Not a supercharged 2005 SS?

Correct me if I'm wrong but this cobalt has been modified and is turbocharged correct? Here is the auto trader link.

Well dealerships aren't the smartest group of car enthusiasts. I'm hesitant to purchase this car now, at first I thought it was all stock but now clearly not. And there is CEL.

The price aint bad, a few more miles than I would like, but you could still build the engine and come out ahead

yea have it looked at by a mechanic. Id do a compression test and whatnot...see how the internals are holding up. Check to see if there is metal flakes in the oil and tranny fluid. Thats a pretty good price on an LSJ turbo car lol

If that CEL is something small and engine runs fine that's a damn steal

You're worried about a CEL? lol how many of us don't have cels for something now days :-(..

definitely looks like a good deal, scan it, check compression and check for fluid leaks, test drive it and if it's all good, pick it up
