That looks like a nice car with low km's and a good price. As long as the title checks out OK I think its a good buy.

Its really easy to drive a stick on these cars. Just start off in a parking lot and get used to the clutch.
I love manual transmissions in my cars.

Everyone is welcome on here. Some don't even have cobalts.

There is a lot of differences from an SS superhcarged car. And a fair amount of difference between it and an SS non-supercharged.

Smaller/less powerfull engine. No rear disc breaks. Less sporty suspension.
For the price though its hard to beat that LS you are looking at.

There is still a good aftermarket where you can upgrade the lacking parts for pretty cheap.

thanks Red2.4SS for all your help, I will do a good look in the car and let yous guys know what happen I am not wanting to get a lemon, but later after I get the Car I want to customize for my look and feel. I have seen some of the help area and seen what people have done I more worried about the shifting and the cost of repair being that I have always driven and automatic, I was also wanted to know about automatic starters for a standard car is it passable to add one to this car and how could I be looking at?

Update

Hey Guys here is an update, I have seen the car and have done a Vehicle information Package and everything looks very good, the only thing left is to find a mechanic to do a full inspection on the car. I was told that the car was stolen and then recovered by the Insurance and they are selling though a dealer, so I hoping everything looks and is good if its mine.

Her are some photos I had taken:http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p...view=slideshow
