Before I really knew anything about cobalts or a cobalts ss for that fact I bought my fully loaded 08 lt the dealer I went to had no ss and pushed me into this car so fast which I do love but I really want a ss. I owe 15,200 right now and want a 08 tc . Should I sell it to a private party or attempt to trade it in to a dealer. My main problem is price im 19 and can comfortably pay my 310.00 a month payment for my lt but worry if I get a new tc I would not be able to afford it. My car is in perfect condition tinted the windows and put a 10'' sub in it only has 2000 miles on it. Any suggestions

 

i would have to say to sell private, you will get a lot more then if you trade it in.

 

WoW i thought i was fucked. Private your probably not gonna get what you owe and if you trade u will be in neg on your next ride.

Personally when the time comes for me im gonna just trade it in and take it up the ass cause what ever car i get next im gonna have for a long while........

GL Man..

 

if you cant afford it, and you know you cant afford it, why worry about it.
new cars are a waste of money when your young. hell, they are a waste of money when your older too, but at least you have the financial stability to afford that "waste"
you made the mistake once, why do it again for a more expensive car you know you cant afford???

 

Exactly my thoughts I might just end up having to see if someone will buy it and get a used tc when I can otherwise it looks like im stuck with it not that bad of a loss its still a new car

 

just stick a for sale sign on it and see what you can get

 

My advice...live with it. You're looking at maybe 13-14 if that when you sell it, you'll still owe at least a grand on the financing and then an additional 22-23k (tc is that right?); you're payment will be like 400 and you'll be driving a chevy. For reference in a lot of places you can lease a decent bmw or lexus is for under that.

You made a mistake by financing in the first place without a significant down payment. My redline was fully loaded and the payments are 270/month because I got 0.9% and a decent down payment.

View this as a crash course on how the world works...sorry but that's the case...sometimes you do the screwing but mainly you'll get screwed.

 

Looks like I will have to live with it which is really no problem, ill just pay large payments so I dont get screwed to much on financing and in a couple of years do the right thing.

 

Rethought: You COULD trade it back/sell it and buy a used stage 2 lsj (redline or cobalt ss/sc) they're around 13-14 used with under 20k miles...wouldn't be a t/c but would definitely faster and more lux than the ls.

 

Exacally, i got a NEW car when i was younger and could barley afford it, now that i have a good job i want a more mod'able car but i will shop carefully and forsure not buy brand new.

 

you pay 310 for an ls????? weird. i got a ss/sc and im only throwin away 390 for it. but then again i did get a lil deal on her. id say just wait it out a lil longer and save some cash up. then when ya get it ya can start mods sooner.
