New Guy from NJ looking for some input

Hey guys names John I'm 24 from NJ, So just recently finally paid off my 06 mustang gt with full bolt on's and programmer so commuting in this is out of the question, I commute in my 97 F-150 which in all isn't that bad of a deal but. With that being said I do commute 80 miles exactly round trip 5 days a week for work. Was looking into financing a SS/TC as I've seen a few around for fairly cheap one for 14k with something like 15k miles another for 15k with 50k miles. Longevity wise I do not know much about them when I look at 400 miles a week. Not much will be done to it besides maybe a programmer and other minor mods. Anyone who read this wall your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again John.

Welcome to the site. I have had 2 ss/tc's and I have never had a major problem with either car. I used to commute back and forth between my town and Rutgers on the weekend and that was over 300 miles a week and that car was full bolt ons and an aggressive tune. With regular maintenance I have found that these cars are very reliable.

Also, where are you in New Jersey?

2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, $13,990 - Cars.com
A link to one of the cars I've called the dealer and spoke to them but they weren't even too enthused on making a sale.

JJR8588,

Welcome to the forum! If you wanted for me to run a search for you in your area, could I get more details on what some of the key features you're looking for are, as well as your ZIP code?

Also, if you should have any questions about vehicle build or warranty information, I'm happy to help with that as well if you send me the VIN of the vehicle in question.

Sarah, GM Customer Service
