Hey everyone...as many of you may know I am a former owner of a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS and got into an accident totalling it... I ended up buyin gan SRT4 and miss the cobalt a lot... However I was at my chevy dealership the other day to drop off paper to get my extended warranty money back and what do I see but a nice black 2006 Cobalt SS S/C with teh G85 package, tinted windows, GMPP Exhaust, and Injen CAI... it got my eyes locked and I almost bought it... Only problem is ... I dont think I can afford it.. I am paying about 280 a month on my 2004 SRT4 and if I buy the balt it will be up to like 330... My questions are... would my imsurance increase noticably from buyin a 2006 from a 2004, is $20,000 after everything..(sales tax, plates, etc.) for a 20,000 mile car.. Im just not a good negotiator with dealerships... my srt4 runs perfect now with all new wheels and tires, turbo and everything, just I miss the cobalt a lot... should I buy it or do u think it be too much for me since IM barley getting by on the srt4... any tips at all would be very appreciated


Thanks! Bryan

 

hmm, well i went from a 2003 monte carlo ss to a 2007 cobalt ss/sc and my insurance went up 20 bucks per 6 months.

 

i freakin love ur car color man!!! (sorry to *** up ur tread ill stop now lol)

 

dont get it dude. ya its a cool car but its not worth the financial strain.

 

wait a lil while... there is no need to get yourself into a financial bind if you dont have to.

 

It's interesting to hear that you're a former Cobalt owner and you miss the car from the SRT-4. Care to give us a few reasons why?

 

damn dude, that is tough, but i would stick with the SRT. like some people said, no need to put yourself into more of a financial bind.

 

Keep the SRT... much easier car to get to go really fast. Plus the utility of 4 doors and a back seat people can actually get into if they want to.

If I could have gotten my hands on a SRT-4 I would have had one.

 

I want to first thank you all for your advice... I started to do what you said and I told them I just can afford to pay anything more than I am paying now so I was goign to have to pass it up.. So I got a call back... They fixed my payments the same as what I was paying on the srt.... a $1 less a month actually to be exact.... SO I just ahd to do it... I bought a black 2006 CObalt SS/SC with G85 Package... I have to admit I will miss the neon a lot... It was a fun car, faster, easy as hell to launch and sounded sick... but that car is way to bad on gas for me, not the best daily driver, and looks nothing like the cobalt ss. The srt was a ticket waiting to happen.. the urge to step on the peddle of the car is so hard to resist... but once I got back in the balt I felt like I was in a sporty luxury car compared to the interior of the neons... I love the way it rides, and I get heads turning all over... btw it has the GMPP exhaust and INjen CAI... So yea it came to me not needing a fast car nemore but a car with some decent power to it that can be fun.. but more into the looks of the car now.. Im proud to say I am once again a Cobalt SS/SC owner again!

Again, thanks for all your advice

 

WOOT! thats what i like to hear! welcome back to the good side! ahaha

 

Welcome back to the fold!

 

need to change your sig back to in with the new new or something.....k im tired

 

Thats whats up man.. i was actually talkin to my girl about doin her wheels on her Orange blast Srt like the ones you had on yours. they looked really good. Congrats on gettin back into the balt though man. I bet your really happy

 

very sweet...good choice. did the dealership make you pay for a greater amount of time? or just larger down payment? Nice to have the injen and gmpp exhaust!


black is the color to have too!

 

Thats nice to hear man, glad you got back into another Balt, BTW what did you have done to the SRT?

 

congrats, im glad you were able to hold out and the dealership came down! the srt is nice but i feel the same way as you, the coblat is a much nicer overall car!

 

besides, the cobalt handles WAY better from what i am told

 

welcome back man!! Be sure to come down to the 2nd annual Cape Cod meet and show it off.

click the link in my sig for details.

 

nice call i was actually doing to do the same kind of thing from going from a NA to the SC but it was just going to be stupid so im with the 2.4l cant wait to put a turob in that and leave you at the line lol jk... welcome back

 

Glad to hear that you came back to the SS/SC and that the dealership worked with you. Way to gooooooo.
