Wassup. Good choice on the SS 2.4L. If you buy it, make sure you get approx $5000 extra financed in, so you can buy a turbo kit and a nice 3" exhaust and you'll take your mid 15sec car, to a mid 13sec car.

for 4k more you can have my ss/sc with 14k miles and well taken care of. I agree rentals are not a good purchase for many reasons

hahaha... you should see the things I've done in the Malibu, 90's Cadillac DeVille, and the HHR they gave me.

check all tires for missing tread...lol

thats about the only way you can tell a rental...ive looked at a few cars that "looked" good on the outside but you check the tires and theres 1 wheel with hardly any tread...

Your 3 gauge pillar looks pretty damn sweet dude. How did you get one like that, did you get it fabricated yourself?

I just bought mine two weeks ago from saturn of troy. I got it for 12900 with 9700 miles on it. I talked them down from 13995, with factory warranty still in effect. Black 5 spd. The seats are in really great condition considering the cobalt leather(fake) seat history. I'm having them change the rotors on it because they were shot. It was owned by a GM tech who clearly never drove the ******* thing. There's a couple of scratches but overall im happy with it. I didn't buy the car for it to stay stock though
Before i bought i looked at the carfax as well as the vin history on it. I think i got a great deal.
