***** Low Reserve ***** For your consideration is my Monte Carlo that is in excellent condition, inside and out. Two owners, first my sister, then myself. Always garage kept, never smoked in. Back seats have never been sat in. The finish outside still looks new, and is original, and the interior, leather, and carpet is perfect as well. This car was babied. Back seats fold down to load skis, or long items when necessary. Original sticker price, shown in photo with all options, is $21,019.00. Please review all of the options which are many. My sister drove the car for the first 80,000 miles, and I have driven the remainder since 9/9/2003, which is is 36,000 miles, or about 3,600 miles a year, since I am retired. Of course the car was always well maintained, and even the passenger seat is rarely used. The car rides smooth, and quiet. Steering is right on. The moon roof has two functions, one to flip up in the back as a vent, or to completely slide away under the car roof. Unfortunately, it doesn't slide back, may need a belt replacement, or track adjustment, but the lift function is fine.. Gas gauge is not accurate. I have recently added new tires, (2 Michelins) a new battery, and has an aftermarket security system. However, this aftermarket security may need some attention, batteries in the keychain, etc. the Chevy security system built into the key, and ignition is fine. Frankly I haven't used it in years. I will be listing this car in local newspapers, bulletin boards as well. I reserve the right to pull the listing for any reason at any time, unless a first bid is made. I am sorry, but this is a first come first serve auction. Please use the buy now feature to ensure getting it. I am close to both Philadelphia, and NYC. For those who need it, I do have the original mounting kit for a license plate for the front of the car for a license plate. Please ask any questions you like. This will be the third vehicle i have sold in ebay, notice my 100% positive feedback. A full tank of gas will be provided. This car is even nicer in person, if you would like to see it before you bid, please email me and I would be more than happy to schedule some time. Thank you for looking. On Jul-20-13 at 14:59:13 PDT, seller added the following information: ****update, my listing description mentions a buy it now option which has disappeared since the item received a bid. The buy it now price was $2500, and I am told by eBay that I can negotiate offline and end the item early. This is very odd to me, and it kind of defeats the purpose of an auction and the option to just buy it at $2500. So, to be fair, I will not accept offline offers unless it is $2500.00 to which I will accept, and then remove the listing. I sincerely hope that is okay with anyone who may be participating with this auction. Thank you.On Jul-24-13 at 12:10:35 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a few potential buyers ask if they can fly in to a local airport and pay cash and take the car hundreds of miles back home. This car has been driven just around town for years, and it's been a long time since I drove it further than a hundred miles, especially in the summer heat. I cannot guarantee long travel before a tune up, and two new tires first. I would recommend that if you live hundreds of miles away, that you hire a shipper to get it to you safely. The car runs great, but I am just not sure for a long distance in the summer. If you have questions regarding this note, please ask. Thank You.On Jul-25-13 at 15:07:54 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: I am showing the car locally to several potential buyers on Saturday. I will compare any offers I get in that day with the highest bid on eBay. Please be advised that I may remove the listing Late Saturday night, and apologize for any inconvenience. Thank You.On Jul-27-13 at 16:14:36 PDT, seller added the following information: I showed the vehicle to 2 parties today. I thought the fair thing to do was for them to compete on ebay.
