Re: Why should I buy a Montana?
The first problem that jumps out is the fact these three GM vans (Venture, Montana and Silhouette) have the same 3.4L engine with a LIMG (lower intake manifold gasket) fault.
Regardless of mileage they can start to leak coolant into the oil pan ths causing damage to bearings, crankshaft journals, etc.
IF this leak is caught IMMEDIATELY, and the gaskets replaced, oil and filter replaced and coolant changed there is a 50/50 chance of saving the engine.
One clue to a leak starting internally is having the coolant disappearing from the reservoir and the oil turning a light brown milky color.
Aside from the usual problems like corroded wiring connections in door switches (For power windows, locks, etc.) the rocker panels tend to rust out prematurely.
I had a 2000 Silo and have been there, done that.
