Replying to: delcorbett (Jun 19, 2007 10:08 pm) 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

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?

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 |

| I do have one advantage in that I can go anywhere to buy the car meaning I work for a Airline so I can travel to further dealers to speck the lot. Have not dune it yet but I am thinking of it. Those ad's for the sub 10K cobalts in Florida did not mention the military discount. Potamkin chevy is running the ad along with a few others to try to compete. | |
| Where do you get those instant rebate coupons? It seems like those can be stacked( $250 x 4). Do these work with the GMS discount? I'm looking to get the cheapest automatic car for my son( he also just graduated from college, so there may be a discount in there too). So what do you think a mid level Cobalt would go for in So. Cal? Must have auto, air, and 6 cd player/mp3. Thanks in advance. | |

I confirmed today that the instant value coupons ended when the $1,000 july 4th bonus cash came out. So they are not applicable any longer Here is an example of an ad in NJ Cobalt LS 4 Dr MSRP 14770 only option is auto as far as I can tell includes -1000 factory -1000 bonus ( must finance through GMAC, but can pay off anytime) -500 conquest -500 military 10,779 plus tax and MV with a 5spd this deal would have been about 800 less also I don't know if 6cd changer is avail on LS mine only had single disc with MP3 as option |

Call the dealer, if he agrees to this price then don't hesitate to buy.... any reputable dealer will email you an itemized quote upon request Invoice - 1000 regular rebate - 1000 GMAC Bonus Cash - 500 Conquest Add state sales tax and MV/DOC If you are military you get another $500 but most won't Also you may get some dealers to go into holdback (sell below invoice) but I have found that for whatever reason GM dealers rarely do. If you don't mind the crank windows the LS is where your best value lies. Get a pair of $20 floor mats at wal-mart or pep boys and you are ready to go. |
