A cobalt SS/SC in laser blue..supposively it was flooded to about the bottom of the seats, is 7500 buy it now price low or high for this? Hell if i had 7500 i know i'd buy it..apparently it didn't affect any of the mechanical/electronics, something must be wrong with it though right? Either it's a scam or a really good deal....

 

i dono man id be carful when thinkin bout buying a car that has some water damage but if u were able to test drive it to make sure it ran good then that would be a good deal imo

 

oh i'm not looking to buy it..i'm saving my money now either for a new turbo cobalt, or a SS/NA manual to turbo =]

 

yea im saving my money too to supercharge my 2.4. good luck with ur turbo plans.

 

already a thread about this car. i would do it if i didnt already have an SS seems like a good find. gut the carpet and its good to go.

 

mmmhmmm thats what people think when they start a project that costs them more than the car is worth.

you cant think about a car as "oh its 7500 bucks i can get it cheap, put 3k in it and it'd be great!" you have to think long term investment. You get an ss/sc used for i dono, 16-17k, you use it for however long, sell it for 12k later. that's 5k total loss in the car. You buy a car that has water damage and you have to rebuild it, (you're gonna have to tell when selling that it had water damage) spend probably 10k total, sell it for probably 7k. You'd be better off just not dealing with the trouble or the chance of them lying to you.

 

A buddy of mine had a bright idea to buy a flood car to fix.

Like others have said it became expensive fast and he actually lost money.

It's just like people who buy wrecks expecting to make money later. In most cases the car you bought for $4,000 wrecked is still worth $4,000 fixed.

 

if i bought it .. i would be parting everything out.. if you got it for 2550 US.. which its at right now, i guarantee you'd make money haha problem is shipping from alberta to ontario

 

Buy mine instead, little more costly, but MUCH better deal. lol
