Advice Please ASAP: Wiil be buyin this Sunday and have a question about a SS & ION

Hey all:

I have been trying to read as much as I can and try to figure out which one I am going to get.

I have narrowed it down to 2 differant cars.

2006 Black Cobalt SS with 42K miles and like new and stock for $11,800

Or

2007 Saturn ION Redline Red with 27K miles and also like new and stock for $10,000

Can some one please tell me the differance from the SS to the Redline.

I am looking to purchase this Sunday.

Thanks

1-Things will fit through the trunk opening of an ion.
2-Ions have suicide doors, once again things will fit.
3-You dont see Redlines at every stop light
4-Thats a great deal on the readline
5-Thats a horrible price for a balt.

Yes i own a redline and love it. i know i made the right choice for me.

Get an IRL... more unique, and its more of a sleeper because the IRL looks more like the ion than the cobalt ss/sc looks like a regular cobalt

both are wrong wheel drive.

If you have kids, the ion would be the better choice as mentioned above because of the cabin and trunk accessibility. honestly, the redline sounds like the better deal considering miles on the clock. It just depends on what talks to you when you sit in them.

Sounds like you're definitely getting a better deal with the Ion but I just don't like Saturns.

You mean you don't like the styling of Saturns? Seeing as its an identical powertrain.

ions also have 17's so that helps with performance, stock vs stock a redline will pull an ss. i just couldnt get over how it looked stock but they look mean with a wing delete and dropped

if it has the recaros i'd get the IRL....if not...I'd still get the IRL. Though i slightly prefer the look of the cobalt.

Does the irl have the competition package? if so...ballin!
