Default 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.

Too bad the insurance company didn't make the same mistake.

I think mine is the same as a LS. It's like Monte Carlo LS/SS or something.

What do you mean by that?
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.

Gotcha!!!
Mine is Listed just as a MC coupe no trim specified on the policy.
But wonder if on their end they see trim and specs based on the VIN.

He only asked me if it was supercharged when I transferred it from my old car. Maybe they only hit you hard if it's super/turbo charged.

My insurance policy has my trim listed as SS and then they have a PERFORMANCE rating and mine is listed as "premium."

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...

Approx $380 for 6mo on the g6 and $360 for 6mo on the monte.

Not bad considering the repair costs some of you have racked up.

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.

750 a year for me. I have a 1996 Grand Am GT listed as my primary driver and if you give me five minutes I might actually be able to find the keys for it.

i got my Monte back in 2005... it was out before the insurance company had any info on the new ones, so they used the 05 info... my reg and insurance info say Monte Carlo SS v6 coupe lol....

my insurance only went up $50 going from an 02 v6 minivan to the 06 Monte SS... hehe

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.
