they said in three months they should have there first one , and guess what color ,,,,,,
,,,,,, ah suspence,,,,,,,,,, white , so i gave them my info and i told them that the second that they get it on the tow truch to call me and ill fill out the paper work , so not long now

 

how can they have it in 3 months if its going to be a mid 08 model? I wouldnt trust that info

 

LOL! Dealers will tell you anything, and yet people are still stupid enough to buy into the hype.

 

Yeah...dealers are GAY! Except when they sell you a car you really want...then they are pretty cool.

********.

 

Dealers Will Tell You Anything To Get You Back. Trust Me I Work At A Dealership............ Its Corupted

 

i would not believe that info at all...especially since all the details havent even been confirmed, you think they'll throw it together in 3 months?

 

You might wanna tell them its gonna more like 6-7 months , no sooner

EVERYBODY knows more than the dealer

 

lol i talked to a sales person at a dealer that i know well and he said MAYBE march but probably not till april.

and thats at the biggest dealer in WA so they would be one of the first up here to get the new ss/tc

 

My dealer knew nothing about a Cobalt Turbo......... So at least yours is caught up on the news......... Im going to take my tax check and put that down towards the SS/tc. Hopefully by then they will be at least taking orders for them.

 

They will have an 08 HHR SS in 3 months, but i bet it will be June before a dealer can get a LNF Cobalt

 

I thought they said 2nd quarter of 08 is the release. It's already the FY08 1st quarter. That would mean Jan-Mar. I'm guessing late March. ????

 

its gonna be released about the same time the 05's were i bet

 

err AFAIK it's currently Q4 of 07...
If you trust the statements from the GM press release the car could start appearing at dealers anytime between April 1 and June 30 2008 (Q2)
WOT

 

ya i worked at this dealer for a while , i spoke directly to the owner , so i guess ill have to post pics around january ,

and washington and california are two very different states

 

I went to my dealer as well, we've got something set up. I should have mine in mid-end February.

The reason they are able to get them in 3 months is because GM failed to put in their press conference notes that it will be availabe in FYQ2. The dealership told me that GM FYQ1 starts November 1st. So.. that means Nov/Dec/Jan is Q1, and Feb/Mar/Apr is Q2.

According to the information I read on the screen of the GM pages at the dealership (the order pages they look up when ordering new cars) it says that these cars are available for 'pre-order' as of the 29th of October, (as in, this past Monday). According to the sales manager (the person I'm dealing with for this, as a close friend of mine used to work for him and he hooked me up when I bought my current SS/SC) if they are available for 'pre-order' that usually means a 3-4 month turn around on arrival.

 

Local dealership where i bought my vette was more then happy to take my deposit on a Black SS stripper with G85 as the only option.

 

Dealerships are stupid. Awhile back I remember looking at an 06 SS/SC and they pulled it out and brought it up front me and such, and I swear to God, the guy gets out of the car, looks at me and says, "Man, this SS is sure nice. Isn't it turbocharged with like 300 horsepower?"

I will never set foot at Freeway Chevrolet again.

Dumbasses.

Point in case, don't listen to what dealers have to say about anything.

 

I agree with you completely that salesman are absolute ******* tools. And I'm not going to say that I went in there and they even knew what the **** I was talking about.

I went into the dealership, told them I wanted to trade up, and the guy looked at me like I was stupid and said "Why would you want to go from that to a Sport?" I laughed, and said, no I want what's not available for another 6 months.

He gave me a confused look, and we went to his desk. Sat down and I started to talk about the cars features that were announced on Saturday. He was digging through GM reference pages and backend websites they get their info from. While I'm talking about the car, he interupts me and continues reading off the features list as his eyes grow wider and wider. By the end of it, his jaw had dropped and he said "That's going to be a fast car...."

Anyway, story book aside... after all that, he turned his monitor around, and started showing me all the information they had on the car at this point (it was extremely slim-nill) as it was just announced. What he was able to find was the listing for a "260hp 2.0L Turbocharged Cobalt 2008 Coupe" which had it's order date listed as "October 29th, 2007"

Needless to say, he has asked me to come back at the end of the week, and he's going to do what he can to get information on this car by then. So, I'm going back Friday, and hopefully the dealings will start to be finalized.

 

I can't wait for all the SS/SC part out's. I need a CAI lol.

 

Yeah, mid-08 means March/April. Put it this way the 05 SS/SC was "mid-05" It didn't go into production until late Feb/early March, late March I believe is when the first one rolled off a dealer lot.

 

Any idea on a price range for the SS/TC?

 

I thought they said right around $23-24k. I'm guessing it will go for just over what the SS/SC went for, but give it time it'll drop after the inital push. The SS/SCs came out in March of 05, in June of 05 I walked out w/mine for $19,600

 

My fully loaded 07 was 24,700 So maybe it would be that with no G85 or xm or anything

 

Yea, it is a mid year release as other said. However if it does come in white I am so sold on the damn thing. that's what I wanted for this one.

Only problem is I hope the seats look better in person, on the pictures they look....i dunno, kinda tacky.

 

Agreed Lol.
