Greetings Everyone:

Glad i stumbled on this forum about 1 week ago looking forward to getting to know you guys in the future. Anyone ever feel like after they bought a vehicle that they should have gone just that extra bit. One week ago i purchased a 2007 Cobalt SS Victory Red 4 Speed Automatic. NOW I love the car however i REALLY wish i had bought a 5 Speed 201hp Supercharged version. K I have 201 KM's on the car atm I paid 30000 approx for the car and really wish i bought the Supercharger. I guess i have 2 dilemas my first if i go back to the dealership and see if i can get a Super charger version how much do you think i will loose on the deal will they let me do the change and the second thing what prevented me from buying the Supercharged version is i have always driven an automatic. Should I just stick with the Automatic or learn how to drive the standard? Frig this is driving me nuts. Any input on performance issues as compared between the Auto and the standard would be great. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Ive never known anyone to make it worth their while ... you will have better luck with insurance fraud then you will with not getting screwed on new vehicle swaps .. .


it allready sounds like you got screwed with that price on a non SS/SC

Chad Skiffington

and good luck ...maybe get a motor bike or some hookers or something and make spending the money worth your while ... a wise man will accpet his mistake

Thanks for the quick Reply. Off to a grand start sorry I'm in the wrong Forum for this.

if u do go ss/sc make sure u learn to drive stick BEFORE driving it, the clutch is super sensitive and very easily burnt out, definatley suggest buying like a $1000 beater car to learn, otherwise just stick with what u have!

You paid 30,000 for the 2.4L ... im sorry but you could have gotten a 2.0L S/C for less then that.

xspyder85x

i was wondering the same thing, $30,000? how did you pull that off? the msrp is like $18,000.

I think he's talking canadian $$.

05BlackCobaltSS

Even still, In Canadien, you shouldn't be paying 30k for a non ss/SC.

R&C_rallySS

100% agree. I got my g85 package fully loaded Cobalt ss/sc for 21k.... with 2miles on the car! *WOOT*

g5mike

this is what alot of canadians are pissed about our dollar usaully floats about .10-.12cents less than the american dollar yet we pay 30% more than our friends south of the border,auto companies have been asked about this,and no one is stepping up to the plate,might need to be a government investigation

hot_redcobalt

Hey all on the issue of the pricing it was $26000 before taxes. I also added Undercoating, paint protection and leather protection. The actual price was more so in the 28000$ price range. And yes it's in Canadian Dollars. Just came from the dealership my question has been answered automatic it is. Anyone know what kind of Engine modifications i can put into it to increase horsepower but maintain my warranty with GM?

Chad Skiffington

who else is thinking of seinfeild when jerry goes to buy the saab ... undercoating ..lol

dude, def should have gone with the SS S/C, espeically since u paided 30g's ??? WTF. My SS was the 17th (2nd A-blue) SS S/C in Canada with sunroof and I paid 27g's in march 2005.

g5mike

get the GM catback from crateengine depot,injen intake from turbotechracing ,Gm manifold and the cobalt addiction downpipe...all these vendors can be found on the site vendor section

Cobalt_Supercharged

I don't know about Canada, but in the US you have I think 30 days to reverse the contract without penalty. The dealership will give you a really hard time about it, but it can be done. The sooner the better. They might not give you as much of a hassle if you want to buy the SS S/C from them.

Flash~SS2.4

Mine is a 2007 SS 2 door. Fully loaded. the only option i turned away was AUTO

mine is 24,800.00

so to recap
A 2007 White SS
5spd
Leather interior
XM / 6disc indash MP3
7 speaker sound w 10"sub
sunroof.

i paid 24,800 for mine. and thats after taxes. so how does one get it for 30Gs.???

stlurbanpunk

the pioneer system is standard now in the US for 07 2.4s and I thought it was always standard in Canada.

I ordered mine for 19,200 adn plan on mildly moding it.

You can mod the crap out of these things now. A year ago there wasnt much aftermarket support, but now there is a bunch. GM performance parts apparently have a warranty and such, so that is why most people buy their exhaust, intake and header.

I paid 26,000 cdn for my 2006 2.4 about 7 months ago.. Of course by the time you are done with all the **** you are up to about 33,000. Wow isn't buing a new car great. I have even bought a second car in order to work on this one. Payments every month without driving it....who is the sucker now. I am making good head way though on all the mods. I will unveil a **** disturber soon.....Who likes nitrous!!!!!

xxdarkbladexx

i paid 18.5 for mine but its not fully loaded =/ STILL LOVE IT THOUGH

JohnnySasakiMGS

30 GRAND FOR A CAR THAT COSTS 18...........Living in canada must suck *****. Or their salesmen make alot of money buy selling useless/overpriced undercoating and "leather protection".

eber

I bought the good warranty as well because well.....it is a chevy. I like it a lot but much like many others wish I had waited to get the supercharged one. Oh well we all make mistakes...at least I have two cars instead of two kids
