What the Chevrolet Monte Carlo sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Monte Carlo, latest tested year 2007:
The label also prints an estimated $3,450 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 467 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Monte Carlo under Midsize Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Monte Carlo's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1984 to 2007. Worth checking before you compare a Monte Carlo sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 2 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used Monte Carlo sells for now
The label froze the Monte Carlo price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Monte Carlo by model year, from 33 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2006 | 11 listings | |
| 2004 | 10 listings | |
| 2002 | 12 listings |
A 2006 Monte Carlo asks a median $12,500 today, a 2002 about $9,000. Full breakdown on the Chevrolet Monte Carlo value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Chevrolet Monte Carlo
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Monte Carlo, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Chevrolet Monte Carlo all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Chevrolet Monte Carlo whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
