oh no offense taken, i am fully aware of what my car needs to look good again haha. Just lack of funds

 

[QUOTE=soundjunky;6506357]good ole, Anola Manitoba!

I have an Aunt & Uncle who live out there...

that is an absolute smoking deal!!

I actually thought GM didn't offer leasing during the 2008 model year??!? ~ maybe that was done in '07 just before they canceled leasing??

I wonder if that guy got it certified used at the end of 09 and leased it?

Considering it still has a year left on the lease that would make sense to me

 

good.

I had to to a triple take when I realized whom you were... after having known you for a bit...

I had your car as my desktop backround for some time around the time I had given up on buying a Cobalt.... those pics you hosted in your photobucket account...

 

oddly enough a lot of people used those as background , i was in the desktop picture thread and saw it a few times.

Itll be like that one day lol

 

I'm pretty sure that GM did not offer leasing for the 2009, and 2010 model years;
IIRC it was somehow tied into the bail out ~ so when they got in trouble, they killed the leasing program...
The financial hardship happened some time in the 2008 model year, and early in the 2009 model year the 'Performance Division' was (temporarily) dissolved...
then iirc they brought it back some time in the 2011 model year ~ and I believe that they even had commercials something like "leasing is back!" ~ that were used with he Cruze...

 

Im pretty possative that 2010 cobalts had leasing as an option although that wouldnt explain that 08 being on a lease.

 

weren't leases offered with 3-5-7 year terms?

if his term has about a year left, that puts it at 2013;
2013 - 5 = 2008

that right there seems to make sense to me.

also the shorter the term, the higher the buyout...

 

i had a 4 year lease in 07 and leasing was still offered towards the end of 2007-start of 2008

 

The odd thing is the LNF SS didnt come out until late 08. I believe...

 

Soundjunky Coming into town this summa?

 

late calender year does not equate late in the model year;

the SS/TC was offered up and expected to arrive in dealers April/May 2008;
I believe the car was announced at SEMA in early 2008 (iirc SEMA is late January) - with the SS model being completely absent from brochures ect for the 2008 model year.

What Jordan recalls does seem to make sense;
granted I never really knew much about terms, but I do believe the standards were 3/5/7 year terms...

and if that's the case, this guy could have ordered the car, taken receipt, barely driven it in the four or so years he's had it.... and have aprox one year left in his original five year lease contract.



either way, IMHO, that is by far the best deal I've seen on an SS/TC since I started looking;
the car is virtually new, and at aprox 47% of the original MSRP...

If I had never bought my car - this would probably be the one I'd be buying...
I had resigned myself to not buying after the yellow paint option was dropped - because I did not want to pay full MSRP....
I was going to find an Arrival Blue SS/SC state-side, drive it for a year or two, and flip it to put towards an SS/TC.

 

Something seems fishy on it.

First of all he lives in the country, country vehicles have a tendency to put on WAY more KM's then a city car.

It doesnt add up....i think ether it was in a accident or i dunno...

 

Intense lease conversation you guys got going lol

 

Want us to start talking about John deere lease options to get you a little more involved?

 

to further elaborate on this;

Kelley Blue Book

according to KBB, this car is aprox $4k below our "sinking like a rock" values...

 

intense?

as sad as it might seem, trying to figure out stuff, is kinda something I like to waste my time on...

otherwise why would I make the broken down by year thread ect...

I wouldn't call this intense at all...

just light dinner conversation... without the dinner.

 

What? lease conversations are fun... HAHA. IF i wrote off my car today i would be all over that one.

 

We can arrange that....

 

Haha. Well it would look odd if a SRTC cobalt randomly wrote itself off on my car. in my parking lot at work haha

 

i like this idea, burn the evidence after work, wheres troy when you need him haha

 

Haha

 

Sorry the sarcasm font wasnt on when I typed that haha. Jon you know more about cobalts then GM knows about cobalts lol

 

Lol. Not hard.
My mom knows more about cobalts than Gm knows about cobalts.

 

Ah It's friday for me woot woot. And i can come in for OT tomorrow and still have a 2 day weekend.
