Replying to: seamonkey1 (Aug 15, 2007 3:36 pm) Programs change frequently. No one but the insiders know what and when. However, it's not unusual for things to change at the end of the month or just after a major holiday.

Replying to: grosloup (Mar 11, 2007 7:43 am) FACT: There is no such thing as "Break-in" motor oil in a newly manufactured car. Also, conventional VS synthetic motor oil does not matter if changed according to the manufacturer recomendations- I have had several car at a 3-5K oil & filter change that have gone 160-250K miles....etc. In addition, I have had the same with synthetic oils! As far as a "new" car and when to make that ever supposed oil change, I have done 500-1K mls and the usual recomended 3-5K depending or the car that you have, and guess what- the same long term outcome was the same- a reliable car that had 150-250K miles on it over several years. MY POINT IS SIMPLE AND EXTREMELY ACCURATE- ROUTINE AND FOLLOW MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SERVICE INTERVALS AND THE "LONG-TERM" RESULTS ARE IDENTICAL!!!!! THEREFORE, EVERYONE SHOULD STOP DISCUSSING CONVENTIONAL VS SYNTHETIC OILS AND THE MYTH OF "BREAK-IN" OIL. I HAVE TESTED IT ALL AND THE END RESULT DID NOT MATTER!!!! HOWEVER, IF ONE IS TRYING TO GET 10,000,000,000 MILES OUT OF THERE ENGINE, EXCLUDING TRANS, AC....ETC, THEN YEAH, GO AHEAD WITH SYNTHETIC, YOU PROBABLY WILL GET MORE. OTHERWISE SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME AND THOUGHT- SPEND IT ON YOUR GIRL, GUY OR SPOUSE.   Jon Replies to this message: grosloup (Aug 19, 2007 2:48 am) cmhj2000 (Aug 19, 2007 4:20 am)

#114 of 157 Cobalt Rebates?? by webbe Sep 13, 2007 (3:32 pm)
Hi, New Here, Can you tell me if their is any rebates for the Chevy Cobalt-how do I find out? Considering buyer a Cobalt but haven't decided to lease or the LT or LS. Haven't started negotiation yet.   Webbee Replies to this message: poncho167 (Sep 14, 2007 5:13 am) webbe (Sep 14, 2007 5:33 am) poncho167 (Sep 15, 2007 4:34 am)

Replying to: webbe (Sep 13, 2007 3:32 pm) Yes there are. I couldn't find it on Edmunds but I know it's there somewhere. I also thought it was listed on Chevy.com? Well, I looked in my Tribune paper and it says 2006 Cobalts are $2,750 or $1,000 rebate and plan 1, which is 0%-7.9%. 2007 Cobalts are $1,000 rebate or plan 1 by itself.

Replying to: poncho167 (Sep 14, 2007 5:13 am) Thanks for the info, do you know exactly what plan 1 is?   Webbee Replies to this message: poncho167 (Sep 15, 2007 4:34 am)

Replying to: webbe (Sep 14, 2007 5:33 am) Plan 1 said 0%-7.9%. I am not sure I know what that means. I guess if you have good credit you may get 0% financing, if not it will very. You could also call a dealer and see what they say and if different, let them know you have some figures.
#118 of 157 2008 Cobalt LT Sedan by dad2be Dec 05, 2007 (12:46 pm)
Not too much activity on this board, but I'll post this anyway just in case folks are looking at the Cobalt. I just helped a friend negotiate a deal on a 2008 Cobalt LT sedan. Not my first choice among small cars, but it met her main criteria: cheap new small car with basic safety and power equipment options, but not as small as a sub-compact. The car specifics:   2008 Cobalt LT Sedan with: - Automatic Transmission - ABS/Traction Control (Side Curtain airbags are now standard for 08) - Cruise Control - Remote Start - Body side mouldings   The price details: - MSRP 16885 (incl destination) - Invoice 16192 (incl destination), minus the following: - $1000 Rebate - $500 Conquest Cash - $1000 in additional dealer cash certificates on 08s ($250 certificates, use up to 4) - $300 of dealer holdback   Final price: $13392 + 6% PA Sales Tax + Tags   I think this is pretty good for an 08, especially since it was at the beginning of the month and the car was not in stock - they did a locate to get a car in her preferred color (Imperial Blue) with the correct options. I got two other quotes and both were higher by at least $400 (and these dealer had the cars on the lots.)   The $1000 in dealer certificates was not publicly advertised - they brought it up when I mentioned I would be getting a few other quotes. The certificates were also not available on the 07s - only the 08s. If someone has GM Card points or qualifies for other discounts (military, etc), then they could make out even better.   Hope this info helps if there are any Cobalt shoppers out there...

Replying to: dad2be (Dec 05, 2007 12:46 pm) That's a great deal. Albeit impossible to do better, My totally basic 2007 LS auto ran me ~$12100+ tax & tags in June 2007. You got a lot more options for an extra grand. You can't buy a new Kia, Hyundai,etc.. for $13K.
