#2084 of 2164 XM Radio and OnStar by dispencer2 Jan 13, 2009 (4:10 pm)
I too have a question. If I don't resubscribe to OnStar next September will I still be able to get XM Radio (which looks like it shares an antenna with OnStar) and Bluetooth? Thanks - Karl Replies to this message: okko1 (Jan 14, 2009 4:14 am) dispencer2 (Jan 15, 2009 7:32 pm)

Replying to: okko1 (Jan 14, 2009 4:14 am) I thought it was. I won't be subscribing to On Star next fall but will keep XM radio. Thanks!
#2088 of 2164 Sirius-XM by tsjay Jan 16, 2009 (6:31 am)
Don't be afraid to negotiate with Sirius-XM when you sign up for service after your free trial period. I was just able to get a year's service for $77.00.   I got my free three months' subscription with the purchase of the car, and it ran out in September. I did not renew, and about a month later I got an offer from XM to renew for three months at $4.99 per month. I took them up on that, and that subscription just ran out. I was going to cancel again, but they offered me another three months for $4.99 per month. I asked if there was a longer-term special deal, and the lady said I could get a one year subscription for $77.00, and that sounded good to me.   I really enjoy my XM Radio ... well, I guess it is Sirius-XM Radio now. I have pretty much locked in on the 50s channel, which plays songs from the late 50s and early 60s.   One thing you must be aware of is that the subscription continues to be active after the special deal expires, and you will be billed for the full price for service received after the end of the special deal period. I will have to pay a pro-rated fee for January 3 though January 15 plus the $77.00 that will keep my account active until January 16, 2010. I knew that my three month special deal should have expired by now, but I didn't know exactly when it did. I got an invoice in the mail that told me that I was now paying the full monthly fee. Apparently, my special three month deal ended January 2, 2009, but my service was continued at the full monthly rate.   Tom
#2089 of 2164 COBALT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM by ROCKETSENSE Jan 17, 2009 (9:53 am)
My sister in law has had a lot of trouble with her 2005 Cobalt. This past week the Transmission went out. The car has about 60k miles. Cost of repair (approx $3k) will almost be 1/2 of it's market value. I checked for recalls - none were Transmission related. What can and/or should she do ?

Replying to: ROCKETSENSE (Jan 17, 2009 9:53 am) With the deals they have going nowadays, it might be a good idea for her to investigate trading it in on a new one, even though she would get a very low trade-in allowance with the transmission being like it is. There are some KILLER deals out there, and it might make more sense to trade rather than invest $3000 in that car.   She would have something that is under warranty, if she gets a new one.   Tom

Replying to: ROCKETSENSE (Jan 17, 2009 9:53 am) The new Cobalts also have a 100k Powertrain warranty. I would talk to the Zone office about the transmission. If you have met the maintenance recommendations, bought the car new, and patronized the local dealer they may help with the cost of a transmission. Perhaps also the transmission can be repaired or rebuilt. Don't just take the word of one dealer or repair place. It is very rare for a transmission to fail at 60k miles unless it was abused and I would think that Chevrolet might help you. Don't just turn the car in. It might be worth more on Ebay for somebody's parts car. If you fix the transmission or replace it and can realize the cost when you sell it privately you might be ahead. You'll get auction price for the car even if it is in perfect shape if you turn it in. It is worth a thousand or so to put an ad in the paper.
