Test drove SS today!(good review)

CARFAGNO CHEVROLET
1230 E RIDGE PIKE
PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA 19462-0530
Phone: (610) 275-0507
Fax: (610) 275-4828
(Ask for Tom if serious buyer, in used lot across street)

Well let me see me and my friend went up to see it, it was right out front, Arrival Blue Metallic, all ebony interior, it was dirty and still on wrapped up, but still stands out nice. The trunk is pretty heavy to open(wing), sound system is very good!, turning lanes or merging is hard, that side window is very small, and about the only flaw. It has a lot pep in 2nd, yea first is kinda short. Exhaust sounds great, can hear the whine with windows down. It is a really smooth ride, steering is very good. It was getting dark out as driving, and guages looks good, it is like a red and white lights threw out whole dash and center. Dont think i got too close to redline(salesman was a little scared i think), but still happy with power i received threw driving it. ANY questions you guys might have, just ask me, i went threw the whole car inside out just to check it out, i was so excited to see, if it didnt have all the options, i would own it!

I'm surprised the dealer let you test drive it? Most aren't. They don't want people hotrodding them, putting miles on them, then they have to sell them as "used". The dealers out here by me won't just let anyone hop in them, depending on the car and they usually must personally know you. The lesser expensive ones or not in-demand vehicles they are not concerned about. I'm confused, it had too many options on it therefore you didn't want it? A car with that much performance for such little price is such a steal AND an investment.

$23,410.00 did not buy, he let me drive it, plus even my friend on the way back to dealer, cause i came up there with my order papers from my other dealer, i said i am sick of waiting to drive one or even see one, he understood, let me take it for a spin, a good 15 min spin. it has side air bags, and both antennas on roof, i dont want either of onstar or xm, and plus it didnt have the blue inserts which i want, even thought it does look clean and good with out, i really just wanted to see what it had, i guess more jealous waiting comes for me now, i want it, but cant afford that one, tax and tags on the $23,410.00, too much for me right now. I am only 21

As long as the title isn't transferred, they can still call it new. Mine had 97 miles on it (saw tell tail signs of where a vinyl sticker might of been on top of windshield, think it might of been one of those 75 in PA for launch). They're explanation was that they had people in test driving it everyday since they got it, but wasn't a demo...

$23,410 is a great price with all those options, about $500 less than what I payed and I don't have OnStar, XM, or the side-curtain airbags

That's cool then. You showed papers that you were buying one. Can't live w/o the XM though. Had it in my Cavi and house. Spoiled with it. No OnStar though. Not now. Maybe in my next car. The person who said their car had 97miles on it. I wouldn't have bought it. Never buy a new car with that many miles on it. Just the way I am. But, I'm sure its been good to you.

I went there today and test drove that same car. I was thrilled with it!! I don't want that one however because I don't want the onstar, but I want the performance package. One thing paying a visit to the dealer helped me do was decide on the color, I'm sure that blue is the color for me.
