Picking this up tomorrow, Thoughts?
FInally getting an SS after wanting one for so long, and before anyone asks, I did test drive it and didn't feel/see any issues.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/5428228382.html
2009 Cobalt TC
69,000 miles
One owner
Less then 10,000 miles per year.
100% stock.

Seems good to me, and I'm very excited, just wanted some second opinions.

^tried it once, what a ride. Lets stay on topic though. Seems like something to buy. See if it has a limited slip doff though if you want to handle the best.

100% stock doesn't say much, most guys put their cars back to stock when they sell it, so u never know what was on there before you bought it.

well in my defense, thats what it did have on it when I sold it to him. Everything else was stock.

He never asked for mod details, so I didn't tell him. Never offer more info up than you have to

"Did you have this modded?"
"Define...modded...did it run 30 psi out of an upgraded turbo on ethanol? Maybe..."

Bought it, car has been good so far. (Only been a week)

Car was 100% stock, dude drove it to and from work (couple miles) only on weekdays. Drove his other car any other time. Was more of a higher class business man, didn't mod anything on it. Loving it so far, just done some small appearance mods so far, looking to do a muffler delete in a couple of days, CAI, and getting it retuned for now.
