Hello everyone I am new here and to the cobalts. Currently looking to purchase a 09 SS sedan.http://www.texashotrides.com/2009-Ch...01/5741518here is the link. Let me know what yall think

She looks clean man and the price isn't bad

Ricky Schell Feb 28, 2016 06:11 PM

That's what I was thinking. Mileage is decent for it being an 09. It looks mostly stock also. I've always owned Honda Civics.

That's what I'm currently driving
These are previous civics I've owned

So I finally purchased it yesterday. I'll get some more pics of it later today in a new thread. Car is much quicker than I had anticipated. It's running 17psi and when tune is on its pushing about 23psi. It runs very strong and the ride is very smooth. Dealer claimed it making 400 at the crank. Didn't have a full list of parts from previous owner either. All I know so far is it has upgraded FMIC, Injen charge pipe, exhaust and trifecta tune. Also claimed ut has about 4k in the motor.

Nice good buy for sure

Ricky Schell Mar 5, 2016 10:55 AM

Purchased it out right 9k out the door for everything. I honestly thought it was mostly stock besides the charge pipes and tune but this has worked out greatly in my favor lol they had a 1100 whp TT vette for 125k.

Those trifecta tunes normally put down about 310whp. If you want closer to 325 you can go with hpt but it's not a selectable on off tune. You can get 340-345 whp with some e47. Good luck and welcome.

I'm still going over the car to make sure everything the guy said was done is true. So far my only problem is I'm pretty sure it's the stock exhaust still on the car but the piping looks aftermarket. I'm gunna put it on the lift at work and get a better look.
My only future plans for the car for now is the suspension. Money is tight so I might just get springs but I'm rather partial to coilovers like I've always done with my Hondas

RICKY!!! Awesome buy man! I saw that same car, but thought it was too far away from where I live. Keep her clean man(:

Staged07SS Mar 9, 2016 08:16 AM

Clean car. Not feeling the wheels tho.

Snail_SS Mar 9, 2016 10:21 AM

Same here I love it the car is so clean but the wheels idk, I saw it on ebay and I wanted to get it haha

Ricky Schell Mar 9, 2016 10:30 AM

I personally hate chrome. So I may even just paint the rims. I will worry about that after I get that wheel gap closed lol yea was a great buy. I'd been watching it for a few weeks. They dropped price a grand so I jumped on it

Ricky Schell Mar 9, 2016 10:33 AM

It was abut a 4hr drive for me to go get it

blueLNFftw Mar 9, 2016 10:37 AM

Stock exhaust is fine.
I made 400whp on stock exhaust.

Zalador Mar 20, 2016 12:51 PM

Nice car, rare find.

Thanks! It is indeed a rare find or so I have been hearing. I'd like to learn alot more about my cobalt, like how many were made in the srtc and production number. I've been told there was 1000 ever made as SS/TC Sedan but I have also been told there was only 474 made in 2009 but didn't make them in 2010??

Ricky Schell Mar 20, 2016 02:40 PM

Oh and yea snail, was originally priced at 9900, dropped to 8991. But I walked out with the car for 9k flat including the tax, tags and title.

Snail_SS Mar 20, 2016 05:55 PM

That's a great price man congrats, how are you enjoying the car so far?

63 Nova SS Mar 20, 2016 08:05 PM

Loving it! Did my first oil change today actually, prefer to know whats in it and oil life said 29% so why not. I have beat a 2013-15 mustang GT twice now lol but don't see to much of that around here since all they see is a 4-door haha
Other than that the CEL popped once for p0101, I checked, seems fine and I reset the code. Hasn't been on since so not sure bout that.

Snail_SS Mar 20, 2016 08:55 PM

Nice glad your happy man, I can't wait to get mine back

Ricky Schell Mar 22, 2016 12:42 AM

Where is yours? Sorry if there is a thread already on your build.
