Its official. After 2 years of admiring the SS/SC, I have finally put a deposit on one.

I found an 05 with only 5100 miles on it! Its super clean (only one small door ding) and heres the best part....


I got it for only 15,500!!! Book value was 18,500. What a steal! And 5100 miles... thats like a brand new car still!

I'm so exited!! Im sure you guys remember the feeling.

Pics this weekend!

 

which dealership? I know a kid that just traded his in like last week

 

Sweet! Have fun: I just hope your name isn't an indication of whats to come.

 

Nice, congrats! I just picked up an 06 with 8000 miles on it 10 days ago...I love it!!

 

It was actually from a private seller.

 

Oh Ok

Friday night we're meeting up at DPA if you want to meet some of the local balt owners... don't know how many will be out, but I know a few will..

 

Hopefully I will have picked up the car by then... i would def like to come out and meet you guys. If not this weekend then def next time. Where on DPA do you guys meet?

 

in the apple bees lot

 

Got a question. Unfortunately the previous owner smoked in the car. He claims that he does it rarely, and always with the wondows open, sunroof pooped up... the smell isnt too strong but is definitely there. Any tips as to how to get rid of the smell? Febreeze the carpets/headliner and drive around with the windows open?

 

febreeze... or leeve the windows open for a while

 

is that stifflers car paul?

Letting you know right now your ass will be in to the dealer for a lot of stuff on the 05's. nothing major but they will be anoying if they werent fixed by the previous owner.

 

Awesome ^! I will never forget the feeling because my 06 rally yellow G85 Cobalt SS/SC was my B-day present for myself. Its a great feeling, congrats on the badass price!

 

such as? recalls? or just minor annoyances?

 

well notthing annoys me but dont go by my example but im up to 22 grand in warrenty work on my 05 with labor included. Dealership loves me

 

darksun = warranty warrior... how many months total was your car laid up for? lol

I don't think stiffler sold his privatly... I think he traded it in for the POS auto 350Z (damn overgrown 280 lol) I"ll call the readheaded colbalt destroyer and find out though

 

I got my car on june 08 2005 and have owned it for a total of a 1 year and 9 months and its been at the dealer for 9 months total and something like 10-12 differnt visits

 

Congrats on the car ....not all the 05 are problem cars . Im up to 47K miles , mine for the most part has been problem free . 0 mechanical problems , a couple electrical problems , and few cosmetic issues .

Enjoy

 

Mines so bad cause i drove the Living **** out of it. but it acutally held up pretty well

 

Man, I have to say though, test driving this car has scared the **** out of me. Is there any way to resist temptation and drive this thing at a normal speed? I'm juust not into killing myself

 

nope man... thats why I only take it out on weekends.. anything below 80 feels too slow

 

you guys still going there. Last time I went (long time ago) i didn't see one balt.

 

I"ve been up there every friday except maybe 2 or 3 ... I should be there this friday.. just waitin to hear on this chick

 

Well i guess ill have to start getting down there again. I went a few times last april, only a few balts then. How many are their now?

 

not many balts... mostly SRT's most of the loyal balts traded in or blew up.... cept me of course,,, but I"ve been rockin the lincoln up there to put a scare into the mustang guys..

 

haha, yeah sometimes I scare them off with the Z06. Starting in may Im gonna be rockin the monte. That thing is so f-ing loud you'll hear me from the LIE.
