What should i do Cobalt ss or GTO

Ok since i bought my cobalt ss a year ago I've had nothing but problems with it. I have the chance to trade my car in and get a grand more than i owe on it and get a 2006 gto with only 24k miles on it for 20,995 I think i can get them down a lil more to maybe 300 a month. What do you guys think

if i can get them to 300 or maybe a lil more its gonna happen. I owe 10,500 on my car they offered me 11grand trade and a grand down on the car. Im gonna try and get 12 grand for my car with a grand down and try and get them to 19,500 on the car and that will get me to 286 a month for 72 months

Goat. A friend of mine (Brandon) Flash13Brandon had a SS/SC fully bolted on & he upgraded to a GTO, and it's sexy!

Cobalt. The only GTO you should be driving is '64-'74.

pro tip: when buying a car don't negotiate a price by monthly payment.

Are you factoring in the interest rate when u finance the car?Cause if im reading it right,those numbers dont add up.And as far as i know they dont offer 0% financing on used cars.I could be wrong though.

Roommate had a GTO now has an SS/SC, I like light and nimble myself. I enjoy my car's handling that the GTO won't have.

Dont get me wrong i love the cobalt ss/sc but to be honest the car has to many problems. I've had it for a year and it was in and out of the garage 10 times. I'm just worried the next thing to go will be the supercharger and that will take a nice stake of money to fix. The car isnt worth the headaches and thats what the dealers and my friend whose a chevy mechanic said because he got rid of his too.

Ok so i went to see if they posted car on their website and they do. They got the car on trade 2 days ago and heres the thing they had it listed for 23 grand when i went to the dealership and im on their website right now and the car is up there for $17,200

Too bad you had a bad cobalt experience. But it's understandable

GTO, because powerslides are fun.

I test drove 3 from Denooyer, but they're way too overpriced there so I walked. As fun as the GTO is, I'll take not having a car payment over that any day of the week.

And don't pay over 18 grand for a GTO.

What problems, exactly, did your Cobalt have? I put 50,000 miles on mine and haven't really had any issues aside from being in an accident about a year ago.
