So I loved the SS while I had it, have it, but my parents said I can buy my dream car this summer, so I will be upgrading to a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution MR this July. Sorry

But I have a question, how much do you think I can get for my cobalt?

57700 miles
Red SS
SLP Exhaust
Intake
Interceptor
New Clutch and Tires
Clean and Reliable
Never Smoked In
Evo X Mod

 

maybe 10k.

 

Well, at least you kept your car for longer than one year

 

your parents said? So they are buying it for you?

 

parents said I can use the money I get for this SS + whatever I make from working this summer + they will contribute whatever I make from working x3 or x4, depends on how much I make

 

To answer your question, pretty much.

 

8grand since its a 05 imo

 

Thats your dream car.......

 

willing to get rid of that slp exhaust?

 

traitor

 

That's my practical "dream" car.
Everyone can't afford Lambo's.


Make sure you go with Wicked White.

 

seems some people set their dreams within a realistic attainable perspective... not everyone wants to stay in a cobalt forever...

my dream car for the longest time was my evo, and now i have it... next up, a white 2 door E90 M3...

dont sip from the haterade glass... theres too many lips in it as is on css.nub

 

I love evos, probably because there are none around my area

 

^ i like you

 

11 K if someone see's it and really wants it.

 

Evos are sick, and have a lot of potential

 

Are you sure? I thought they were slow.

 

If you trade it in, 6500$ tops. And this if it's flawless. Selling it yourself, probably 8,000$. Anymore then that and you'll be waiting months, if not over a year to sell. And even then, the prices will continue to drop. But good luck. Must be nice to be spoiled and not have to pay for your own car.

 

Same, love the car, looked at buying a new X before buying the TC, but prices in are ridiculous for the car imo. I've literally only ever seen 2, 1 driven by a guy about my age, the other by a woman in her mid 40s who doesn't hesitate to get on the gas and rip it around . I'm considering it for my next car, we'll see what's available whenever I start visiting dealerships again .

 

Congrats Mike - you will own a legend ! BUT - just don't challenge a Turbo SS at the track (see Quote) sorry.. gotta give props to my car

As far as how much you can get.. I just traded in my 2006 SS (2.4, auto, leather, premium sound) and the dealer gave me $7,500 - BUT - the car is like new in and out and had less miles racked up (just about 48K). The dealer has it listed at 13K..Certified/ year warranty. Depending on who looks at it.. they may get that price.. (high) but should get around 11 -12K. If I took the time to sell it on my own I figured around 10K.

The SS SC is a more sought after/ valuable car - however - the mods kill at the dealers because it's assumed (most cases correctly) that the car was beat on. That's like rolling the dice... it would depend on how bad they want to make a deal. 10K for my 2.4 would have been an excellent value for the buyer because of the condition. Selling it on your own.. Just to take a guess... I would say your car with more miles.. and even if it's condition was 80 % of mine - you should still get 10K.. maybe 11/ 12. Just gotta find the right buyer at the right time.

 

i love how people dwell on stock performance numbers.

 

gl bro , last year this time i search for evos with 500 miles and i got 24 pages. This year this time i search and i get about 7 cars not pages just cars. i have no idea where all the evos went

 

Just saw this - can be used as a reference.

It's a 2006 SS SC - stock - very low miles and $16,999. Certified with full year warranty. Price seems high - but - I've noticed SS SC hold on to their value pretty well.

that car will never sell at that price

 

Hey Mike. Stock #'s are the truest #'s - in that - They are the benchmark used by all car makers and major review publications - (although - Not the ultimate potential of a given engine) . Even an average driver with the SS Turbo... can get consistent sub 6 second 0-60 and 14 at over 100. For me.. someone that uses the car as a daily driver - that's plenty of go - and with race car handling - car is now very respected by those in the know. Plus - You keep full warranty and the ultimate reliability.

BUT.. I understand why some (lots on this site) put more horsepower... more power = more fun! And... if the mods are GM and don't kill the warranty then cool. If not GM authorized.. means you have lots more $$ than me in taking that chance with voiding warranty and pushing the car to or over it's limits... and.... if you plan on trading in to a dealer.. be prepared for disappointment.

With all of the different performance bits out there... you have no clue what the other car's have - unless told the truth at the track. So - you are right - anyone can win... BUT.. doesn't change the fact that stock vs. stock (and all of these cars are VERY IMPRESSIVE stock cars) - The Cobalt SS Turbo will beat the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO MR , Lexus IS-F, Lexus IS-F, Audi S5 , Honda S2000 CR , Dodge Challenger SRT-8 , Lotus Elise SC , Subaru Impreza WRX STI , Dodge Caliber SRT-4 , Volkswagen R32 & Honda Civic Mugen Si ... at the track... not too shabby brother!

Agree. Dealers always price high to haggle or hope someone just loves the car and pays it. It is a very low milage example - and certified. They are asking 17K - I would imagine If offered 15K they would take it. If well cared for and with that milage you would be getting an almost new car.
