YELLOW_REVOLUTION

Ok everyone i want as many opinions as well as ideas as to whether or not this is a good idea or whatnot. heres the story.

I just bought my car not even 8 months ago.
The dealer will buy mine out.
i take it thats that with mine

2005 Cobalt SS/SC
60000 miles
yellow with yellow and black interior.
all original bone stock
gunmetal wheels
no bad history from carfax
pics





wheels are ALL like this.


All tires have new tread






the car is priced at 12795 at the dealer 12900 on the net.
i currently pay 275 a month for my 15000 loan on a new car, what kind of numbers am i looking at with the used.
great credit
no down payment,
is this even a good idea?

YELLOW_REVOLUTION

22, married, multicar, home, and wedding rings so all together now i pay 97 for everything

before all that happened in the past 6 months i was at 200 alone for my car

If it won't financially hurt you and the car appears to be fine then go for it!! How many miles are on the car you have now?

Sounds good but are you gonna the value of your car with everything you have done to it?

YELLOW_REVOLUTION

gonna get the value, my bad

YELLOW_REVOLUTION

i owe 13, they said theyd pay it out idk why... thats the second dealer thats offered that to me, and it makes me think that when chevy said mine was 1 of 5 in this color combo with all ebony interior and 5 spd, i might be missing something. and they said the interior was ok because it was tastefully done.

thats cool. i say go for it

dude you dont have the G85 option.. Thats the same as buy a 2.2 IMO

DingoAteYerBaby

Hate to say it but I think without the G85 you'll be disappointed after the newness wears off.

SI FTL

i wouldnt trade a new car on a used one unless i had payment trouble. And, besides that.. Sssc's are SOO 2007... Haha

fballman1987

they pay it off, they all do, its the value of your trade in, for example, you owe 10k the dealer gives you 8k as a trade in, theres still 2k thats left over, of course they are paying it off for you, but it gets rolled into whatever car you buy. so say you buy the ss/sc for 13, they have to put the 2k from the other loan in there so you now pay 15k for the ss/sc, i believe thats what they are trying to do here to you, its called equity(or in this case negative equity since you rolling a payoff amount into another loan), do this too many times and you will get denied many things you apply for.

Obviously the SS/SC vs a 2.2 is going to perform better...

Yeah I'd get the SS/SC, and believe it or not (well for me anyways) the insurance of the SS/SC didn't seem to really be any different from the quote I got on a 2.2L coupe... before I remembered about the SS/SC....

But.... It's going to come down to what you can afford. If you're going to get raped on a trade in, and end up owing alot just to get the SS/SC, financially speaking I'd say just hold on to the 2.2. But that's just my .02

If you can afford it... Go for it...


... That's right I forgot the G85 offers like 100hp?????

So he doesn't get a LSD, plus the recaros....

I opted not to get the G85 when I picked up the lease on my SS/SC just because I wanted the two tone interior which I think looks way more appealing vs the G85...

DingoAteYerBaby

If all you're going to do is a ricer flyby or roll on the freeway you won't miss the LSD, but if you intend to take corners or race, you will.

All I'm saying is, without the G85 it will feel like a fast 2.2. The LSD makes it feel like a whole different car.

joemama

see Dingo speaks the truth.


If your looking to just cruise it and never race then go for the no G85. And for you who didnt get the G85 how about we race with my g85 against your sweet looking 2 tone interior

I would just keep your car and save until you can buy a SS/SC or maybe a SS/TC that has lower miles. Your car is still so new that you are better off keeping it for a while. Plus, when you go from new with low miles to used with higher miles you are going to have more problems that will come up. Also, 60,000 miles on a sporty car can be a lot depending on who owned the car before you. Just sleep on it for a night or seven and make sure you can afford the car and anything that might happen to it.

And, for me at least, the LSD isn't an option. I wouldn't buy a SS/SC or SS/TC with out it.

joemama

thanks marcus he knows whats up too

SS4EVER

A stock G85 Cobalt SS/SC vs a stock SS/SC with equally skilled drivers are going to get same results, yes... it's easier to launch with an LSD vs w out an LSD but in a straight line, with the same road conditions there will be little or no difference.

The LSD will certainly help in the corners, of course.

Oh and in 7 months I'll be driving a SS/TC anyways w LSD AND a two tone interior, the way it should have been with the SS/SC...

rukkee

an ss/sc without LSD is like a fast 2.2 lol? Hahah are you serious ?

SS4EVER

.... :lol According to them... Hahah non G85 SS/SC = 2.2.... Now let's spread the news on css.net...


..... right.......
