Just bought a 2009 Cobalt SS Turbo (4 door)

Hello All

I'm a new owner of a 2009 Summit White 4 Door Cobalt SS 4 door.

With the change in our family situation, my wife recently purchased a Ford Escape Limited, leaving a Chrysler Pacifica Limited that I owned, with no real use to us. This gave me the opportunity to remove the Pacifica from our fleet so that I could get something else to drive (manual, no Auto). You guys that know me, know that I'll hardly every drive it. :wah?!:

Agenda was to find a small performance car for under $25G's (CANADIAN DOLLARS). It boiled down to either a used 2008 Caliber SRT4 or a brand new 2009 Cobalt SS (4 door). Chrysler had no available rebates on the 09 SRT4, but did have low interest rate financing. GM on the other hand, had 0% financing (with stipulations, front the cost for tax and any deficit on your trade), or bank financing with GM $4000.00 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) cash rebate. In the end, I got this SS for just over $23G's (CANADIAN DOLLARS) and paid tax only on the difference between my trade and this car. For an extra $15.00 per payment (CANADIAN DOLLARS), I got a 7 year 60k km warranty. I figured, might as well, because it's cheap insurance, and it is a bumper to bumper warranty for 7 years.

Here's a couple of pics from this evening, as it stood outside the dealer showroom. As it stands, it's one of the only white Cobalt SS 4 doors in our province. (Was the only one listed in GM's Inventory)

Very good choice. I'm starting to like the 4 doors even more now, especially in white!

Heh, yeh, the Contours needed extended warranties, especially with all of the little things that failed with them later in life.

FYI, I won't be needing winter tires, since I will going under a car cover, for now. I'm sure you will see me more when the weather gets better.

Thanks all. I do plan to do something with the tails and headlights. I also like the look of the dark wheels.

I'll post the pics in the official Summit White thread. In the mean time, here are a couple pics of the other cars, 2004 Dodge SRT4 and 1998.5 Ford Contour SVT.

I see a theme in your other cars, silver, CF, and gunmetal. I really like your taste man, given the contour isn't exactly the most attractive, car, it looks good, clean and respectable.

Thanks All. I know I am new to this community, but I have a couple of friends (maybe here on this forum) that have SC'd SS's. I have always liked these cars, and I am very happy to own one now too.

I will ensure that I mod this one tastefully as with my other cars. I'm not into the really crazy and wild stuff, but I do like to mod cars.

Thanks.

Just curious, but are there many owners here, from Ontario, Canada? I'm going to have to find out where the meets are located.

Just click on the "Regional" section near the top of the page and then click on Ontario and you will find LOTS of threads for your area of Canuck Land.

Welcome!
