As much as I love the Cobalt, it doesn't mean that they're suddenly worth 3x their normal value. No matter HOW MUCH time, energy, love, dedication, specialization etc... are put into it.

If I put 50 grand into a Yugo it wouldn't make it worth 50 grand. It's still a Yugo, albeit a pretty one probably. The thing about custimization is it's usually done in a direction that is seen as attractive to the person doing the customization. Sure there are others who see the same attraction but the chances of them wanting to dump that amount into a car w/nearly 40k miles on it aren't that high.

The car I'm talking about isn't in this thread. It is a beautiful and pristine version of the Cobalt. I don't mean any disrespect to him or the Cobalt by my comments.

The guy who started this thread was taking a lighthearted approach at poking a litle fun at it/him. Lighten up guys...chill out. No need to bash him for poking a little fun.

 

You sir, op do not understand a joke.

 

While the joke may be in bad taste, im not sure what happened in the other thread. With that said, 30K is ridiculous for any cobalt, no matter how much time/energy/tears went in. But of course, at the end of the day, its his car and he can attempt to sell it for whatever he wants.

 

lol dude no one will ever pay 50 k for a balt man you can get a used 09 turbo for 20 and that is still alot but hey just my 2cents

 

mods do not increase the value of a car. In fact id pay more money for a stock ss/sc than one that heavily modded. Your just asking for problems. AND ITS A COBALT!

I wonder how many people have gotten that lol

 

Wills balt is probably worth 30k, but not many ppl see that it may be worth that much. If you appreciate hard work and custom parts you would be able to see that. Furthermore, unfortunately nobody is probably going to buy lsf1body's car, because frankly buying a new reliable car and having the fun to mod it yourself is best.

 

lol @ this thread!!

 

pardon me? do you tea bag my silky butt?

i mean isnt that what everyone else was thinking or was that just me

 

Sorry to ls1fbody but stock cars command higher prices than modded ones, especially when the mods are done by an individual and not a shop. I'm not saying I doubt his work, but others most certainly will.

 

EDIT: in case this isnt a joke I should reserve my comment...

 

Perfect. I say this is in good taste.

 

uh say what? a 2nd gen supra tt? so you mean the celica/supra?

 

at least post some pics of the car

 

I think this thread is funny, the for sale thread got funny too.
i'm not saying LS1's balt isnt worth 30K.. but dont jump this OP for making a joke about it.

 

thank you. i really am selling my cobalt will be on ebay on monday which ill post link so everyone can see but i mean seriously.. Dont mod a car wit 19k of mods and suspect to get all your money back. I mean hell i havent modded my car at all hardly and i was just trying to make a joke because heck i got half the miles so mine should be worth more. I know his car will sell for higher than mine but he is full of bs thinking hes gonna get 30k Ha

check thread "possibly for sale 2006 cobalt ss/sc" just a few threads down

exactly no one on here can take a joke.. i mean just because he has the nicest looking cobalt on the site doesnt mean its better than anyone elses or worth more like he said its what he wants for it! but just because i put 50k people go nuts on me!

 

Should probably be in the lounge section.. Yeah, I only bumped this so I could get my new sig out there..haha

 

Funny but either way theres no way ls1 will get 30 for that car, everyone knows it. Maybe i can get 35k since mines faster

 

haha this website has so many *********

 

No, LS1's car is Def not worth more that 15k. There really isn't much done to it. I don't understand what he is thinking.

If I added up what every mod cost on my car I doubt I could even get what they are worth alone by selling the whole car.

 

You serious about selling your car or cracking a sarcastic joke?

 

50k miles or 50k$?

 

you are a tool for thinking a car is worth more then it's original sticker price. unless it comes with a free blow job and a case of beer wont, ever be worth any more then the cost of the beer.

 

IMHO Will's car is not worth 30k. I'd pay 16...max. MOST of what he's claiming as added value is time. The mods only slightly add to the value. The labor behind the mods definitely DOES NOT add any value whatsoever.
Blood, sweat and tears account for nothing...I respect them to no end but would never pay for them.
To me it's like taking a $800 exhaust and having a shop install it for $200 and then claiming that it's a $1000 exhaust.
