I plan on buying a Cobalt SS/TC Black on Black on Black
you wont have to worry about the black on black part. the red trim seats are only offered with victory red cobalts and the yellow cobalts are getting the yellow trim seats. no other color is being offered and you cant get them with any other color then victory red or the yellow cobalt ss/tc's.

I think they have a "grey" seat insert, which I do NOT want. It just looks stupid....

oh yeah, forgot about that. I dont think they have any recaro's left. they put the last of the g85 packages with the SS/SC's.

So you might be screwed on that one

shrug....

that is just too much for a sport, GM took advantage of people who knew that was an ex-SS and there was no SS/SC available any more.

Reminds me about GM thinking about selling only a 4 cyl turbo camaro and a v6 camaro version and selling it for more then the Ford GT stang v8

Pretty much none until the car has been out for a while and this is only a limited run of 7,000 to 10,000 a year so not sure.

If you are a Costco member, you can order through the Costco Autobuy program. You get it for the sticker price, or sometimes a tad less, like I did with my 07 2.2L. It had 10 miles, and I walked out the door for only 12,500. A friggin steal if you ask me. KBB still rates it at $8K trade in.

UGH, don't get me started about how we get raped when it comes to price! Wait, I've already started.

Ok, so here it goes. Dealer rationale for the price difference between Canadian and American cars is that despite the par dollar, the car was built at a time when there was a difference in the dollars. So the price of the car here had to reflect that difference in the exchange rate.

However, seeing how the two dollars have been close for a long time now, and considering that the new cobalt has only begun being built since the dollar has been par (or extremely close to it), the price of the car SHOULD be almost exactly the same.

I say SHOULD, but I know we'll continue to get ass-fucked.

If I weren't getting a Zeta Camaro, I'd probably get this. That price is great.

you do realize GM is thinking of making the Camaro a 4 cyl turbo charged and a V6 option only. They are talking about not releasing a V8 version?

I think I might wait 6 months and then get one. By then i can get a better deal. My dad works for GM and gets a great discount. Also they birthday bonus, lol. Well I guess I will just have to wait and see. I am sure they will also put some kind of rebate on the car as well. I would say at least $500, maybe even a $1000. Who knows. I know I might get one if they hold thier value better unlike the current cobalt models.

I already get $500 off for just being in the military. I'm seriously reconsidering what I'm going to get as my next vehicle. Planned on keeping in the SUV/truck ranks, but gas prices keep going up. God damn 12mpg. That 30mpg highway for a turbo 4cyl Cobalt SS is really really enticing. Even I'd be using premium it still would end up being cheaper. 14 gallon(?) tank in the balt, 20 something in the hoe.

I heard about the LNF option, but I'm not sure WHERE you heard, from a reliable source, that a V8 wasn't going to be released. There will be a V8 option and there's talk from the F-body father that it'll be a 525hp Z28 option.

Also ALL GM cars and trucks come with a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, and this was done back in 2006 for the 07+ models before Chrysler unveiled it's lifetime powertrain warranty.

A MazdaSpeed3 with no options is $22,975, the only thing that includes thats optional on the Balt is the limite slip diff, but the TC comes with XM standard, Sirius is only an option on the 3, and they dont even have an OnStar type system available, let alone standard. Also as far as I can tell you cant even get a sunroof on the Speed3. A loaded Speed3 is over $27,400(granted thats with stuff you cant even get on the Balt, but you get the pic.)

First of all Delco doesnt make any of the headunits used in Chevy cars, Delco doesnt make stereos and hasnt for some time now. DELPHI did make the HU for alot of Chevys in the early 2000's but they dont anymore, and Delphi makes some nice stuff, they have aftermarket XM recievers and other products that get sold in Best Buy and other stores under the Delphi name and badged as other brands.
99% of the HU's used today are made by Panasonic or Denso(with some Fujitsus shortly after Delphi stopped supplying) The Cobalt head units are Panasonics, as are most of the ones that look like the Cobalt HU, most of the NAV headunits are made by Denso. And the Pioneer systems only have Pioneer speakers, the HU is still a Panasonic, in fact the only real difference between the unit in my LS and in someones Pioneer equipped Sport/SS is that the face is silver and the audio is a low level output instead a full power signal. They even use the same electrical connectors.

There is no discussion regarding NOT having a V8. There is however as you pointed out, consideration being given to using the LNF as the bae engine.

Pricing from my dealership

23640, INCLUDING destination, LSD ($450) and road-racing-wing ($195) (RRW) options.

Invoice was/is $22793
GMS was/is $21794
Supplier was/is 22768

GMS is obviously the best deal with the $1000/discount - 20794 + 0% if you can pull it off.

Given the low margins it was tough to talk them down, but I'm working on something...

EDIT: As for the $450 for LSD, that's what they told me it cost. I'm not sure about the numbers I'm calling again on Monday...crazy. Anyone have a GMS number I can use :-)

Heheh, guns.

How did your dealership get that detailed pricing? The car isnt even active on the Dealership Employee(GMS) website yet.

Well it doesnt really matter because they are screwing you anyway, the car with those options AND destination is only $23,685. LOL

Well, now that you say that he said the price was with destination. However, after I posted I changed it because the numbers didn't make sense.

22995 - base (includes destination, just forgot about that)
450 - lsd
195 - wing
660 - desty

the MSRP would be $24300, less destination is $23640, which is the price I was quoted, MSRP anyway.

So, where do you get the $23685, would you be kind enough to break it down? Including the discount, if any.

Thanks

JK
