Might be saying goodbye to the cobalt
 

Well today I'm gonna go check out a 2005 Jetta GLI that I might trade for the cobalt I used to have one and they are nice cars and I need a 4 door cars since a have a Babby on the way and since I couldn't sell my car my only option is to trade it in :(

very simple trade your balt for a 4dr balt t/c... problem solved see ya in a month lol

yea, if I wanted a 4 door right now, I'd be in the market for a cobalt ss/tc. But in about a 2 years (25yrs old and insurance drop) I might start looking for an evo, so we'll see if I keep my balt. I got 2 years into it, and I got 2 years to get it to where I want, if it doesn't perform once myself and wife is 25, then I'm getting a used evo.

My friend has an 04 Jetta GLI. It's a very nice car. Stock it's a tad slower than a stock SS/SC, but with a APR stage II, turboback exhaust, CAI, turbo inlet it'll run with a Stage II SS/SC...

I love mine! You HAVE to get the Recaro babyseat though lol

yeah I miss mine I had a lot of mods in it I'll try to post a pic if I find it

An evo sounds nice but it's not something I can afford right now I'm doing this because my car is paid off and it's gonna be an even trade I don't want anymore payments and with the Balt ss/tc I'm gonna have payments

Deceided to keep the Balt and buy my lady a small SUV

an hhr?

good cuz u cant get rid of the balt! what kind of suv?

Congrats on the baby!! Thats first and formost. Cars and other stupid BS you're gonna find take a back seat to them from now on. Or at least they better.

Thanks, and fo sho backseat

Well she wants a liberty so :-/

Hell my kids ae the only reason I didn't get a C6 instead of my M. No back seats in Vettes! :lol:

I told her but she didn't like it

sounds like they need a few more $$ to run with a stage 2 cobalt. doesnt seem practical.

Yeah I no, I used to have a 350Z and when I got together with my chick and were going to start a family I had to sell it

evo insurance = cheaper than ss/sc insurance.

im 19 and i was going to trade for an evo 8. called my insurance company and it was going to be like $30 cheaper each month.

Thats cause the Cobalt does so poorly in crash testing. Way to go GM looking out for your customers! :twothumbs

NOTE- the ONLY way the Cobalt sedan could get any kind of crash worthyness was to have side curtain airbags installed. And the instalation gives them a high rating by default! Go back and look at what the 05 sedan had for its crash ratings prior to the airbag recall/install.

NOTE 2- When I got my M my insurance DROPPED BIG TIME! Insurance agent told me he was glad to see me get rid of that "unsafe Coablt" His words, NOT MINE.

Yes but an evo is more expensive

Here check this out cause it doesn't look like it to me.

The prices for used like a 2005 don't seem right if it was that I would of bought an evo instead of my cobalt, I paid 15 for mine back in feb.

;) See its not as expensive as you thought is it? Why not go see if you can score one in trade for your SS?

well i live in a small town and there isnt a lot to choose from here.

but i raher have an sti 2004-2005

So drive to a big town. STI's can be had for similer costs.

STIs are the new civic, be different and get an EVO, then thank me later lol.
