Hey guys. I found a pretty nice 05 Cobalt SS. Its yellow, 21k on the clock for 14,357. This price is reduced from 15,999 when the dealer first got the car a month ago. I checked it out in person and its clean as ****, but I just didn't think the price warranted the switch from the Sport that I have. The car is Gm certified has black rims, tails, and a K/N intake and different shift ***. So, Im gonna lose like 1,000 on my trade, Ive only had the sport for 4 months, but the fact they dropped the price on the SS helps. I regret not getting a 5 speed and the SS looks way better+the leather is sweet.


So, do i dare pull the trigger tomorrow?

What car do you have now?

 

Sorry, 2008 sport auto with 4300 miles on it. I bought it used with 200 miles on it...

 

Cobalt?

 

Yes Cobalt sir.

 

So ask yourself:

Mileage or Looks.

But if its cheaper, I say go for it. If I read it correctly.

 

Well from what I've learned here..the LSJ is a tank of a motor especially if you keep it stock/lightly modded. 20k is pretty low on any car, and since the car is certified, I still am under warranty until 2010.

It seems like a deal thats worth it.

 

I think the only difference between the LSJ and the SC is the power distribution. SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF WRONG.

But I say go for it. I say Looks and power=WIN

 

u have takin it for a spin right?

 

For sure, I think the black and yellow look is sharp as hell. And the fact it has an intake on it already is cool so I don't have to spend my money on that haha.

Yeah the car drives fine, clutch feels fine and everything, interior is clean etc. Its a cherry

 

wel also think of gas price and if ur insc. will go up or not, but if u wanna do then get the SS/SC

 

The price of insurance is actually 8 bux less a month, they said 169 for the SS, 177 for the Sport currently. I guess the year makes the difference? And the gas is same, premium in both, and I've read the LSJ gets better fuel economy than the LE5.

 

Even though you dont have to put premium. Its just recommended.

 

I like puttin the good stuff in the car, I figure its best to protect the investment ya know? Hopefully it all works out tomorrow

 

It has more than just intake probably, from what I can see in the pics it also has a hurst short throw. Its pretty clean Id get it if I were you but get them down to 13 out the door.

 

Well I know Im gonna lose some cash on the trade, and since they just dropped it almost 2k from before..idk how willing theyre gonna be to drop the price ya know? But ill definitely try!

 

They dropped the price because they cant sell it, dealers will do anything to sell a car especially with these cars being the less desired version of the SS now Im sure you can talk them down

 

hell no its been modded. y buy a car thats been beaten?? go to ebay and get one of the 3 08 SS/TC for 19k with 600miles or less on all of them and all have LSD.

 

Very true... any thoughts and or opinions on the hurst short throw? I thought I remember reading that either the Hurst or the B&M is incredibly short? Or am I wrong?

 

Noticed an Ingalls ETD on there too!

Luckily they certified it as-is..so if I did get it I'd get it shown in writing the car had mods done to it already. I am a bit worried about the fact it does have mods though. grr this is tough lol

 

I have never heard bad things about the Hurst. Neither are incredibly short.

 

looks like it has tinted tails, hurst sts, k@n intake, black rims, painted calipers, tint, and a gmpp exhaust. looks pretty sewwt and 21000 is not alot for a 2005. id say offer them 13,500 and take it.

 

i guess no1 thinks 19k for a ss/tc is a good deal lol
