Hey guys im new here and im looking at buying an 08-10 Balt SS , Im not new to modding cars but im also no expert by any means lol. Im coming from owning a 4th gen Eclipse and 2 350z's, Just looking for something new and more practical then a 350z. As im sure some of you may know its extremely expensive to try and make power out of NA VQ unless you throw some boost at it. That being said im not looking to go crazy with the balt just maybe around 300-350WHP over time (Isnt that what we all say in the beginning LMFAO), Ive been looking around this forum and other Cobalt forums and looking mainly for common problems when looking to buy an 08-10, Im looking to buy one with under 90k, All the obvious like oil leaks, smoke from exhaust ETC i can look for an understand, just anything that not might stand out in person and taking it for a couple mile test drive when looking at one.

Thanks

Guess i should probably update this lol...
Welp i did end up buying an 08 LNF with 70k on her.
When i bought it on January 2nd she was 100% bone stock, bought it from an original owner about 2 hours away from where i live.
So far in the few weeks ive owned it its already on coils and has a 3in catless DP,
Currently working on getting it tuned thru ZZP
Here are some pictures -

 

Nice. Welcome.

 

Looks good. Welcome!

 

You're doing the right thing and as an LE5 fanboy, I'm jealous of the attention and support your LNF gets

 

Nice car! Welcome!

 

Thanks man!

 

Thanks! Coming from driving an insanely loud/eye catching 350z its actually a blast catching people off guard in a cobalt haha. But you know what they say, its just a cobalt

 

They were great sleeper cars!
