Hey blue balt. Yeah thats not mine. Check out Tom Oates chevy on the web. They still have mine. 17k miles and the same exact car. I think it is a little more $, but you may be able to use it to bargain down the one your looking at. Ya know.. a little white lie saying Tom Oates is giving you a better offer etc.. good luck on ur car. It is an awesome value.

 

I got my 2.4L 5spd for 12,900 with 9700 mi. Every other car around here had like 25K mi on it and the dealer wanted 14,9 or 15,9. I found a SS/SC with 11k mi for 17,9 but i figured with the SS/TC i wouldnt be happy with it, So i bought a 2.4. My theory is i paid 12,9 for my car so i can sink about 10 grand into it still be at less then the price of a SS/TC and well be faster.

 

What year is your 2.4L?

The place that I'm looking at has it for $14995 and the car has 21000 miles on it. I know I can get a better deal for it as I see people on this site buying 06 SS/SCs with lower mileage for less than that.

Also the money from UPS feel through so I'm going to have to try without a DP now. If I would've gotten the money I would be paying a lot lower a month than I am now. Without the DP there is still hope that I'll be paying the same which is high, but I'm making it thanks to raises at my job. Last year I had no credit and this year I have credit scores that are a few points shy of 700 and I'm 19. If the deal doesn't work out then I'm refinancing my LS into a 48 month loan in Oct when I would be owing 51 months.

 

Its an 06 still has the warraty till december 5th. How much are you paying for you LS if you don't mind me asking? Im paying 267 a month on mine.

 

I'm currently paying a little over $100 more. I know it's high as hell, but I've made every single payment without being late. My current monthly payment is because last year I had no credit and now I wished I would've have waited a bit more, but I wanted a car then so I'm not complaining. After finding out that my credit scores are now near 700 I can perhaps get a better car for the same or less monthly payment. I'm looking at either the 07 2.4L SS and if that falls through I'm going to wait a little longer and look at 06 SS/SC.

 

Thats cool. What do you want to do to the car though? You could mod the hell out of either one/ change from SC to TC or do either or on a 2.4L. I had an 05 SS/SC i loved every second of it. I love my 2.4 now and i don't plan on ever getting rid of it, Im getting my turbo next year for it and hopefully by them time im done paying it off i will be well around 400hp is what i want. The only problem i see with buying an 06 SS/SC is its probably going to be beat to ****, and you might wind up spending more money having to keep it running rather than modding.

 

you wont be able to bargain with them at all on a cobalt, at least right now, if they dont sell it to you for what they want, they will sell it to the next guy for that price

btw i love my 2.4l, i say get the zzp combo with the stock catback, it sounds awesome and feels even better

 

^^ if you get a turbo and pump out 400 hp im guessing at the crank? thatd be sick. is your car auto then? cause i was thinking of putting a turbo in mine in the summer but its manual and heard the manual tranny doesnt hold the power as well.. but back to the thread, i love the 2.4 and agreed with buying a used SC, unless you know for sure who had it, its gonna have some wear and tear to it externally and internally.. but its all what you want in a car/what you can get.

 

i paid 14,500 for mine, brand new.

 

13k new here..

 

nice.

 

yea and now the price is around 14-15k for the same cars with 22k+ miles on em..

 

yea get an used ss/sc and u will be happy..cause if u get a 2.4 f/i ain't cheap and i should know cause its gonna cost me 2,500-3k to be supercharged ....thats for the whole kit and gonna get installed at tune time with a dyno tune..but it will be worth in the end when im gonna be pushing atleast 250 whp and thats gonna be w/o an intake and cat back which im gonna get later

 

yeah, hell, i was offered 12 in trade for mine, and i'm at like 55k

 

If I could've, I would buy a an s/c if I were you, however the 2.4 is a billion times better than the 2.2 IMO. Honestly. I blew my friend away in my slightly modded 2.4 against his well modified 2.2..

 

why's it costing u so much. there's dudes on here always talkin about selling installing and tuning a 2.4 for 2k total

 

yeah, i think i could prolly boost my 2.4 for well under that.

 

got the kit ffor 1,800..tune time is gonna charge me 1,300..yea the guy 's name is streetdreamz on here...i pm and he said he would do it for 500 but he never responds my pm's about what weekend i can come down...i would love to go to him..

 

thats alot ... u should talk to psykostevo...

 

he from Arizona though

 

I honestly should print out this thread and show it to the sales person on Friday.

What would the insurance difference be on a 2.4L vs a SS/SC?

 

no warranty ??? lol lol

 

The car comes with a warranty.

If it has the 3 year 36K, it'll still have 15K

If it has the 60K(I doubt) it'll still have 39K

 

The s/c would probably be a good bit more to insure than the 2.4.. If not, I'll be mad.. lol.

 

Ya i love my 2.4 and i would recomend it to anyone!! at least someone that wants a little better gas mileage than the ss/sc and stilll has some power under the hood!!!!
