Want my Balt back.
So here's the story. I sold my car to someone who I later found out got it repo'd with passenger side door damage from a low speed accident in Alexandria LA. It is a 2009 Black Cobalt SS with at least 45k miles on it and Black/Gray interior. The car was converted back to stock except for the following:
Forge BPV
SSTC Black Rims but I dunno what tires it had on it when sold, mighta been cooper RS3s
Painted Orange Brembos and rears with no brembo sticker, orange valve cover and orange power center cover. Car had a BRAND NEW ENGINE when sold, paperwork for it was in the glove box, porous block, but my problem was casting slag that wrecked a valve and the turbo, along with coolant consumption that had been ongoing since I bought it.
I sold it with no tune, no extra gauges but it did have the TRW bushings and clamps still on it (too much of a pita to get out of the car).
If you bought the car you should have noticed the front rotors were absolutely wrecked, smooth but used so hard they were destroyed. I tracked the car alot. Car also still had the upgraded control arm bushings and a powell bar.
Car will also have a southern chevrolet dealer decal on the rear, I left it on there, they did a really good job with everything i ever needed. I will pay cash in hand for the car.
Recap: Black SS, chevy orange calipers, VC and PCC. Stock Interior when I had it. aftermarket headlights on it i think is what the next guy did to it. I know for a fact the car was either repo'd or turned in, I tried to contact the finance company to locate it and they couldn't tell me anything. Car may still be in Louisiana.

Yes. The car is by my friend who is a mechanic, I put it there by hm because a lot of people go by him and it should be easier to sell it. But if you want the VIN I will call him tomorrow and I will get it from hm so I can give it to you

Alright guys, I was cleaning out the paperwork and I found the VIN
1G1AP18X597247745
2009 Cobalt SS/TC likely currently in Texas in the Houston area. Black SS/TC rims, orange calipers, orange VC and power center cover. There was more but it was back to stock for the most part. If anyone has leads on it...I'd appreciate it. I'd like to know who owns it now, hell I'd shoot them an offer.

Try the GM customer service rep on here, can't remember here name right now. She might be able to see if it's been back to a GM dealer or what. I don't know but hope you can find it.
