Title says it all. I'm looking to purchase a 2010 Cobalt SS Turbo. Preferably Victory Red, of course. I am located in London, Ontario, Canada.

Thanks in advance!

 

why a 2010? why not an 08 or 09?

 

Newer is better, no? Do you know something I don't? Why are you suggesting 8 or 9? Thanks in advance

 

not always. recently doing some research I noticed the 2010 cobalts have different connecting rods. they are powdered metal rods like are also found on ldk and lhu engines. so, depending on how far you plan to push the car, an 08 or 09 might be a tad bit more durable. but people have made over 400whp on an ldk engine as well so the newer rods aren't exactly brittle.

 

Fair enough. I don't intend to beat the **** of it, tho

 

fair enough. auto trader, craigslist, your cobalt.com, cobaltss.net... happy hunting.

 

Whats your budget? How far are you willing to go?
There are 10 pages of Cobalt SS on kijiji in Ontario right now (granted some are parts, some are 05-07)

 

If you can, stick with a 2010.

 

I would go anywhere for one. Anywhere. I don't know what it would take to bring a US car up here, but I would do that, too. I'd be willing to pay between 10-12K. Problem is, asking prices are usually too high still. SS owners are doin their best at keepin those resale prices high

 

Found a 10 for 7K. That price is suspect AF

 

How many Km's and has it been wrecked.

 

163,000 Kms, no wreck. Lady says it was her family car. Pictures show a baby seat in the back

 

I mean honestly, if you are willing to go anywhere, you can find better deals. In AB and SK, they are priced cheaper because people want trucks. Here are two good deals for low mileage and clean cars. One is a 2009 but its a good price for the car. I would not buy from the US, not with our crappy dollar. Plus, if you buy from AB or SK, we do not use a lot of salt so the cars are not as rusted as one from Ontario.

Those don't look too bad at all. I don't know why, but I'm so partial to Victory red. I also kinda want a '10 partially due to the digital display

 

Wow, thanks for the heads up. there is a ton of these out west

 

What do you mean by digital display?

 

on the pillar, rather than the analog dials

 

Ohhhhhh....never realized those were from the factory. Learned me something today!

 

I found that car on Kijiji. Looks pretty clean to me, does not look modified which is good. But with 163k, it'll definitely need the valves cleaned. Plus, suspension will be getting pretty worn so I would budget for new struts/end links and such. Plus it says it only has 2 winter tires so you will need 2 more tires.

But I would drive it and see how the clutch it as well. I would also check the bottom of the doors for rust, look into the wheel wheels for rust. And also look on the frame rails/rockers for rust. On the SS models, the side skirts can hide the rust so take a good look.

 

So your talking about the rpd display I have a 09 and have it

 

I've never seen that Regina one around but it looks pretty decent.

 

Still learning. Thought it was only the '10's that had them. Also, thanks to everyone for helping me look. You guys are real pushers! lol

 

It is pretty tough to beat the value in these cars. I bought mine 2 years ago with 120Km for 7k.. It drives amazing, lots of power, handles great and it has been very reliable.

The only drawback is that its a cobalt so cheaper interior with some squeaks and rattles.

 

They were options in '08 and '09 and came in all '10s.

 

RPD wasn't an option in 2008 at all, it was new for MY2009.
