Ron Kawal in Sequim, Wa 98382 - 360 683 9238 or ron@kawal.net - bought this car new with less than 100 miles on it, and now it has 18,950 miles (95% highway miles).
It has never been raced or 'launched', always garaged, and is in excellent condition inside and out. No scratches (except under the air splitter(?)), dents, or dings.
I have the original antenna, body stickers (emblems, etc), and recall issues fixed (electric steering and ignition switch).
It still has it's original tires which might indicate how this car has been driven. Everything is stock & original (except what is noted in the previous paragraph).
It has LSD and no moon roof.
I have a never-been-used complete set of factory manuals (3 books), factory window stickers, and all paper work, including a mileage book showing gas mileage and where the car has been. The car was never loaned to anyone to drive.

$17.000 OBO

 

Ive been following your posts and I thought Kevin was kidding about you just wanting to post the car here because its worth $4k less anywhere but here. LOL good luck!

 

How many times has this car been launched? Lol

 

This is literally the ideal of the last of the last 4 door SS's. The only people that can find value in that are the what 150 people active here?

 

Damn this car is nice.

 

Nice sedan for sure just the price seems high to me but someone might pay it glws

 

I think it's a great car for a collector to squirrel away... problem is it is such a quirky limited run vehicle that not enough people have ever heard of it. This is a crap-ass rental car cobalt They have zero cool factor or looks. All this will surely affect future value. . I paid $8300 for my SS/TC sedan with 80k mi. a couple months ago. He was asking $11k. Not one call in 2 months the guy said. I was the only call he had. I am going to drive this thing into the ground. I love it but most people do not.
I hope this silver one is still around in 4-5 years when I'm ready for another. Nice car. GLWS. I'd pay $12k for it now.

 

this will NEVER be a collectors car.. its a cobalt guys, no one outside this forum/fb page knows anything about the car.

 

not sure you can even get a loan for 17k for a 2009 Cobalt lol

 

You are all correct it seems.
It don't know why I bought it, other than it's rarity and it's performance for the money.
Unfortunately, I never used the performance.
$17,000 was just a starting point to sell, but for now, my cost per mile would be to high to justify a fair offer like $12,000. For that I could probably trade it in and save private party hassle. Here in Washington, when buying a new car you can pay less sales tax with a trade in.
I guess it'll just be taken out of my garage for a short drive every month or so.

 

Can you tell the future?? Will the Cubbies win the world series against Miami to??

Everyone said the exact same thing about the GTO's, Nova's, & Challengers back in the day. Look at them now. Will the Cobalt ever be worth a lot? Prob. not, but that doesn't mean it won't one day be a collectors car.

OP, very nice car.... Someone will pick this up. Don't listen to the kiddies on here. Most of them are broke and living in mom and dad's basement.

imo this is prob true, lol.... but ya never know.

 

Only time will tell if they will become anything later down the road, clean car for sure glws

 

I can lol but I have a good relationship with my bank.

 

It will be worth something in the future, too many times ppl say cars wont be worth crap but then 30 years later ppl are paying out the ass for them. think 60's and 70's muscle. My dad even said they were everywhere and cheap 5-10 years later, he had a lot of them. Nobody cared then, now they care lol

Its just a matter of time.

 

Exactly I'm keeping mine so it doesn't matter for me. I would love to one day own a sedan as well

 

The thing is if you trade it in you're not going to get anywhere near $16k for it.

I would be shocked if a dealer gave you 66% of your asking price. I am not trying to be a party pooper but just pointing out the cold truth. The dealers can care less about any sentimental value, perceived collect ability or anything else other than what they could get a comparable car for at auction. That's it. That would make your tax break not even worth it vs trying to sell it private party. To them it's strictly business.

I don't suppose you're looking for a nice touring motorcycle? I have one that I am selling.

Even if you aren't I am very interested in it and am willing to discuss it via email.

Thank you.

 

I was quoted 10k back in 2013 from a Chevy dealership for my car.

Ford quoted me 6.2k last week.

I like seeing what it is worth in terms of trade in values every few years.

They take a big hit in terms of trade in as the years go by.

 

cobalts and ions in general have tanked in value of the last couple years. i have been wanting to sell my sedan for some time but i know i will take a loss on it. OP has a nice car and one of the very few without the sunroof. GLWS and im sure the right person will come by

 

I drove the car yesterday and noticed that it still has the new car smell.

Have you seen my Picasa Web Album on it? If they won't allow the link below, just 'Google' "picasa 2009 Cobalt Sedan".

This was also for a car not made of 95% plastic and had some historical value in the car culture, also damn baby boomers inflating the price of them

 

I hate to do this (don't we all!), but Lowering the starting price to $16000 may help. I can help deliver if necessary, although I presume one would come here to see the car first anyway. Maybe it's too bad I live in the NW corner of the country.

 

Nice looking car! but more then I want to spend. Bummer since im only over in PA. GLWS

 

Very nice. Wish it was closer, and cheaper...

 

Hey.................it's still for sale!
$15,999 or best offer.

 

If I make a $1000 deposit can I pick it up in spring 2017 at $12k?
Lol... love this car bud!
