ok im trading my LS in for a SS hopefully on tuesday. I called my insurance company to see what the diffrence in price would be and they said it would actually be $6 cheaper for me to get the SS supercharged. and im just like?????? how is that possible and she said she had no idea but it shows the it would be 6 dollars cheaper

 

maybe cuz u have a 2.2 and the 2.0 is smaller. lol

 

yea but its supercharged or do they not take that into consideration.if not then i should have gotten the SS 1st then i though i would have been saving money on the LS but guess not lol

 

Thats Weird Good Luck W/ The New Car

 

maybe they are just making it cheaper because they respect the SS/SC so much!! They wouldn't want to make it mad by turning away a possible buyer.....hmmm something to think about it

 

thats like me. i had a 1999 z34 before my ss/sc and when i called to check out some prices ( 06 ss/sc and an 06 gto) they said the gto would be about the same as the cavy and the ss/sc would be $400 cheaper. some luck huh? on my registration it only says chev cobalt. and when i get my insurance bill it says cobalt as well. i dont think in my insurance complany differenciats between the trims. so i called them and they said they had it listed as an ss/sc. so i said alright.

 

hey im not complainin though its cheaper for me so hey i say switch over

 

Well mine didn't go down but it only went up $2 a month!!! I went from an 05 LS, to an 06 SS/SC but since then I turned 25 and now it's only $70 a month now!!!

 

well, basically, the SS/SC, while a lot faster, is also a lot more rare. in other words... not a whole lot of them get wrecked/stolen/tickets because there just arn't that many to do it.

 

it might be b/c of the better suspension, tires, stuff like that. and dont the ss/sc's have like side airbags? safety upgrades lower insurance costs

 

i still stick by my opinion stated above

 

They do . My insurance card says Cobalt SS supercharged , under the model listing . I dunno why the insurance is so cheap . My prior daily driver was a 97 Bonneville SSEi , and the premium went down 22 bux every 6 months going to a brand new Cobalt SS

 

which insurance are you with. when i got my LT last year i went with allstate. at the time they didnt even have the different trims ( 2.0/2.2/2.4) in their system. they didnt even know what a cobalt was ( is that a suv? is what they asked me)

 

Farm Bureau for me

 

I went from a 97 chevy malibu to the SS/SC and my insurance dropped 1000 bucks a year. I was shocked to hear that.

 

Insurance costs are based on industry formulas. There are fewer SS/SCs than the LS/LT models so there are probably more crash statistics with the base 'Balts -- that's why it seems the SS/SC is cheaper or the same to insure -- unless you personnally have a terrible driving record

 

before you go and buy a new chevy wait for the march incentives to come out. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT 0% AGAIN. this is for real a discussion in gm to boost sales. so just wait and see. thats all i got to say

 

eh i already get the gm emp discount cause my aunt works there shes giving me the number to give them on sunday night so i can give it to them on monday morning

 

I traded a 2000 explorer xlt for my balt, insurance went down almost $50 a month. It basically has to do with the area of town you live in and theft / vandalism rate of the auto.
