We purchased an LS 4 door in March as we needed an additional car so that my daughter could use her moms car for after school activities. The car has A/C, automatic transmission and spoiler.... that's about all the options.
Surprisingly, the keys are fought over when someone wants to run and get something.
The car is comfortable, and very easy to park. Surprisingly, the little 4 cylinder has lots of pep and sips the gas sparingly. Other than lack of storage space for little items like sunglasses and other crap, I find it a blast to drive.
 
I got a really great deal on the car, $13,500 out the door... that's with tax!! I did get the supplier discount and and additional $1500 in rebates for a local car show plus a Chevy cash back bonus. I paid more than this for a Honda motorcycle with one third the content... what a bargain. To top it off was the 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty. What a sweet deal, we're happy with the entire transaction.

Im getting a 2007 coupe LS 5-spd only option MP3 player
MSRP 13900 -
minus
-Dealer discount
-1000 GM rebate
-500 conquest rebate
-4 instant value coupons ($1000 total)
-$2900 in original GM card earnings
+ tax tags doc
Out the door $8950
 
I don't think it is possible to do better than this
for a new car of this caliber
 
Sure it is an econo-box next to the chrysler SRT-8
but I will get better gas mileage when I drive this one and I let my brother drive the SRT
Perhaps even three times as much, will be quite refreshing
 
Amazing though
cobalt costs more to insure than a 4400 pound SRT with 425 HP

9,848 for a new '07 Cobalt LS by delcorbett

I am in the market for a new car and have decided on the Chevy Cobalt. Many local dealers are running ad's for under 10 G's. I know these are for this car only kinda things but I have seen a lot of the ad's from many dealers in Miami. I know I qualify for the GM Supplier price as well and thats around 900 or so off. It is a LS 2dr coupe model. No options, just 5speed ac and a radio with cd player, which is all i am looking for. Need cheap transportation. Is this from your opinion as low a price as I'm gonna find for this car?

Look up your car used 06 on kbb.com or nada.com. Add about 15% or so to the wholesale price used of your cobalt. That should be around your target price for the new one.
 
Good luck

Those ads for sub 10,000 usually include military and loyalty rebates which almost no one qualifies for
 
The ad in the paper in nj is for a cobalt LS auto for only
9495 + tax tags
 
BUT
you must qualify for
military $500
 
and
 
DEALER Loyalty $1500 (you purchased a car from them in the past 6 months and are trading it in on the cobalt)
WHAT A JOKE
 
I am not saying your miami dealer is using these deceptive tactics, but please do yourself the favor of reading ALL the fine print and calling ahead to the dealer to get info/elig on all rebates necessary to get the ad price.
 
There is a legit gm conquest rebate ($500) which you get so long as you have a non-GM product in your household

Cobalt has an additional thousand rebate through july 4th or 6th
 
If you can get the dealer to combine this with
4 instant value certificates (worth $1000 total)
you will be doing great
 
Considering the aveo has only a $500 rebate a comparably
equiped cobalt may actually be cheaper

Is this the best I can do or should I hold out a bit? by delcorbett

I am in the market for a can and I got a quote on a New 2007 Chevy Cobalt LS for 12,500 OTD. I know the invoice for this car is 12,450 plus destination charge, tax, title, registration, and what ever else they try to stick you with. I am not sure of the color but for that price it could be limabean green for all i care. Should I hold out a bit or jump at this?

We don't know what your state is so taxes OTD can run from 300-$1000. Cobalt is regularly advertised for 3000-4000 off MSRP, Putting a good price in the 10-11k (automatic trans?) range +tax and title. Its OK, but not a deal I would risk getting a speeding ticket for.
 
Good Luck

take invoice
1. subtract 1000 consumer rebate
2. subtract 1000 GMAC bonus cash (as long as you use GMAC, but you can refi, or pay it off, the next day if you choose)
3. subtract 500 GM conquest rebate (as long as a non-gm vehicle is registered in your household, could even be your mothers or girlfriends as long as the address matches)
 
Then add tax, title, and doc
 
THIS IS THE MOST YOU SHOULD PAY FOR ANY COBALT
 
If you can get the dealer to throw in some $250 GM instant value certificates (my dealer gave me 4 certificates a few weeks ago, see my earlier post) you can save some more money
 
Many dealers will tell you they have no more certificates ...
respond to them "You are gonna have to save me another $250 (off the above calculated price) if you want to earn my business"
 
Then just sit there and say nothing
 
If they say no get up and walk out
There is no shortage of cobalts on dealer lots
 You will find this deal or better elsewhere
 
Good Luck
 
P.S. I got mine at Lafferty Chevrolet in PA (near philly)
 
No BS painless process and he is willing to deal...
if you live nearby give him a call or email
The owner gets personally involved in many of the deals
