hey guys I am currently looking into a 2007 Cobalt SS from a dealership.
I currently drive a tiburon but i feel the need to upgrade.
It has 45,000KM and is 12,900. I asked if it had been in an accident before and the dealer said, "Not that i know?" didn't seem to confident.
are there any free vin check sites out there?
i tried the report check of carfax and all i showed was that it has had 2 reports, but i needed to pay for further information.

thanks

 

when i bought my 06 the dealer gave me the carfax for it if you cant see what the reports are try to find another dealer that will give you one like you said sounds shaky
You've seen the commercial

 

will another dealership supply me with a free carfax report even if im not buying from them?

They should cause when i went to first look at my 06 the first thing they said was do you want to see the carfax and that was before i was considering buying the car

 

dealers give you a free carfax before you purchase the car

 

not this dealer haha.
its a small town in alberta canada.
Bonnyville Chrysler is what the name is and they do not have carfax.. at least thats what he told me.

 

Well if they really want your business they should provide te carfax for free thats what you should tell them

 

I'm sorry for you

really, I am

I regret buying this car

 

really??
why do you say that?
ive got a 2003 tiburon right now , i want to replace before it hits 100,000

 

57k miles on a 07 SS/NA

yes I drive it a lot, and not the nicest roads. But the car feels like it's dying

Interior plastics are starting to rattle, sunroof creaks a lot, fabric on the inside is fading, wore a hole in the floormat underneath the gas pedal

it goes on

 

wow i feel sorry for you my balt has 41k and it runs just like new

 

im getting some mixed signals here............ hahah

 

I do drive on rougher roads than most, but I still don't beat on the car


Could be because I purchased it brand new, and have witnessed it fade, if you buy it "broken in" the shock factor won't be as high, if you catch my drift

 

hahah ya. right now i just want to know if this car has been in an accident before.

 

Bought mine at 56,000. It has a bad tranny, Clutch is on it's last legs, Sway Bar links keep shitting out on me, Possible hole in the manifold, Power steering unit died on me(Not a cheap fix). Wheel bearings. etc.
Bought mine last January, Put 30,000 on it in a year and a half. Bought a Lemon I did, as many people are dealing with right now,
And espeically if you have a warrenty issued probelm, Tranny for example, hence why mine isn't fixed. Really preach the Abuse claus, and often don't honour us 2nd buyer's.
Buying a used cobalt is tricky business.
Type in VIN check in the forum. There are people on the site who can look up the vin for ya.

 

i feel your pain i drive in and out of philly alot and on highway 95 believe i come across pot holes a couple times a day but my balt is a trooper

back to the topic ya dude i would try to convince that dealer to give you a free carfax Good Luck
