$16,976 is what I paid for, not $17,976. Sorry for my mistake. Smogdung, the sticker was $21,240. David Chevrolet discount was $2,264 and the rebate was two $750s and one $500 or 4.9% financing.   It's a brand new yellow 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged. The interior is leather, black with yellow inserts. The only option is the sunroof. Replies to this message: smogdung (Feb 18, 2007 6:18 am)

Replying to: exzur2071 (Feb 17, 2007 2:11 pm) I think ya stold that thing from GM! I've used close to $10K in GM card rebates on top of other rebates/ negotiations with GM....at the start of the program you could accumulate $1K / year ..& accumulate up to $7K instead of the $3.5 current max. The first time I used it when I ordered my son's Sunfire GT (there were none yet in KC area), I even used the card to put down $2K at the dealership to order it (use of card at dealership doubled % rebate to 10%), they were so confused that by the time the car arrived the rebate from the down payment was available to put down on the purchase!   What kind of MPG you get with the 2.0L Supercharged engine? You ever drive just normal?

On top of all the discounts, the $2,264, two $750s and one $500 mention on my other post, was $986 GM Master card rebate.   It has been snowing with temperature below freezing point here in the Buffalo area since I got the car last January 31st.   The car comes with Pirelli Pzero summer tires which is not good on the snow.   I have just driven the car for 51 miles.

#72 of 157 Looking for advice before I go to the dealership by tornabrupt Feb 18, 2007 (9:16 pm)
I am going to be trading in my truck. Another dealer has already offered me a trade in value of 12,500. Assuming I get the same at a Chevy dealership what should be my target price for a 2007 Cobalt LT Coupe, or a 2007 LS Coupe (If I get the LS I would probably add a feature or two). Automatic btw. I really would like to make it out of the dealership paying less than $2000 on top of my 12,500 trade in value, OTD. I've never had this high of a trade in value before...is this more or less leverage for me? Thanks.

If I were you, I would go to several dealers, negotiate a rock bottom price with no trade-in. Then get your trade into the picture.   Early in Novewmber, I went to a Vokswagen dealer to negotiate a price for a Volks Rabbit with my 2001 Aztek as the trade. The offer was $3,000.   When I was negotiating the price of my Cobalt SS supercharged in the last week of January, David Chevy Pontiac in Nigara Falls, NY offerd me $6,500 for the same car the Volks people want for 3,000 bucks.   However, I decided to keep the Aztek, because the car has served me very well in foul and lousy winter weather here in the Buffalo region.   Good Luck.

The weather has started to get better now. Smogdung, could you please tell me the proper way of breaking in a new car. Replies to this message: grosloup (Feb 21, 2007 3:32 pm)

Replying to: exzur2071 (Feb 21, 2007 11:35 am) It's best to drive conservatively for the first few hundred miles, and to avoid running the engine at constant speeds for extended periods. Don't jump on the Interstate and set the cruise control on 65 for the next 300 miles, and don't run any drag races until the engine and trans are properly broken in. I usually try to change the oil and filter at between 800 and 1000 miles, then just drive normally from there. I've been doing it this way for over 30 years, and haven't had one let me down yet...

grosloup, I am following your advice. So far the car is doing pretty good. Is it not too early to change the oil and filter between 800 and 1000 miles?   Thanks.
