2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Ss Coupe 3.8l Clean! on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:38780
Location:

Smells good, looks good, runs perfectly. This was owned by an elderly friend of mine in San Diego. He was a very cautious man and was meticulous in caring for his car. This was garaged and covered for its entire life there. When he passed away, I inherited the car. Since I have owned it, it has also been garaged the entire time. I also drive very cautiously because I have a computer that tracks how I drive. In order to save money, I have to start slow and stop slow. This all means that the car has been driven gently for its entire life. These are the cars that last forever, not the ones driven by some teenager with the pedal to the metal (either gas or brake) all the time.

I have all the service records as proof that it has been taken care of properly. Besides replacing the radiator cap (a $10 fix), I have not had any issues whatsoever. Tires are good with lots of tread left. It has never been smoked in, never had kids in it, no spills, no stains, etc. 

The inside and outside are extremely clean and well taken care of. In full disclosure, I have included pictures of two spots on the car that are less than perfect. One is a small area on the back right corner, maybe a half-inch in length, where paint was scraped off (no dent). The other is a little divot on the inside of the passenger door. Both of these can be fixed for $100 or less if it matters to you.  Other than that, it is in near perfect condition.  That being said, it is 10 years old, and I'm sure there is some scuff or minor scratch that I haven't seen.  I have done my best, however, to disclose any imperfections.

It has plenty of power (200 hp to be exact - it is the SS version), but is decent on gas. I get 30 straight highway and 21 straight city.

It has power windows/lock/mirrors, sliding sun roof, radio controls on the steering wheel, and alloy wheels. V6 3.8L engine. Everything is clean under the hood.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
