Hey guys, I'm going to look at an 05 Cobalt SS/SC tomorrow and was wondering what I should ask or try to check for on the car. All the recalls have been done. It has 190,000 km on it (I'm aware its a lot). Thanks guys.

 

Any idea what that's like in miles?

I'd say do all your standard checks, check fluid condition, suspension parts, ect .

For a high mileage car I would take it to a shop and do a compression test at least, leakdown test would be better and give you more info about the motors health.

Also look around for any signs of mods...

 

Its bone stock. Mature owner.

 

I would check to see if the intercooler pump is working. Listen for any marble like noise in the supercharger.

 

Yeah probably suspencion. All your fluids, spark plugs etc. And a compression test should give you a good idea on what your getting into

 

So like a rattling noise I take it? The owner like I said is mature, and says it drives like new

 

Well anyone can say it drives like new just to sale something

 

Yea listen for a rattle in the supercharger. You should be able to hear it when when you give it a bit of gas. It'll sound like marbles bouncing around. I'm pretty sure it means the rotors are warped, I could be wrong about that hopefully someone else can chime in. Goodluck!
