If it is a 6th generation you are looking for and something with power I would look at a 2005 with a super charger or the 2006-2007 SS with the 5.3 V8. Mine is not that bad on fuel. I get 22mpg normal driving and when I made the trip to the nationals last year I got 29mpg. The 06 and 07 will be a bit more than 10k. If I were you I would dacide on the color combo that you like and go from there. It sounds like you are not in a rush so that is good. Take your time and keep looking until you find the right one. If you start second guessing yourself on one it's not the right one. Best of luck on your search
Is that your black 07 in the signature? Really nice. 29mpg is very impressive for long distance and the V8 no doubt feels proper. You advised 2005 SS which is a really nice year but it has been harder to locate for sale, over the past months I've seen mostly 2001-2004. As for colour combo at the very least I want an all black SS of any year, but ideally Intimidator or Tony Stewart edition is what I'm keeping my eyes peeled for. People are holding on to these and its rare to even see one on for sale online (plus the prices are insane here...for example 2002 Intimidator with about 10,000 miles going for 17k US). You're right if you second guess on a car it is not for you and even though I love all Monte's the condition/colour/year/price of the car is very important. Thanks for the great advice.
