i love the cobalt and of course want one. i was wondering how you all are paying for, or leasing your cars. now when i ask that, i mean are you paying your self, are parents helping, out whats the deal if u dont mind me asking cus i wanna know how realistic it is for me to get one.

I'm a Marine stationed overseas, so I got a pretty good deal on my 2006 SS S/c, w/G85, sunroof, and sirus for about 20g, tax title, license out the door. Plus I saved about 15g to put down on it while I was in Iraq. Insurance I get a brake on too, about 1800 a year for my 21 year old , 1 ticket ass. Hope that helps, I can afford it on military pay which isn't that much!!

i bought an SS/SC with sunroof, G85, side curtain airbags without employee discount at around $23,500 with $2,000 down. My payment is about $400 a month for 72 months, which isn't too bad for me because i make about $1500 a month working full-time.

wolfwood390

well that sounds nice hopefully id like to get this as a first car, i have a decent summer job, not year round so i gotta make as much as i can in the few months i work.

id also like to add i support and thank you for your effort overseas and salute you.

My parents co-signed on a $15,000 loan. I put down a $5,500 down payment.

I'm a 19 year old in my sophmore year of college. I work to pay for the car as well.

I bought it myself (heck this is the second vehicle that I have finance myself and its actually my 4 vehicle to date). My note is $435 a month since I was majorly upside down on my '04 Avalanche. I got the SS/SC though for around $19,500.

wolfwood390

im sorry to ask, but, what is a G85?

hennessey833

G85 package - recaro seats, and an LSD

SilverSS/SC

Mine had onstar , xm , side airbags and stickered for 24, 135 . I paid 21,995 , but was upside down in my prior car , so had to roll $2K back into it . So the lease was based on 23,995 , plus I bought gap insurance ( $45 x-tra a month ) and I drive alot , so I bought extra miles too ( 15K per year ) . My lease is $406 a month with all that . Looking back , I coulda just bought it for that payment

Empoyee discount on an '05, G85 and XM at around $20,000, plus roll over of trade-in at $1700 on a 72 month plan = $405/mo. Buying and paying for myself.

I am a 22 year old electronics graduate...

I work for a local cable company.... i pay for the car my self, i pay for the insurance my self.........

The good thing is i have a work truck and i dont drive my car all the time (even thogh i got like 17000+ k's on it)

amazing to be able to bring the truck home..

BlueThunder2006

I traded my '03 S10 (leased) on my '06 Cobalt. Actually the dealer did a lease buy-out, so I ended up a little upside-down, but not too badly. My monthly payment is $339/72 months, no money down, to own the car compared to "borrowing" my truck for $370/mo. I initially wanted to buy the truck at the lease end, but would have been making the higher payment for at least another 3 years, to say nothing of the gas mileage.

abstract

paid $17,500 out the door '05 cobalt ls coupe with sport package, audio upgrade, and auto tranny.....

parents put down $12,000 since i'm graduating college 2 quarters early as early graduating gift (at RIT that equals about $15-20,000 worth of expenses)...

i'm paying the remaining $5,500 at $127 a month for 4 years....

please no one give me **** for parents helping out....i am 21, my '95 stratus died after thousands of dollars worth of repairs in the 4 years i owned it...i work 30 hours a week, go to school full time, and spend the rest of my time in the IT labs working on assignments...barely keeping my head above water with rent, food, gas, utilities, and car payment at the moment...

05_Blue_B10WN_SS

I'm 18 years old, and Work full time as a Aircraft Avionics Technician.
I got the last Arrival Blue SS/SC within 1,500 Miles (Radius from Toledo).
It stickered for 24G. I had to pay an extra 700 bucks the get the car shipped here.
They also had some "Paint pertection finish" applied at this other dealership (outside chicago) and wanted the up the price another 2G on me. But i was lucky, and my neighbor 5 houses down works at the GM dealership. With the employee discount, title, tax, and deleivery i walked out the door at a lil under 24G. I co-signed on the car with my parents and put 6G down payment. I have a 5 year loan on the car, and pay 299 a month. I have a Arrival Blue SS S/C with XM, OnStar, Sunroof, Blue Inserts, Side-Curtain airbags. Would have gotten the G85 package, but could not find one left in blue (which i HAD to have). And after sitting in one, i dont really like the feel of the recaroes. And the LSD wouldnt do much for me either as for im not really into AutoX racing, i only like drag racing.

Kritter

I got mine with 0 down, On-star, no G85, payments at 455/month with insurance at 137 with a 100 Comp deductible. With my 6.35 interst rate, it totaled to about 32 for the car..23base+tax equaled 27, plus the 6.35APR came out to 32.....My first new car that I'm paying for(I'm 23), and I think it's all worth it.

Mike_42

l337m4573rpyr0

I traded my '03 neon and came out about 400 dollars to the good after what I still owed was taken out.
Got my '05 SS/SC with XM and side-curtain airbags for around 21.1k after all taxes and fees.
Worked out to be 270/mo. on the lease.

I'm 21 and this is the first car I financed in my own name.

TimDang

I traded my 97 SHO in on a 05 base coupe 5 speed, after employee discount, smartbuy discount(~$2000), trade, and 500 down I got it out the door for 13,900, which works out to about $245 a month which I pay for myself. Then I pay $250 a month for insurance with $1000 deductibles. I'm 20 still live at home but work full time as a Service Advisor at a car dealership. No cosigner.

chipsgt

My car, my Money. 05 Base, car was 12,800.00, roll in 5,000.00 from my cavy, I put 1100 down, payments equal 305.00 a month for 66 months.

I went into the dealership and told them I would drive out of there that day if they could keep my payments the same as on the cavalier.

They said impossible, I argued with the finance people for 2 hours, they still said impossible, I walked out, had a call waiting on my answering machine when I got home, that said they were able to work it for me and to come back in. Left with it the next day!
