Your chance to own a "new" 2008 Cobalt SS/TC

Look at what I stumbled across on E-bay this morning!! This is a once in a blue moon find. For any of you guys looking for a stock car, this would be an awesome buy.

A few years back I came across a 2005 Cobalt SS/SC with 200 original miles, but haven't seen anything this close to brand new since then.

Chevrolet Cobalt SS TURBOCHARGED | eBay

I think this one has been around on ebay for the couple few years on and off. I cant imagine the value drop after buying this. it would keep me up at night.

True true.

That's if you ever planned on selling it. If you were to keep it forever (like I am with my car), it wouldn't really matter.

Yes, that part sucks.

That is true and I do think at that price it would be for you to keep the car not to use then sale. I would love to have it to be honest and keep it that mint, I probably wouldn't even mod it

I'd install GMS1 and leave everything else as is.

The worsted part is only us cobalt owners understand the value and potential in these cars. So many people no nothing about the cobalt ss or even the performance capabilities of the car. I've tried talking so many people I know into getting an ss but it's always been a fail.

Lol my one buddy didn't listen to me and got a 06 Honda Accord coupe(wtf)

My other buddy had a 2014 wrx and had to get rid of it because of a dui and I was like just get a turbo balt. Lol he ends up getting a mini cooper s....

I was at a local meet one time where a guy was trying to sell his white lnf. the potential buyer had a buddy walk up not long after they started talking and said, "no bro, get a normal car". said guy drove a s2000. not that its a bad car, but come on.

I bet the dude new nothing about a cobalt ss lol I recommend the Balt because I know the potential and the best part is the horsepower to money ratio

And that's why going to the dark side very soon. Going to pick up the used kit next Tuesday I'm pretty excited. Anyways I would try to keep this rare cobalt as long as I could. Do you think it would be worth something in 20 years?

Good thing somebody took a nice big drill bit and drilled holes in the front bumper for that gorgeous license plate bracket...


Really is a great car, but $24,000? I don't know


Also never really a fan of red, you get pulled over and ticketed just for doing the speed limit it seems. Have had that happen to me, no ticket luckily..

It's hard to put a price on a 1 of a kind car. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. And apparently 25k for a brand new ss is too much. I however would think it's worth more then that. But you would have to keep it for 10+ years.

He's pretty much asking what the car was worth when it was on the dealer
