Yes, again, I am looking. I'm so ******* bored with my G5. I need a DD that has some spunk plus I'd like to own something with a turdbo.

Anyway, is there a certain checklist besides normal car stuff I should look for on these cars? What is a common problem with them, and what options make a car more worthwhile? I noticed all LNF cars have LSD/brembos, at least I think.

There is a 2009 SS Sedan near me that is bone stock, 1 owner, 140k miles. Typical curb rash on wheels and some chips in paint, but its clean






OUCH


$6000 is the price. Whats the $$ range for these cars? Sedans are worth more right?

Thanks all

 

whats your budget? I'm selling my sedan.

 

Not a bad price for a sedan

 

Turbo or supercharge your G5

 

pics/info? my budget is like 5k but less is better Im a mechanic so fixing small things isn't a problem :P

It is autotragic. Plus 4 lug... too much work. Easier to buy a SS

What do they usually go for?

 

double herpderp post

 

the sedans are rare because they were only made 1 year but most people dont know what they so they usually go for the same prices as the coupes. i would offer that guy 5k for that car lol.

 

I have to be a cobalt enthusiast to buy it:

Give me some cool cobalt slang to tell him

Going to look at it next weekend

 

just tell him you know they only made the cobalt ss sedans for one year. and out of the sedans the black is the most popular color (929) were made haha. then tell him they made 15 yellow ones and as of right now i think 4/5 are totaled so theres only 10 yellow left haha.

 

This one is blue which is what I want. I have a white legacy wagon, red pickup truck... and ill have a blue cobalt. MERICA



engine needs a cleanup ha

 

oh ok my bad!! dude when you see that color in person youll fall in love. it has metallic flakes in it. looks awesome in the sunlight! its called Imperial Blue Metallic, only made (136). some polished stock wheels and boom looks amazing

 

Check to make sure that it has the G85 option (limited slip diff). Look in the trunk for the option list.

It looks very clean, unmodified. Ask for maintenance records.. And I would expect to drop in some money for maintenance. CABS, struts(unless changed), Brakes, Fluid changes etc.

I would offer 5 and meet somewhere in the middle.

 

Not all LNF's have LSD. Look for G85 in the trunk to see if it does.

 

I literally just replaced everything on. It has a brand new motor, turbo, clutch, tranny. literally everything lol


but if you look at the classifieds on here you will see it. It will probably be a little out of your price range.

 

ok cool I was under the impression that LNF cars all got LSD. I'll look for the G85 option.

Yeah maintenance is typical. Just nothing major. I looked at a LSJ that was beat to **** and he wanted 5k. lug nut stud missing, dents, chips, locks didnt work, lights didnt turn off... grocery list of things. Front tires bald.. lolol

ty will look. Like I said above I thought they all had it!



EDIT:
I just checked the ad. It has the g85 option

 

see if he had the timing chain/ spark plugs replaced yet, if not offer him $5k. Wheels curb rash looks aweful but you could turn it into a small project. Polished aluminum factory LNF wheels looks really good.

Check for CELs. test drive the car and make sure it makes at least 15-17 psi. If it makes more, its probably tuned.

 

I'd buy that for 5k right now.

 

It sounds to me like a pretty good deal.. I would go for it!
But just put aside some cash because of the mileage. timing chain, clutch etc..

 

Spark plugs hard on these? Mine on my g5 took 5 minutes. I have heard about the chain. what the heck GM lol

You and I both!

Hes on vacation right now zzzzzzzzzzzz have to wait!

 

He said chain or tensioner was never touched and he checked it at 100k and it was fine. He also replaced the plugs at 100k

 

i would still double check them and as far as plugs go, they should be done every 15-20K

 

15-20K??? Maybe if you are modded and tuned.. Stock car, GM says 100k. Not that I would go that long

 

ask the guys on here they will say the same thing lol. i always did mine around 20k or every 4th oil change for me

 

Well. I have 3 people interested in my G5 already. I'm shooting for 5k for it LOL so if I can equally trade my shitbox for this sedan I'd laugh.

What tensioner kit should I get?

 

OEM. never replace it with anything but OEM. I would get the upgraded bolt that (Jeff) mongorat sells.
