I am looking into buying a '06 Cobalt SS/SC, 6100 miles, silver, performance package, no sunroof, stage 2, gmpp exhaust. Guy wants 19,500 for it, please post if you think this is a good deal, or what I can try to get him down to for a good buy. Thanks!

 

I think 19500 is pretty high. Granted it has mods on it, thats the way the market goes...you don't get much back of what you put into it. I priced this out on Edmunds and it says the Private Party Sale would be $18,291. Thats 1,209 less than he is asking. He has MAYBE 900 inbetween the Stage 2 and exhaust (2.25" exhaust by the way). So take half of what he put into it (est $450). I would say $18,740 would be fair.

 

I thought the GMPP exhaust was 2.5 inch? I thought they run 2.5 inch stock. Yeah, I asked him 18,500 but he really didnt bite. Said he had about 1000 into it. The guy that ownes it is actually a parts manager for a Chevy dealer. I think he will go 19,000, but I dont know how low I should go. I am going to go look and test drive the car tonight. I had my mind set on getting a black one, but if i can get a good deal on this one, I will probably take it.

 

Yeah, everyone thought it was a 2.5", but in reality its only a 2.25"

 

bump, any other thoughts?

 

18,700 sounds fair, if he doesn't take it, look elseware.

 

bump

 

just buy a new one for a little more.

 

Yeah tell him you will stick with your original plan and buy new, unless he can bump it down a bit so that you can save money. That is why you would buy a used car, to save money. Up to you man. Make him an offer.

 

Don't forget, new might mean higher sticker, but lower monthly payment because it is new and 0% financing

 

I think 19500 is a great deal...thats like 5000 off new price (well what I paid anyways...) i spent 950 on stage 2 and installation alone...

 

+1

Good Luck

 

Ha! Thats a rip! Are you telling me new cars don't lose over $1000 in value just by titling it out and driving it off the lot! You are out of your mind!

 

I am leaving here in about 15 minutes to go check it out. If he wont wakt 19k for it, Im not gonna take it. I test drove a new SS, I want to see what this stage 2 is all about. I will let you know how things go. Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.

 

I think $19k is a fair price. Not a steal, but a good price.

 

Do not buy a used sports car with performance mods.

NEVER EVER unless it is like stealing from a blind man and leaves you feeling guilty.

He put performance mods on it.

I don't care if it is 20 miles on the car. He drive those WOT around corners HARD SHIFTING the entire way.

If he wants you to buy it take it to a mechanic and have him make sure this thing is in MINT condition first.

 

Well they are all mods that are covered under warranty...

 

you guys are CRAZY i just got an 06 SS/Sc with 350 miles fully loaded (without g85) for 20,799 and they wanted 24,300 you should get that thing for like 17,000 stage 2 and exhaust is only 1000 dollars i would buy a new cobalt with UNDER 500 miles and then put stage 2 and better exhaust this dude probably doesnt even have a way of measuring knock PLUS WHY IS HE SELLING IT ???????? 6000 MILES THATS PRETTY NEW I KNOW I WOULD NEVER SPEND 22000 on a car and sell it after 6000 MILES HES FUC*** it up or something i had a gtp with 4 grand in the engine i sold it bc something was messed up and it would be too much to fix rather than just buying a new car

 

Well I test drove it. Man, it does run good. That stage 2 does make a big difference. The guy said he has 2 kids, that is why he wants to get rid of it. I looked it over good, it looks in excellent shape. I notice 1 small nick in one of the wheels, thats it. Besides that, it is awesome. I wont get it unless he takes 19,000 for it. Any more and I am looking elsewhere.

 

I'd say $19k is good. Many on this thread seem to think people should give them away.

 

19k is a good asking price, if the seller goes any lower than he is stupid...

tbh i think ur getting a really good deal if u get it for 19k.. you will pay 24k+ if you bought it new and had those mods installed and ****


buy it for 19k-19.5k

 

That was another post on here you guys are dumb cobalts base at 20,400 dealers probably pay 15000 for them and can let them go for anything more than that 6000 miles is a lot and that car should only cost around 17000 AT MOST !!!!!!

 

Ummm....and you're a genius? Also, I'd like yout proof of dealer invoice on these cars for a dealership! Dude, go screw your mom

We did

 

haha your such an idiot what do you think the dealer gets it for 20000 ******* i have 2 friends that own dealerships and they tell me they get there **** for CHEAP probably cheaper than 15,00 just get on cars.com ss/sc 300 miles or so 19,500 you could probably even find one for 18,500 with under 500 miles you guys are getting ****** ripped off if your paying like 24,000 for a cobalt ss/sc sorry to say do some research **** your local dealer or your local individual seller is gonna **** you bye
