********* TRADED TO SKEET SKEET BRO **********
After some heavy thinking and private messaging on this forum looking at possible trade options I figured I would go ahead and post this out here on the forum to see what interest I could get. Looking out for an SS Cobalt, car has just hit 86,000 miles. I'm located in West Tennessee (Jackson) and am willing to meet half-way with anyone on a trade, feel free to PM me if your interested so we can exchange numbers and talk.
Currently I have a daily commute to work of 60 miles a day round trip. 60 miles a day, five days a week adds up on a car like this and also on gas cost; I'm looking to swap into something more daily driver friendly. Looking at current KBB on this car with the mileage it gave me private party $11,340 good and $12,090 excellent. Add in the cost of the below mods and I feel my asking "value" of $13,000 is very fair.
Heads and Cam were done at 72,000 miles. At 80,000 miles I had all new brakes / pads / rotors done, all new tires, complete overhaul of the A/C system (previous owner gutted the A/C system and lines!), and a complete maintenance of the power steering system (new high and low pressure lines included).
On the A/C system, previous owner removed the high and low pressure condenser lines, evaporator, compressor, condenser, etc. So I replaced everything including from the dealer lines (expensive).
On the power steering system, due to the header install the transmission cooling lines had to be moved so they wouldn't rest on the headers. Seems that caused that line to sit to close to my high pressure power steering line which is smaller and thinner. Over time due to vibration/movement/rubbing the high pressure power steering line ended up getting a hole in it which course started leaking which got more noticeable over time. Went ahead and replaced the high pressure line only to have the lower pressure line fitting leak so i replaced that line too (again original OEM lines from the dealer).
Car has been great, actually more than great. This thing has never left me stranded, any starting issues, no strange running issues, nothing. I put gas in it weekly, change the oil every 3000 miles, air the tires, check fluids, and clean the K&N filter. That's it.
Quick spec list below and a couple of pictures that I have online right now.
Mods:
K&N Cold Air Intake
Texas Speed stage 2.5 PRC LS6 heads w/ ARP head bolts
Comp 918 Valve Springs (good for .625 lift)
Texas Speed Torquer V2 (232/234 .595/.598 116LSA)
Pacesetter LongTube Headers
X-Pipe with SLP LM1

yeah he had his cammed at 430 rwhp and drove to texas to trade it for an s2k that he blew up on the way home. fail the peice of **** is still taking up my garage space lol. stupid s2k
Sorry guys should have been better about bulleting my original post some of the details might have got lost lol!
Stonny9 It is a A4 Automatic and I do plan to get some interior pictures up the car looks like it's been in a rally race here lately soo dirty and the interior looks like an abandoned house it's so dusty.
heathkidder it has 86,000 miles on it currently.
redcobalt07 not necessarily like HickOverLord said, depend on the extent of the mods. All I've done here is a heads/cam package (rods, springs, etc.), long tube headers, exhaust, k&n intake/filter, and a tune.
defo98 it's an LS1 based motor with ported LS6 (stage 2 texas speed) and a texas speed torquer 2 cam. With the a conservative tune (which it has now) she puts down 405hp to the rear wheels. I drive it daily to work and back which is 60 miles a day, I average 20.1mpg every fill up (with a few spirited sprints in there
).
dontcryemokid it traps a quarter mile at 12.24 as it sits now (can't remember at what speed).
05Blackss.sc 05/06 had the scoop hood, this is a 05 hood. It does have the stock 04 bumper, exhaust is true dual that comes back to dual tips out of the rear driver spot (factory look).
Shibito cam doesn't bother at all, it's quite tam (not to big), it doesn't surge at all or lung like heavily cammed cars. Now the SLP LM1 exhaust is pretty loud and can get a hum at certain RPM's but doesn't seem to bother me with the cruise on 60 or 70 depending on what road i'm on coming to work.

Took a couple of pictures of the interior when I got home from work. Phone died and I'm using my wifes phone so its hard to link these.

moranjames89 I'm usually pretty easy on it, wife says I drive like a old lady lol! Heathkidder wanted to hear it cruising 60/70 for interior sound so I just did a couple of quick videos as I was heading home from work.
She is fast though it will go like a rocket
