supreme_style21 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I've been emailing with someone who is interested in trading an 02 Monte Carlo LS with 152k on it for my 98 Camaro with 117k on it. I'm normally afraid of higher mileage like that, but it sounds like it's been a long distance highway cruiser. I haven't looked at the car in person yet. Wanted to see what some common things were to look for with the Montes before I make the trip to check this one out. I've been reading that the most common things (or most expensive to deal with) are some valve body in the transmission that sticks, electrical problems with flickering headlights and a clunking in the steering knuckle. Is the clunking something that can be safely ignored? That is, if this one has it. Do the trans problems show themselves all the time? Sporadically? After warm-up? The headlight issue, is this sporadic? I've read that this one most often requires the BCM to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Best car I ever had had over 200,000 miles on it. That said, I'm not too sure about super-specifics like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
