i found a 05 yellow ss/sc with 29,xxx miles on it at the dealership for $18,795. but i know someone there and i can get it for $16,000. now im new to the whole cobalt scene.. well my g.f drives a reg cobalt ss silver... but i see u guyz saying like ss/sc g85.. whats the g85? type of supercharger? and how long does the supercharger last? i also know im buying the stage 2 asap..... i currently own a 2004 orange svt focus with alot of mods. also what is ur guyz insurence like.. im 20yrs old so i hope it aint to high.. thx guys all the info will be appreciated.

 

spend the extra 1 or 2 thousand and get a brand new one...

the G85 is basically LSD and recaro seats i think...

 

The g85 package refers to the package that comes with a LSD (limited slip differential), and in the 2005, 2006, and early 2007 models it comes with Recaro seats, and matching door inserts. The supercharger is an Eaton M62. Insurance is a b*tch. It is pretty high, not going to lie man.

 

I wouldn't pay more than 14k for that many miles on a sports car. You should be able to get a new one for about 22k-23k though. Honestly though, if you are looking around for a 15k car try to find an srt4 that was not modded. Flame war.... BEGIN.

 

Dude or try and find a Saturn Ion Redline. Pretty much the same car still supercharged can still get recaro's and boost guages, but insurance runs as a 4-door because of the 2 lil suicide doors on it. Check that out too.

 

get an AWD or evo x if $ is not a problem

look im 8 post away from being a senior member. sorry to hijack thread

 

Or WRX STI.

Even used they can be picked up for the same price range

 

Just rember on any used sports car, don't buy it if it has been modified in any way. You don't know what the previous owner did to it.

 

Get a Cobalt SS/SC, you will not be sorry. It's alot faster and better quailty than a focus. Good luck man.

 

well i found out the previous owner was a 45yr guy that traded it in for a vette

 

On your test drive take it to a mechanic you know, and have him look. Since you've done a lot of your own mods, I'm sure you have a feel for the look of the car.
Chances are the guy was using it for a daily driver - not sure why he'd now choose a vette for a daily, but wahtever.

 

Yeah, buy the SS/SC I traded my 05 reg cobalt in after 11 months for the SS/SC and love it, and yes the G85 is a limited slip, and recaro seats (which is worth the money by the way!)

 

Most of your questions were answered ....reliablity of the blower ? My car has 47,000 miles and have been shifting the car at 7200 for a lil over a year now . No blower problems . Smaller pullies 2.5/2.6 use water injection to keep it nice and cool .

You guys are gonna HATE me ...being 33 , the insurance on the SS is $290 every 6 months . The Cobalt in ANY trim should be on the lower end of typical sport compacts insurance premiums .

 

test drive it. before u think bout buyin it. i cud of seen that person beatin the crap out of the car. go over it in depth.

 

I just turned 20 and have 3 points on my license and JUST got a ticket for doing 33 over and have insurance through AAA for $144 a month.

 

wow i wish i was only paying 144 for insurance! ahah i pay closer to $400-$450 Cdn for mine..... im also 17 tho

 

I know of two new 06 SS/SC's sitting on dealer lots in Atlanta...one in particular I think you can get for around $17000-$18000, since it has around 1800 miles on it...been sitting on a dealer lot since Nov 2005. I would not pay the price you mentioned. Use www.gmbuypower.com to do a search. Search on my id if you need more info on the silver SS/SC w/G85...
