New from Idaho barnyard find 2006 ss/sc

Here from north Idaho I just picked her up yesterday didn't drive it much cause of the weather sucking but I got the find of a lifetime I think bought it from an older gentlemen a 2006 ss/sc with only 19415 miles on the clock. It was his midlife crisis car that he was ready to part with all stock all original ..bright yellow with factory black racing strip with the ss decal on the hood. Sit sitting on the original factory tires it came with all other options too including sunroof. Black and yellow leather and interior not a mark on the inside or out. He made me pay for though paid 13 for it have title in hand I own her . I put 2 miles in it off the test drive cause the roads weren't that good now it sits in my garage waiting for the roads to get better cause I want to keep her in perfect condition. If I could figure out how to post picture on here I would I can't seem to find the option to. I put a picture on there somewhere but it didn't want to come up

That might just be the lowest miles of any SS/SC that's not in a collection at GM/private, for uploading pics Go to photobucket, Click upload and copy paste the img code.

Wow finally figured out how to add a picture ..look and drool at my all original and stock 19 thousand mile beauty pic posted with first post. I was kind of worried I paid to much for since the book value and nada value were less then he was asking but he wouldn't budge at all on the price 13 grand good or bad or did I get taken for a few thousand?

Looks like a flip phone potato to me. I think Salvage has him beat on mileage but this is perfect.

I am guessing potato is slang for old cell phone? If that is the case then yes I have a potato I have an antique android phone ..its prepay but hey its cheap...What I lack in my phone I make up for in my car..

13k for a 06...

Bought a 1 owner 08 TC in 2012 for $14,700 with under 12,000mi. Every option but the cd changer. Owner of the car worked at the dealer I bought it from. It was on the showroom floor. Actually test drove it before he returned it on lease.

Also in Canada so we have inflated prices.

Yeah I was worried I over paid for it some but I wasn't sure how these were holding resale. I know kbb and nada are just a starting point but I think at the dealer I would have paid more I don't see very many of these ever in my area and never in this condition or miles like mine. I offered 11 first but he wasn't going for it he turned down 12 and by then he knew I wanted it so I just gave in on his asking price. Big plus for me was he was the original owner. clean carfax 19000 miles documented maintenance so I pulled the trigger to late now

As long as you love it, it doesn't matter a whole lot how much you paid. You didn't over pay a whole lot.

This. I might have overpaid a little for my car, but I'm happy.

it wouldn't have the G85 with black and yellow seat in 2006, and the high rise was standard that year as well. it was only an option on the SC's in 2007

That's what I thought to some of buddies say I over paid some are saying why the F did you buy a cobalt some are saying wow what find. but in my area here in the boonies of Idaho people are asking more then I paid and they have cars with close to 100k on the odo. So Iam happy with what I got.
