Ultimately, YOU are the only one that can make the final decision. You say that you like all Montes. So any way you go, you are going to be proud of your car because it is YOUR car. We can each give our own input as to the year that is the "best". As you can see, the choices vary as much as the people do. First of all, look at your pocketbook or the pocketbook of the person paying for the car. That will give you an idea of the range of years you can get. Secondly, look around your area to see what is available. You've probably heard this more than once: "don't buy the first thing you see". To some degree there is truth to this. However, you may be driving along and see one and you just "know" that is the car meant for you. In conclusion, regardless of the year Monte you get, you are going to please some people and not please some people. Just read the other answerers and you will see this. Get what YOU want. Not what someone else here WANTS YOU to get. Happy motoring!

I would recommend getting a 1970-77 Monte Carlo, my mother used to own a '76 Monte Carlo and it was a very reliable car and it had alot of miles on it when we've owned it.

Go for the older mid 80's Monte Carlo's. Aim for an SS. The true SS have a great resell value, are cheap to repair and they are awesome to drive. I owned a 86 SS T-tops and this was probably my all time favorite car. Good luck with your search and have fun with your car!!

Well I like them all too!!! I am partial to the mid 80's SS models. My Dad bought an 87 Aero Coupe and had a frame off restoration done. The interior is mint, he just had a Jasper carte engine (350) with 300 HP installed. All he needs to do now it get tires. It is white with the red SS on the sides. I like the new ones too.

AHHH,,, A 1972 Monte, jet black with stock chrome rally rims, 350 4-barrel and swivel bucket seats and tinted windows. A ride with style and attitude :) :)

get a classic. it will be easier to work on, has fewer "NEW" gadgets to go wrong and cost a fortune to fix and the insurance is lower since most will only provide liability on an old car.
however, if you do get an old one, make sure the motor gets rebuilt, the tranny gets rebuilt, and it has a good body and interior.
if you put money into it, many insurance companies will increase the types and amounts of coverage, especial;l if it's liscenced as a classic or antique car. also, you'll be ablt to sell it to a collector for top dollar.

I would prefer a new one to an older one. One of the reasons why is because if you are not mechanically inclined it will nickle and dime you to death.A new car although more expensive to buy done come with a warranty. The older cars around the mid west are prone to rusting / body rot.

Newer Models will save you more money.

The classics are always better.. new cars are not made like the classics.. plus computer engine controls suck.
