have a mechanic you know or trust take a look at it. then offer 8-9k. If the drive train is in good condition it could be a nice car. But what I'm curious about is how it can be keyed but you give it a 7/10 on paint? shouldnt that be like a 3/10?

 

Sounds rough to me. I wouldnt buy it, and def not for that much. Hell mine is almost mint and i cant get anyone to give me 10k for it. Keep looking, youll find something nicer.

 

Alright I'm prob goin tmrw and I have a plan. first I'm goin to check it out after it's been reconditioned and if it looks decent I will test drive it and offer down to 9k or under. If he doesn't bite I'll walk out and keep looking

oh and northvibe I meant the paint is a 7 judging the paint itself minus the scratches

 

but your cobalt already looks pretty cool^^ why would you want to trade it in for a beat up ss?

 

a lil high priced.... shape sounds terrible and smoke is no good. depending on how long its been sitting it may be possible it just had some **** built up it needed to get out, not likely tho. for another 4-6k u could get a TC.

 

our seats arent of poor quality. mines and 07 and im the second owner and the seats are mint. and my car sat outside 5 outta 7 afternoons in 30°C+ weather for the entire summer and anywhere from -10 to -30°C in the winter for the past 3 years.

 

From the sound of it that car is pretty beat. If I were you I'd wait and save up a couple thousand dollars more and get a TC. You'll most likely be bored with an SC a few months into owning it. I used to own an 07 SS/SC and the only thing I miss is the sound of the supercharger lol. I've had my TC since Halloween of 2009 and I couldn't be happier. Don't rush into anything and make sure you're getting what you want. With the way the TC's are depreciating, you can probably get into one sooner and easier than you think. Just keep looking and good luck.

 

poor cobalt,its been raped

 

alright went to barter and i didnt get it. i came in there with the idea of 9k in or leave it alone and he wouldnt go below 10k sooo good luck on that bud. now im really on the hunt for one, under 60k any color but orange and yellow and in florida. anybody wanna sell theirs?

oh and yea my old ls looked cool with all i did but it was slow as **** and all my friends have fast cars so it was time haha

 

so supercharge your LS for two grand

 

haha forget that. i got into researching it because i actually wanted to do a turbo build on the ls and come to find out that the l61 is just a pos motor. also i had an automatic and although i guess thats good for track times, its no fun...

too late now. sold it for a good price. now looking for an ss/sc for around the same price i sold it to keep payments the same.
