02 monte SS - reliable?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So i'm really considering a 02 Monte SS, and before i get too far into this i would like to know if there are any major issues with these cars as far as reliability goes. i need something that i can depend on, and not have to dump alot of money into. I know nothing's a sure bet, but i don't want a car prone to problems. any input would be appreciated. thank you.

they're pretty solid vehicles. The 3.8 is less prone to intake gasket issues, and the tranny is pretty good. I was looking at SS's for myself.

100K? A cars ability to flash over 100000 on the odometer is no real indicator of the reliablilty. those cars could have been repaired many times. and of course no one is going to junk a 4 year old car.

over 100k miles when they're 4, 5, 6 years old...i think is a good way to tell. besides...the motor is one of the best ever from gm
