AutoCheck shows that early in its live the car had a couple of accidents. In 2005 its appears to have a salvage title and then a rebuilt title in 2005 and 2007. The owner I purchased from owned since 2007. He stated that he was told the vehicle had been stolen and sat around waiting to be rebuilt. It appears to me that the at least the doors and trunk lid have been replaced from a red Monte. Some red paint showing around edges. List of issues: Transmission doesn't always shift. I had filter and fluid replaced but didn't help. Drives best in third. I can drive it around the block but don't trust it for much further. Valve cover gaskets need replaced as they leak some and smoke off engine. Exhaust is noisy really loud but not sure where leak is. When you rev engine oil pressure gauge fluctuates. Battery drains we put disconnect on negative side put still sometimes drains. Air conditioner doesn't work. Automatic door locks don't work fuse blows so it is out which also affects air bag (air bag light is on) I believe there is a short somewhere. Paint chips on hood. Rear spoiler has some damage on driver's side. Engine missing cover. I don't know how to verify if this is original engine. Driver's seat side air bag shows through tear in seat. Front tires have about 5500 miles on them. Rear tires are ok. AS IS AS IS AS IS
