Went through State Inspection today. So got inspected at the dealer today.
And on my State Emission Inspection Report my car is listed as a 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo Cylinders: 6, engine size: 3100.
I found that pretty amusing.
Not sure if this is the only option they could select or if the tech picked wrong. At least it passed.
So I have had the car for a full year now.
23,900 miles later and a few small annoying issues at first. But I am still very happy with the car.

I think mine is the same as a LS. It's like Monte Carlo LS/SS or something.
There is no LS/SS trim. They are separate trims.
And even if it was the LS engine for 06-07 is a 3.5 not a 3.1.
The monte has not "sported" the 3100 since 99.

I pay like $20 less for the 07 mcss than the 06 g6 convertible that has a 120/240 deductible. But I have 500/500 on the monte. Similar miles and blue book probably.
Insurance sucks to figure out. Let's make a thread to see who pays the most or maybe not...

Damn I pay $314/month for both cars which equals about $3800 per year. 
However, my T/A is my primary vehicle (not by choice) and its listed as a high risk vehicle and I'm also a high risk driver due to a few tickets and such. 
Plus my area has a VERY high auto theft rate. I miss my old Nova, it was like $35/month.

Same here...at first they only had an option for S/C'd V6 or basic, so I chose the S/C'd version.
I went from paying $1600 for comp, collision, and liability in my '96 Explorer to a quote between $1700-$1800 for a new LTZ or SS with the same company. I ended up buying the SS and letting that policy with NY Central Mutual expire shortly thereafter. Before it expired, I got a quote from Geico that showed $1400, so I planned the switch on the exp. date of the old policy. When I entered all my info to buy the policy, including the fact that I drove to work every day (which i intentionally left out in the original $1400 quote), and including 4+ year old speeding tickets that I forgot to add initially, the price dropped to $900/yr ($450/6mos)
. I bumped up the liability & prop damage to the max, lowered the comp deductible to $250, kept the coll. at $500, and it came to a whopping $1000 annually. I was only 25 (with bad credit) when I got the SS in '05. I think I pay around $900 now for full coverage on the SS and basic (max) liability on a '99 Escort ZX2.

I pay just under $1100 for the year for full coverage. I'm 24 and I have good credit and only have had one speeding ticket and one collision with a deer a few years ago. When I first got the car when I was 23 (didn't have the speeding ticket at the time) it was almost $1800 for the year. It dropped to what it's at now after I turned 24 and had to renew my policy. I'd prefer it to be a little under $1000 but I haven't really taken the time to get a quote anywhere else.
