If you guys regret buying to much, why not unload it?

I regret selling my 2009 Sedan, and I regret beating on it and my other 09 Coupe so hard.

^ Or nobody can get there money out of them, so they end up keeping them, doesn't feel good losing money.

If someone offered me what I have in my car, it will be gone.

I wish I could've found another Vic Red one... but the pickings on LNF's that aren't totally destroyed were super slim, so black it is

Nothing as of yet oddly. But, I barely have done much with the car, and its been solid enough for me driving daily.


Though, getting the itch to start modding it a bit, but I can't decide on what to start with.

that's all i was worried about originally. only because you just never know if you'll get a "lemon" basically.

I've put almost 80k on the car myself, and aside from wear and tear, its been absolutely solid in its factory form. I've been getting that urge to start modding it, now my issue is, what do I wanna do first?

I had my 2010 for all of 500 miles after new when I did that. I haven't trusted the transmission since... 122k miles later. I heard the engine spin up faster than it ever had before or since before i redepressed the clutch on continued on, even after GMS1.

The one thing I regret doing with my 2010 Cobalt SS is putting 122k miles on it since April of 2010.

If you'll indulge me twice and thrice more its curb rashing a wheel parallel parking in Seattle in the winter portion of 2014 and waiting until I hit 100k to put GMS1 on it. The curb rash was just my pride and wanting to pull up as close to the curb as possible. GMS1 was me not knowing what I was missing.

I don't regret getting Cobalt! As long you fix it right with the right parts then it'll last you a long time! The only thing I regret getting is a ******* CRUZE! Then traded back to Cobalt but instead getting a Turbocharged!

Same thing pretty much happened to me. I saw the needle shoot past 7k and immediatly knew what had happened. I pushed the clutch in, hoping to god my motor wouldnt cut out and die. Babied it the rest of the way home
