Picking this up tomorrow, Thoughts?

FInally getting an SS after wanting one for so long, and before anyone asks, I did test drive it and didn't feel/see any issues.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/5428228382.html
2009 Cobalt TC
69,000 miles
One owner
Less then 10,000 miles per year.
100% stock.

Seems good to me, and I'm very excited, just wanted some second opinions.

^tried it once, what a ride. Lets stay on topic though. Seems like something to buy. See if it has a limited slip doff though if you want to handle the best.

100% stock doesn't say much, most guys put their cars back to stock when they sell it, so u never know what was on there before you bought it.

well in my defense, thats what it did have on it when I sold it to him. Everything else was stock.

He never asked for mod details, so I didn't tell him. Never offer more info up than you have to

Bought it, car has been good so far. (Only been a week)

Car was 100% stock, dude drove it to and from work (couple miles) only on weekdays. Drove his other car any other time. Was more of a higher class business man, didn't mod anything on it. Loving it so far, just done some small appearance mods so far, looking to do a muffler delete in a couple of days, CAI, and getting it retuned for now.
