The fully loaded 2009 by me would be 35k out the door. $7,500 bucks more
then the 2001 was. At that price it makes it a full fledged **** BOX.

LOL! If anybody has a desire to spend that much money on a sports car,
you may as well get a GT.
That car you can drive around without wanting to get a bald spot.

Interesting. Have you checked out the new Cobalt?

I paid $20, 300 for my '00 GT premium. What a great value!

Hiya... I like the Cobalt a lot. The standard coup is a great value. Very
good on gas too. I like them in yellow. I'm not sure what I think of the
Cobalt SS. They get just over 260 horses out of the turbo charged engine
and the handling is quite good. The interior is very nice too. It is
usually advertised as the fastest car you can get for under 25k. Still...
For me, I'd spend the extra and get a Mustang GT over the Cobalt SS. If I
was to get a Cobalt, I'd get the standard coup for under 20k. My second car
after my 2001 GT is a 2001 Mazda Protégé. I would have never dreamed of
getting a non American car, but it was given to me for free by my Father.
Very nifty little car. Good on gas, few if any repairs and was a very
affordable buy. If I needed to replace it, I'd get the standard Cobalt
coup.

HMMMMMMMM using those standards, then a used Yugo (in yellow) would
be a near priceless value <G> And no need to wait for a bald spot
with that one. You'll get it from scratching your head wondering what
the hell you have in the driveway. I'll keep my 2005 Stang GT, over
$25K but still running and the title is in my safe, not the bank's LOL

haha......years ago, I lusted for a new Corvette.....even joined the
owners club.....and wondered why they had such a lowlife slogan as "Wrap
your ass is fiberglass". attended a few meetings and found out
why......and bought a Jag instead.

'Course the Jag was a piece of junk.....and the 'Vette would now be
worth 10 times what it cost. But still think anyone who "needs" a car
that cannot be driven near it's capabilities has security
problems.......likewise Harleys, Hummers, and all those boy racer cars
you see sold at R&M to prosperous pizza parlor owners.

Which old auto writer said "Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, then
drive a fast car slow" !!!

Well, we gotta keep the economy going!

hey now... I drive my Hummer H3 to it's full capabilities! Actually I
was quite impressed with it's off-road abilities! I have beaten the
living snot out of it and it just keeps going! LOL!

First time I took it in for an oil change (which requires dropping the
skid plates, which were loaded with nasty swamp mud...) I heard the
guy yell over to the other guy "Oh my God! This ones been OFF ROAD!"
I got a good laugh out of that! I also managed to pick up one of the
few H3's with a manual tranny! (which is great for off-road). I'm
currently running a set of 33 inch mud tires... which fit without a
lift!

Oh... some of my auto-x buddies day the Cobalt SS's have been really
doing well in the stock classes... in fact one guy told me they were
basically cleaning up!
