Hey guys I made a previous thread about another cobalt ss but I found this other one. It's at a local dealer and I'm gonna test drive it tomorrow . It's an 09 SS with 16k and their asking $16000. Is this a good deal due to the low miles or is still a bit to much. I know to never pay asking price so what do you guys think I can get the car down too. I do plain on financing it with either a 4 year or 5 loan. is that a good idea, meaning are these decently reliable? Thanks!! Here is the link

Price is way too high like about $4000

 

Does the dealer have any pics of it ?

the link didnt show any.

i would KBB it and see what they say you should pay for it.
-this way you can take the KBB with you and basically say look and haggle that way.


welcome to css by the way. I see your somewhat local in Toms River, i used to have a house down in Lavalette

 

Pretty low clicks, but I probably wouldn't pay 16k for a SS/TC.

 

You guys are straight up a bunch of cheap asses. 16k miles for $16k. That's what I paid for mine. Car was beyond flawless, one owner, never seen salt, factory tires, still had the dealer purchase paper, and **** ton more.

I've seen some around here with 60k miles sell for 17k.

i mean its a good price for such low miles, it would all come down to how good of condition it looks like its in, modded or not and stuff like that.

 

Kbb from a dealer says around 15 from private around 13k

 

then take it to them and haggle .... i mean its a great deal at 16K but if its only worth 15k then why pay more ?

 

Their aren't any pics posted yet. I think it is blue tho and I'm going to test drive it tomorrow and all that. And nice lavalette is nice area

 

16k for that low Kms is good price. Just watch out with those 09s alot of them had porous block.

 

I mean, you'd lose a lot to depreciation though. For the price I got my 08 at I could pretty much get most if not all what I paid for it back if I were to sell it now.

 

Same here. I paid $16.6k for mine with 15k miles last year at a dealer and the car was like new.

 

I wouldn't say a lot of them. In fact that would be inaccurate. I would say more like SOME of them. Don't forger it affected late 08's to early 09's. Really when it comes down to it there are far more that don't have porous blocks then ones that do.

 

Not sure if this a dumb question but what is porous block

 

I paid 14,999. With 83,000kms bone stock from a dealer

 

I wouldn't jump on it right away unless you absolutely have to have THAT car. Manual transmission cars tend to sit on dealer lots for a while because only a small population of people want them, so after a few weeks they will start dropping the price drastically to move it.

I watched my G5GT on craigslist for weeks. Every week the dealer would drop the price $1,000. It started at $11,000 and when it got to $8,000 I went to look at it. When I got there there was a clearance tag in the window for $7,000 because it was on the loit for over 60 days. 5 speed and no sunroof made it undesirable to everyone but me.

 

I paid $16.75k for mine Jan. 29, 2011 ( '09 SS Sedan) with 3,579 miles from a dealer.
There was sales tax and licence fees of $1619.00 on top of that. It had been on the lot
for six months. They were happy to see it go. The car was perfect, except for grooves
in the rear rotors. (Fixed under warranty) I paid cash.

 

Yeah I can probably wait on it since I still sell my current car. 94 non turbo 3000gt if anyone if interested lol.

 

pics of the 3000gt ? price ? milage ?

 

3000gt 1994 price in negotiable.

 

It's the non turbo model with a 3.0 V6 DOHC but it's got FWD and either a 5 speed or auto.

After I posted it refreshed and showed it's a 5 speed and apears to be well taken care of. Still personally wouldn't ever get one that is a non VR-4.

 

i paid(well the loan did) $12k for mine? 09 with 69k on it

they were asking $15,500 in the dealer and $14k online..

 

I agree. I paid like 18k out the door from a dealer almost two years ago. Car had 13k miles and dealer included brand new tires.

 

Haggle on the KBB value. They probably got the car through a trade and gave the previous owner $10k and are selling it for $6000 over what they "paid" for it. I worked at a dealership for a few weeks to learn the B.S. car salesmen use. Totally offer 14k and ask them to throw in new tires. Dealerships don't want inventory sitting on the lot too long especially on trades. Salesman may not make as much money on the deal but you should get a better deal.

 

It's a casting defect at the manufacturing stage.
