I think I finally found the car I am going to be getting next month. Its an Orange SS/SC with all options (including G85) except for OnStar. When i went out this time around looking for a car I told myself I would get every option so I would have no regrets like I did with my 2.4 (lol Sorry 2.4 guys). However this is the only orange ss/sc in the pittsburgh area with the G85.

Do you guys think the OnStar is worth it to go to somewhere like 2-3 hours away, or even ordering one, and get a car that has it? Thats even assuming there is another orange ss/sc in the state with the G85. The one plus to not having OnStar is not having that pointy ass stub on the roof, I will just have a small square for my XM.

I also kinda feel iffy buying a car that has been sitting on the lot, I know that is the one they probably use to test drive since its right there outside, and its probably been beaten by salesmans and others, but whatcha going to do.

 

I guess that means its useless and don't worry about it, lol.

 

i like HAVEING onstar...the antenna on the roof isnt bad...it lines up with the lil XM fin... but honestly its not something i would go out of my way to get... If you can get a nice deal on it i wouldnt worry about OnStar...i wasn't planning on getting onstar and i havent used it yet... My free year is up in July (it was a roll over from the last owner..) ... im not sure if im gunna renew it...

 

OnStar is for pussies and soccor moms

 

Or for people who want to get their car back after some jerkoff steals it... Otherwise i ave no use for it...

 

all cobalts have little tracking devices in them even if u dont have onstar

 

Cool, sounds useless for me. Plus I heard that they randomly call you asking to upgrade your service of something of that sort. Is this true?

This is the only orange one I can find so I am taking it, lol.

 

only benefit to onstar imo is it lowers your insurance slightly.... but honestly its not worth what it costs.... its like an exta 900 bucks or some **** with a 3 month subscription.. whoop dee doo. i had it on my avalanche but once it expired never reactivated it and never had a reason too. i mean if u really cant change your own tire if it pops or lack a cell phone maybe its for you... other than that its just for soccor moms and pussies like i said

 

I got to tell you being used to having navigation in my other vehicles I think it comes in handy. I got lost the other day and called them and a really nice woman talked me all the way to where I need to go. I would not really go out of my way to get a car that had it, but it is nice since it came on my car. For the record I am neither a soccer mom or a *****...and FYI for state farm onstar does not lower your insurance.

 

I always have a Thomas Guide under my seat, even though I've never had to use it, since I have pretty much the whole thing memorized.

 

some insurance companies will offer a slight break on insurance due to the tracking capabilities of onstar incase your car gets stolen
