Well my dad decided he didn't want to get me a brand new cobalt, therefor I have to resort in getting a 2005 or 2006 - I have found a blue 05 (arrival) that I really like, but I'm wondering if I should just get a 06 because it seems there was more problems with the 05's... I actually found 2 05 Arrival Blues (Both under 10k miles)

One has G85 with no sunroof
One has sunroof with no G85

Are the 05 models okay problem wise? If so I will go that route.. and if you think I should, which one of the above should I get?

EDIT:
Ah should I also add: The one without the G85 but with the sunroof in 53 miles away from me.
However, the G85 with no sunroof is 800 miles away and is gonna cost abouy $600 to ship.
The one without G85 has 11,236 Miles and is priced at $17,890 (Also has like 5% tint)
The one with G85 and no sunroof has 10,777 miles and is priced at $17,600

-How much would it cost to get a sunroof installed?
-Also, is there many problems with the 05's???

Thanks!

 

Btw I'm pretty much a day-to-day driver.. I don't really need the LSD & I can always get new seats if I want - but what do you guys recommend? I do like the sunroof.

 

well with my car i have a 06 cobalt ss 2.4l black. so with my car iwould like to have a sunroof since its black. but me i proably would go with the one without the sunroof but with the g85.

 

ive got a black 05 2.2 not to many probs, i have a sunroof and love it

 

Yeah I agree get the G85 because you can always get a sunroof installed later..

 

G85 for sure, the sun roof is just a rattle machine anyway.

 

How much would it cost to get one installed?
Also, is there many problems with the 05's???

 

couldnt tell yah

 

well.. its 850$ option i believe from the dealer.. and i have herd getting one installed aftermarket can lead to alot of condensation sp? inside the car... but i believe that its like 400 to get one installed at like a shop... personally i would go with g-85 those seats are amazeing

 

g-85 for sure... i have g-85 and sunroof and i would say the g-85 hands down... the sunroof is the only thing on this car that pisses me off... i love it but it is the only thing that has given me any trouble in the year that ive owned it... the seats are great and when ur flying on an on-ramp doing a nice turn and you are wondering how the car is staying on the road you will thank me that you got the l/s.

 

here, i hope this will help you make up your mind, i just found this post... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums//showthread.php?t=28334

 

Alright, I've decided on which to get, however, I'm wondering if getting a 05' is a good idea? It seems like ive heard they have a bit of problems, is this true?

 

...I have never heard any good things about aftermarket sunroofs. A guy that worked forme used to install them and people had tons of problems with them.

 

Dude! Where are you going to be able to walk in and say "I want a sunroof installed?"

 

It's not a common thing to do. The only aftermarket sunroof I would trust would be if the shop working for "Pimp my Ride" put it in.

 

Ah should I also add: The one without the G85 but with the sunroof in 53 miles away from me.

However, the G85 with no sunroof is 800 miles away and is gonna cost about $600 to ship.

The one with G85 and no sunroof has 10,777 miles and is priced at $17,600 (+$600) Shipping

 

X2!!

 

I have an 05 ss/sc with 17,500 miles no lsd and an aftermarket sunroof(didn't have one from the factory). The only problems that I have had is door panel leather, down volume on steering wheel doesn't work sometimes, and the shift patern is coming off of the shifter. I drive very spirited. I think that my sunroof cost like $1200.

 

i think you should keep looking around for a g85 w/ a sunroof...im sure you can find one if you look around.


get the g85...i know i did and im damn happy i didn't choose otherwise. isn't the sunroof a $750 option?

 

i have a 2005 ss/sc in black with g-85 is worth its weight in gold the
seats are great.so is the sun roof.my advise get one with it on it
from the factory. also no problems next get the stage 2 kit.

 

Ugh I looked, I can't find one with G85, and Sunroof in the colors I want... could someone help me find one? I'll take Arrival Blue, Sunburst Orange, Black, or Red.

Years: 2005 or 2006 (Pref 06)

For around the $17k price...
& Less than 20,000 Miles.

Thanks
