Posting on an epic hydro thread.....

 

I see more 2.4 SS and SC/SS on the road than the SS/TC cars.
So it would be wise to hold onto your SS/TC

 

This,

How many X11 Citaion's did Chevy build? EXACTLY.

not saying it wont be worth anything, but i wouldn't "Pickle" your cobalt in hopes of cashing out.

 

old thread but makes sense to me,

 

X2 I see sc's all the time and only seen 2 tc's. I always see a sc running by my work its red and has a black trunk.

 

I was hoping he would be back

 

haha and he still has 15% activity

 

wow this thread blew up on me too...... alot more atten then i figured it would get.........

ladies and gents, there is one factor here we all know to be true and it has been said many times over... we have no clue what the future brings on any cobalt desirability.... there have been many cars in the past that have exceeded any dreams of a high return... i have to agree with dude411, it is not a smart investment....


however as a guy who lost a rare sc balt i wish to god ever day that i still had that car back.... i know what your thinking "a rare sc balt"? yes there were rare sc balts, in fact i had one that was 1 of 22 if i remember correct with very small options considered..... with the simple options as g85, color, and destination that was the production # on my old car.... soundjunky will vouch for this claim.... now i own a run of the mill sc black with unfavorable production numbers.... as riceburner said, i will never sell this car.... i dont care if it becomes desirable in the future.... this car puts a smile on my face everyday i drive it.....

i feel the guys who have a low production run car like the yellow sedan tc should honestly put them away.... i believe it could be in thier best interest for the future.... lets face it even if you spent 25 000 to get 25 000+ in 10-50 years from now, that is better then a kick in the *****.... if something happened to that rare production # car you will regret everyday that car is gone..... trust me i am one of those guys.... do i loose sleep over it? hell no.... but still i wish that car was not written off....

 

yeah lol

 

this is such BS... I own one of those "rare production sedans" (1 of 36 btw, second rarest is red), and I'll be darn if I'm going to let production numbers keep me from enjoying the car and competing in it the way it was built to be driven. Its nice owning due to the rarity factor (as very few people know about them, and its a killer sleeper!) but you cant let that get to your head and just baby the car and keep it under a cover its whole life. whats the fun in that?

People who ever consider a car an investment are rr-tard

 

id still trade my TC for a older 4 door if I had the chance! Love the 4 doors haha

 

You guys are only considering the Cobalt itself with respect to the future value. What really effects the value is whether or not another production car comes along that is much more desirable and still in the same price-range. If Chevy somehow came out with a 3000 lb, AWD, hatchback with 350hp, at around 22K, these old Cobalts wouldn't be worth the weight in plastic they're made with. With current tech advancements, I don't see any old cars holding their value. It would be like thinking that a Japanese sportbike will hold its value. The reason they don't is because there is a tech advancement almost every year on those.

 

Reason why you should sell your cobalt = FWD + Torque Steer

/Thread

 

we all know we're all gonna sell our cobalts for evo's

that's the cool thing to do

 

You all are not going to get Barrett Jackson money from a Cobalt 30 years from now. Excellent shape Syclones, Typhoons, and Stealth TTs most of the time fetch half of what they sold for new. Those are more rare and desirable cars also. So just enjoy them and take care of them, but don't expect to be making a big pay day from one later on

I'd say my car possesses my gas pedal foot, I agree %100!

lol, I forgot about that...

 

Fight Club FTW!

i also own a rare cobalt.

 

Too much arguing jumbo jumbo on here but... I'm a proud new owner 1 of 474 2009 Cobalt SS's and has the factory LSD option whoop whoop. Don't plan on selling it either just like my 48 Chevrolet 3100 and 78 Formula 350 (LM7 swapped) Firebird they won't be sold. On the other hand the 93 Subaru Legacy w/240+K miles will be driven into the ground

 

Cobalts will never hold value, simple fact they are an economy sportish car..

THEY WILL NEVER HOLD VALUE, not even lower number sedans. Praise jesus if you like it ain't gonna happen.

Once you buy a cobalt it's already a loss so drive the **** out of it and love every second of it.

 

For me it's worth it to keep it not for the value, not for hoping that one day I can sell it at a good price, but just to have a car that others don't have

 

Meh. It's still just a Cobalt.

 

I know it's just a Cobalt, but it gives me a lot of fun and I never see others on the street. I know it's worth crap, but you want to compare the satisfaction when people look at it wondering what car it is,expecially since it is fully debadged?
