get me wrong i love my MC.

 

Does it have to be a MC?

 

2006 Monte SS...

special ordered in October 2005.. took delivery on Nov. 23rd 2005.. 3:30pm.. there was a dusting of snow on the ground...

car had 6 miles on it... it now has just about 111,000 miles on it...

new GM SERTA tranny at 98,000 miles...

also has had replaced: ISS twice.. both front wheel hubs.. both front axle assemblies... new steering rack... power steering hose... battery... plugs... wires... mobil 1 oil and mobil 1 oil filters... gas constantly has to get replaced! must have a leak...

That's not AWFUL for 110K imo, could be worse on this platform lol.

Keeping the Monte so the next car will be a 2nd. Kind of up in the air.
Want: 70-72 Monte Carlo
I LOVE the 2012 volvo s60 R design AWD... but it starts at 42.5 ouch.
I'll probably also look at wrx, evo, G35, G8, TL...

 

-2006 Monte SS
-Bought with 55k and just hit 81k
