what u guys think i went over to the dealer today and they had a 07 laser blue G85 package

i think im going to trade my 06 ss/sc and 98 Z24 for the 07! im going back tomorrow to talk some #'s and see what there going to do for me

anyways i just wanted to no what u guys think about this idea?


the 07 comes with polished rims g85 sunroof side airbags xm ratio and the indash cd player with 260 watt stereo

 

il wait for the ss\tc

 

? ss/tc

do u mean turbo

and i like the supercharger

 

Personally I think you are wasting your money, but to each his own. You are trading in two cars to get a 6-disc cd changer and a auxillary input.

 

If you are going to do this trade just wait for the 08s

 

my Z24 anit going to sell i had it f/s now 3 month not one phone call
and i plan on striping out a few things to sell off like the stereo

btw the 07 is g85 package and this is why i wanted to trade mine in

 

by then the cobalt wont be worth as much and the Z24 will be alot less as well

 

I would never trade two cars in to get something I already have unless I have money to burn! Which I do not. 2 cars are always better then one. That way you can limit the mileage on your SS/SC.

 

use www.gmbuypower.com to do an inventory search for an 06 SS/SC with the G85...there is a $750 incentive, and they will really want to get rid of the "new" unsold 2006 models. Especially if you hit them at the end of the month.
I expect you could get under invoice for a "new" 2006.

 

ya i saw a few 06s but the 07 gos for 800 too 1000 bucks more so im not to worryied about that

and to ss4me i dont drive the Z24 i dont have money to insur both cars
there was about a inch of dust on it when i picked it up

i will keep u update cause tomorrow im going back to the dealer to see what there going to do for me

 

so your basically trading in the current ss s/c for lsd, leather, 6 disc cd changer and some chrome rims? sounds kind of worthless other than the lsd part which will drop you a few tenths but you can probally get that put in, i know for my vehicle lsd is only like $200ish so yours cant be far from that.

sell the cavalier on ebay or craigslist.com im sure someone will buy it there.

 

Personally that makes no sense to me but it's your money.

 

F@#k it then. Trade it in.

 

I think thats the dumbest Idea ive ever heard of. the wheels you can buy them, the radio you can upgrade to a better one. I mean thats so dumb your wasting your money. It would be another story if the 07s were turbo.

 

Ours is not even close to that. It's like $1,500.

I agree with everybody else, seems like a bad idea to take the loss on your 06 just to turn around and get a 07.

 

I like the idea. Be sure to trade in the 07 and get an 08 when they come out too. Always have that new car smell!

 

I would just buy the lsd outright - a lot of money up front, but will save money on finance charges in the long run.

 

I got $3,400 off my "new" 2006, last day of the month, side air bags, 6-disk, G85, Onstar, etc.. But I needed a car now! If I aleady had an SS I would wait for the turbo before I upgrade.

I'll be thinking about trading in my current SS for the 260 HP SS or Sky with 2.0 turbo motor, direct FI, dual scroll turbo, etc. The Solstice GXP/Sky Red Line with that motor will do mid to low 13s in the 1/4 stock and they are about 2900 pounds. The turbo spools amazingly fast. The stock fuel system can handle 340 horsepower, so just turn up the boost and/or get a larger turbo and you're there with a reflash.

GM is dropping the supercharged Ecotec in a year or two and replacing it with the turbo 2.0L all around for the Chevys/Saturns. There have even been turbo-charged SS HHRs running around!

Here is the info on the motor:

Guys don't start the turbo vs S/C war again, the new turbo 2.0L will totally kick the old 2.0L S/C's ass up and down the street all day.

 

Im suprised you can't sell your z24.....

I just sold my 00 Z24 with 96k on it last week for $4000. It had some minor dents, and blemishes, a non working drivers power window, and needed new tires. I had like 30 individual people call on it.

DO NOT, trade your cavalier and SS/SC for a new one. I guess if you really want to, its up to you, but I personally would not. If anything, Id just sell both cars, and get something else that your interested in. Save some cash, sell both, and upgrade to something else.

 

I had no issues selling my 01 Z24 either. Near flawless paint and had a few mods left on it. Had offers and it was snatched up real quick.

 

Turbo Cars Are Ftw!

 

How much are you selling your cav for? Maybe you are asking too much. I just sold my 99 z24(Bodykit, rims, etc) for $6000 and my phone wouldnt stop ringing. Maybe you need to change your strategy. Otherwise, if the g85 and the other options are that important to you, go for it. It sounds like you're regretting getting yours without any options and nobody likes to live with regret.

 

Is there even any concrete evidence that shows that the 08s will be turbo?

 

well my Z24 needs paint haves illegal seat belts there 4point cant cert car with that
dealer going to fix all this for me to cert so they can resell

i was trin to get 8000 grand cdn for it prob why cant sell it dealer going to give me 4,600

dealer giving me 150 gm floor mats and close to 1800 off the 07

so all in all this whats going to happen

i trade in both cars i get a 07 with G85 which i want and pay an extra 20 bucks a month
which i think sounds far cause idc about the Z24 to much cause i just want to get rid of it

 

Im with BradyB on this, I already have a 06 screw the 07 wait for the 07 Solstice GXP. Turbo, 260 HP, RWD!!! This will be a fast car that you can drift in to if you want. Try drifting in a FWD 07 cobalt. I love my cobalt, but that GXP is sick. Check out this link to RK Sport to see the bada$$ ground effect kit you can get for the Soltice.
