Cobalt SS Supercharged

Considering buying. Thoughts. Cheap and low miles. Hail damage but is fixed. Lives close enough i can go see it in person. Thanks ahead of time.

 

Stage 2 ain't no "bat outta hell" but if you can get him down a bit it looks like a clean car. At first glance he wants a bit much... but it's pretty low miles so its your call

 

The only damage I can see is on the hood. I think it looks like a pretty good deal!!

 

asked him about the hood. he said its clean. when i go and look i'll know for sure.

 

That's a good price for the miles!

 

^^^ i disagree if its got a salvage/rebuild title he is asking way to much for it

 

That would have to be one hell of a hail storm to total a newer car like that... I'd check carfax to make sure it was really hail damage that totalled it.

 

do it

 

Seems high for an 05 with a salvage title.

 

It was shipped from another state he's the second owner.

 

Getting another close up of the hood. he said no prob so it may have just been that picture.

 

title aint clean. too much for bad title. lower it to 5.5

 

Way too much for a salvage title. 5-6.5 is more like it.

If he does not like it, tell him to try trading it in. Most reputable dealerships won't even touch salvage titles anymore, and many will not perform recall repairs on them either.

 

If i bought it is it safe as long as the frame and all mechanical parts are ok? I mean if i bought a none rebuild for 10 and traded it in later with 140k miles. not like its really going to be worth much more in 4 years?

 

a non salvage title will still be worth more in 4 years that one that is salvage, if that car was another 5 years older and over 150 thousand miles it would be worth more as scrap. salvage titles ruin resale. you could have the nicest car in the work and becuase its salvage no one wants it.

 

not really worried bout resale if i get it for 6-7 grand.

 

i must have missed the part where you could get it that cheap, the ad says 8,000.00. i would say if you can get it for 5-6 grand its a good deal, any more than that i wouldn't do it.

 

ending up selling this for 7700, with 70k miles on it

For what it's worth OP, I currently drive and rebuild salvage vehicles. In fact, I'm working on an 06 SS/SC with 90k that's going to be my daily driver. As long as the car was put back together right, you should have no problems at all. That said, owning a high mileage vehicle, it's good to be handy with a wrench.

 

Sometimes you can make repairs and apply for a clean title. Sometimes it get cleaned when the car changes states...

 

Its not a bad deal, i wouldnt pay 8 since u have to replace hood and a abs sensor maybe 6.5 to 7 would be my offer if i was not low balling him.

 

This! Plus check how many dents/dings it has. I got a hail damage cobalt myself but has a clean title. I asked for a PDR quote it's 150$ each panel up to 3 dings/dents. My hood is way too bad so I'm just gonna replace it fully, it sells for like 120-190$ on junkyards. Parts like roof/doors/etc can't be replaced so check on those that they don't have many dents. Mine has barely 3-4 on trunk, 1-3 on body and 3 on roof. The hood has like 15 haha

Good luck with your buy. I'd lower it down to 6,500$, then hell say thats too low 7,500, then you say 7,000, deal and good buy.

 

Mine has a rebuilt title, I had no problem buying it. Haven't had any problems with it either. It's not as bad as people make it sound

 

Why cant doors be replaced? And any panel on any car can be replaced just because it doesnt un bolt doesnt mean it cant be replaced and has to have PDR.

 

I feel like that's somebody's on here. Anyways, way too much for that salvage title.
It LOOKS clean. Get a Carfax and negotiate, but there are definitely balts around the area with a clear green title.
