Thinking of upgrading. This thing overpriced?

Hi everyone. I currently own a 2006 SS/SC with a few basic mods and have been wanting to upgrade to a TC model. I've heard lots of positive things from TC drivers such as better handling, less "rattles" while driving and obviously much more HP. Although im not a fan of yellow I could paint this rather easily. Just wanted some opinions before I decided to check this thing out (its 150 miles from home). Thanks!

Its true. lol someone proved it with info from a website a while back. Theres people on here with there username/sigs that say they have #3 of 15 etc. I think it is a little overpriced though, taking its rarity for granite. But i believe there is less than 15 now, I think 2 have been totaled.

Yea I paid that much for my HHR with 21k miles. But the HHR was about $5k more than a cobalt new so its understandable.

Maybe not but you never know. It would be very nice to get one of those being only 1 of 15. I'd say just talk them down.

You could probably talk them down some. Or just swap out for the lnf fe5 suspension.
