#131 of 191 look at cobalt for the next few weeks by chrylsersrt8 Jun 26, 2007 (3:56 am)
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 That would be $3000 in total rebates $1000 manuf rebate $1000 july 4th bonus cash $1000 in instant value certificates   Considering the aveo has only a $500 rebate a comparably equiped cobalt may actually be cheaper and is without a doubt a much more substantial car   A cobalt LS has all the basics including air, gets pretty good mileage (especially with the 5-spd) and offers the MP3 radio for only $150 extra   If you are shopping the aveo do yourself a favor and at least check out the cobalt Replies to this message: flaaveo (Oct 05, 2007 4:35 am) poncho167 (Oct 06, 2007 5:14 am)

I had heard that the mileage for that tiny engine is as horrible as what most of US Aveo owners get. High teens in the city! And yet it is just a 2.2L 4 cyl. But our 1.6L gets horrible mileage to. Although some of you say you get high 30's-low 40's mpg on the highway. In the city...I never get above 18mpg. With the exception of 2 times, I got a whopping 20mpg! Driving like an old lady and carry nothing and make it a long trip in the city, to get that 20mpg.I'd actually buy the last year of the Cavalier before buying the Cobalt.

Replying to: flaaveo (Oct 05, 2007 4:35 am) The Cavaliar wasn't a horrible car by any means. I have never owned one but have known several people who have and they are just a reliable and long lasting as anything else if maintained. If I had a need for a used car for commuting that was cheap on the pocket that is what id get.   The Cobalt is a totally different car than the Cavaliar other than sharing that arguably best in class EcoTech engine. If you look at the top of the forum you can see the consumer rating section where people post commments about their cars and mileage. Around town most get mid-20's and up to 40 on the highway. In a Car & Driver evaluation in July 2005, the Cobalt had the best mileage for its class barely edging the Corolla with over-all mileage at 28.3 vs 28.1 for the Corolla. That was both city and highway averaged out. The HHR shares the same chassis and engine as the Cobalt and weighs a couple hundred more and some people get upper 20's city in that vehicle as well.   The Aveo may not be the best in class mileage for its size, but Motorweek TV did find it better than the Nissan Versa in their evalution. Mid to upper 20's is not bad for a city car.
#134 of 191 Buy now or wait till November by crider3 Oct 11, 2007 (6:40 pm)
Just wondering if current discount of 1K in rebates is good deal (seems like getting LS around 11k should be easy) or would it likely to get better as we go into November ? Replies to this message: poncho167 (Oct 13, 2007 4:02 am)

Replying to: crider3 (Oct 11, 2007 6:40 pm) You didn't mention specifics, but your best bargaining for 2007 is at the end of the year, and especially toward the end of the month where salesman are trying to make as many sales as possible for different commision bonus catagories. Never pay list on any car and use the rebate after finishing negotiation.
#137 of 191 Value Edition + A/C by crider3 Oct 11, 2007 (11:41 am)
Hi,   Wanted to find out if anyone tried to buy the "value" version of the car and had a dealer install the a/c on it. What was the cost and was it really worth it against buying an LS version ?

Replying to: crider3 (Oct 11, 2007 11:41 am) I have seen people write about buying the value version but I can't say much more. I believe there was someone who had the AC installed on that model. It should be under $1000.

Replying to: crider3 (Oct 11, 2007 11:41 am) I just bought a value version of the Aveo5. The dealer wanted $1,660 just for ac. I did not have it installed. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Nov 18, 2007 2:21 am)

Replying to: groverc (Nov 17, 2007 9:43 pm) Hit the parts or service departments of 10-20 dealers via phone or email towards the end of month for install of an ac on your model. See if you can work a 900-1000 deal.   Good luck --jjf   I just bought a value version of the Aveo5. The dealer wanted $1,660 just for ac. I did not have it installed.
