Yeah ab out a month maybe, it was on like a day or two before you and I met up on 61st Graham.

Anyway, here's the only pic I have of it, it's a crappy pic and it's a night shot, so i'm sorry about that, i'll get some more when I get a chance.

hmm... weird.

back to the dealer thing;

the red SS/SC I said that JC had over a week ago, but is now missing from their used lot...

well it's now shown via their site HERE


Weird pt2;

I just looked using postal codes for Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Edmonton, and Winnipeg - and the GM inventory search yielded zero Cobalt SS's for all of those locations...

Look's like the days of finding new Cobalt SS's are over.

@ Graham;
your acquaintance who has a 2010 she's trying to sell for $25k... she might have a tough time of it.
  • she's trying to sell @ $25k
  • MSRP on 2010 SS's (no actual options available) is $27,995 + $1,450(shipping) = $29,445
  • current GM cash discount is $7,000
  • making a price for a brand new one at a dealer come in at $22,445 (which is almost as cheap as I bought mine for!)

incase you have her ear, you might want to let her know this...
additionally, if you know, did she just not think through a new car purchase?
I've seen two people trying to sell their 2010's already...

Nope she didnt think through her purchase, Found out that she couldnt afford 500 plus insurance a month the hard way. Ive told her that she isnt going to sell it for $25000, and should lower it to 20000 to have a better shot. yet even then will be a hard sale.

^^^ wow, that flat out sucks.

I'd wager opting out of any structured financing, and doing it via a bank loan/line of credit might even be more doable...

I saw that today on their site.

**** has that one listed at $19*

and Carter has the red one listed at $15*

(* = think about it, I'm only rounding up $5)

the key is in between both the mileage and hte model year;
Red one = 2006 w/89k km's @ $15
yellow one = 2007 w/14k km's @ $19k

IMHO, there is no way any dealer should be offering a car with illegal tail lights - But I'm guessing **** is going to try to upsell the navigation stereo (or did you miss that?) as well as all the other aftermarket parts...





imho, the asking price is assuredly in the stratosphere, even if we all know they're not going to get that - and just use that number as a starting point...


Also, I might like yellow exterior, but I'm all about black or monotone interiors...

That car was owned by a company that does sound systems, I believe that car has rear dvd players in the head rests as well, along with an 1800RMS watt sound system.

that was mostly gibberish in my world...

I like the hood, but do not like the over sized after market sub, blacked out tail lights, and feel the car would look better if hte CF hood & trunk were painted.

and you're proud of this?

try four suite(?sp) spider-solitaire ~ that should keep you busy.

or sign up to GMFWD dot com (I'm there) and ply the online games (look for the "arcade" button) - I've got a couple records there...
(and if you signed up, you'ld only be the second Cobalt owner there, myself included)

try spider solitaire;

four suite will probably be too tough off the bat, but unlike th regular game it's actually challenging...

then there's always gmfwd

umm, try the game.

it's not really about points, because some games seem to be unsolvable.

but apparently I reset all my SS stats a while ago...
