I am trading in my 2006 cobalt ss n/a for a saturn ion redline this week. I hate my cobalt

(just because of the problems) but i am going from paying $300 a month for 4 years with a

lease to paying $404 a month for 6 years without a lease, is that a good deal? i just need

opinions before i actually get it.


thanks

 

so by the end of your contract you'll be paying over $29,000 for a saturn? that should pretty much answer your question.

 

id rather pay 300 for 4 years rather then 400 for 6 years if that answers ur question.

 

30,000 for a redline... does that come with a "hummer machine"

 

i understand completely...but i really need to get rid of this car...and i dunno what to do because its lease. If i keep it, im not going to drive it because its that bad.

 

hey man if it doesn't bother you then go for it

 

go somewhere like swapalease.com or something like that...Or find someone to take over your lease...

 

Thats alot to pay... and I'm biased...

 

 

What is wrong with the Cobalt? And do you expect the Ion to be significantly better?

 

yeah, i'm curious too on what exactly is wrong w/ it to make you consider getting a $30k saturn.

 

If you're having a bunch of 'fit and finish' issues, you're not gonna be any happier in the Redline, if you're having mechaincal issues, you might be better off moving to a newer car, and the '07's all have 100,000 mile warranties.

My Redline has been good over all. I road race with it, and drag race with it, the only things that ever went wrong with it was the starter and the intercooler pump. THat's 30,000 miles now...

However, to pay $30k when you can find '06s on lots for $19k without a discount.... is kinda nutty...

 

the saturn itself isnt $30,000...its actually in the 19 range but the rest is interest and the

rollover from my cobalt.

So either way whatever i do is going to kill me.

I would like to get a 2007 cobalt ss s/c but all the chevy dealers tell me is that they would

have to add on all my payments that i have left to my payments which would be $10000

more. I DEFINATELY CANNOT STICK IT OUT WITH THIS CAR!


I have never done anything to my cobalt as in mods and its hardly driven anymore

because i bought a beater because of the problems...The CEL light comes on every other day,

none of the dealerships around here can figure it out, i have major brake problems, it stalls

when im driving sometimes at school it wont start, then when im driving home it will tell me to

service airbags and tells me i have low fuel and actually don plus most of the lights are on such

as ABS....theres more i just cant think of them right now.

 

may want to investigate into the lemon law

 

uhh can i ask wat the differnece from a cobalt and the ion redline will b? they r the exact like practically car

 

dude, you got a lemon. file all the necessary paperwork and get a new car.

 

dealership told me i couldnt....but how do i go on doing this?

 

its GM, not the dealerships. of course they say you cant, **** them. you fill out the paperwork and i believe it goes to GM.

 

Pay more than your monthly payment and the monthly mark will go down. Because you've still got money to pay on the Cobalt, you're going to get reamed, but if it's giving you so many problems, you don't have much of a choice. However, I would look into lemon laws in your state before trading for the Ion.

 

Exactly.

ok, this is what the saturn dealer gave me

Cost for redline- $19095

Buy out for my car- $18,405

What they think my car is worth-$12,800

Fees- $202.50

Taxes- $550.81

all together for 72 months it would be- $404.96

 

this doesnt apply for new york

 

If you had read the link that DC52NV posted, you would notice a link for other states at the bottom that would send you here: http://www.lemonlawfirm.com/ for NY State.

Good luck!

And yes, even though the list on the Redline you are looking at is 19k, after the loan is done you would have actually payed 30k for a Saturn...no way. I would look into the lemon law first and see about getting a new SS/NA or at least getting them to man up and fix your problems. Have you contacted GM Customer Care regarding the problems you are having?

 

Or he could pay 30k for another SS/SC?

who cares that it's a 'saturn', ti's the same freaking car bassically!

I'm not trying to start a flame war, but it annoys me when people say it's 'just a saturn'.

he could be paying the same ammount for 'just a cavalier replacment'.

I like the Cobalts, and the Ions, they are both Delta's with the same damn powertrain, so lay off the saturn!
