It's been 15 years of amazing times with my Cobalt SS but it's finally time to move on. There's 134,600k miles on her and I'm asking $5000 obo. I'm located in Northern NJ. I have details below the images.
I purchased this car from Flemington Car & Truck Chevy dealership on September 3rd, 2009. This SS is optioned with the G85 limited slip diff, power sunroof, sport pedals, 60/40 split folding seats and spare tire. I have all the records for the entirety of its life, including the original window sticker, both original keyfobs (one never used) and the original keys. I have a plethora of pictures here and have detailed maintenance records here: here I've done the bulk of the maintenance on this car myself.
The car passed NJ state inspection this past October and has no check engine lights, or any warning lights (TPMS sensors were replaced 4 years ago). Also included is a set of snow tires, Rage R20 17"x8" with General Altimax Arctic tires (fairly worn -- last picture in imgur gallery). The current tires are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 summer tires on all 4 corners, roughly half worn. There are numerous modifications I've made to this Cobalt SS, I apologize if I miss anything here:
Hahn Motorcraft Charge Piping
Hahn Motorcarft high density intercooler
Hann Motorcraft full catback exhuast
Hahn Motorcraft cold air intake
ZZP Catted downpipe
ZZP high capacity radiator
ZZP solid engine mounts
Powell Racing lower CABs
Powell Racing brake scoops
Trifecta Tuned (93 octane, can be disabled via cruise control switch)
Stainless Steel brake lines
Forge BPV
MPX Oil Catch Can
GMPP Clutch
BPS Shifter Cable Clamp
TWM Short Shifter
Redline Goods shift boot
OE Armrest
Lloyd's "SS" Floor Mats
Arc Shorty Antennae
Major work that's been done recently, the clutch (with throwout), flywheel, and suspension were replaced about 31k miles ago, the intake valves were walnut blasted about 34k miles ago and around the same time the timing chain, guides and water pump were replaced.
I also have all of the original parts except the muffler and the original downpipe has a damaged flex pipe. Additionally, I have a slew of spare parts and what-not. I can include all of this with the sale.
Now for the bad. The sunroof motor clicks when closing the sunroof, I've read this is an indication of failure down the road. There's some rust on the right front corner of the hood. Compression is low for cylinder #1 (120psi) but even and healthy across the remaining cylinders at 140psi. Lastly, I replaced the air conditioner condenser. In doing so I caused a leak at the condenser as the o-ring likely didn't properly seat. I have dye in the system and it's leaking out of there. While the system holds vacuum just fine for days, when charged it'll leak out in a few weeks. It's a simple fix but does require removing the intercooler to get to the line and I haven't had time to go back to fix this. Aside from these few items, everything on the car is working as intended.

Reason: Missed the "For Sale" Prefix
I see you have an ats-v as well, i have an ats ( needed awd for snow ) youre on the main fb page?
My ATS-V gets a set of winter tires but I do try to avoid too much snow and especially salt. I have an under body pressure washer attachment I'll try to get under it after heavy salt. I'm on the Cobalt SS FB group and Cobalt SS Sedan FB group. I've posted the car in the sedan group, thought I tossed it in the other one as well but now I'm not seeing it...
I was also considering submitting it to Bring a Trailer. I'm not expecting a lot for it but it'd be fun to go through the process.
