Reading > you.

And I said that I thought all around a 944 would be a better car. If you disagree that is fine however all the money in the world woulnt get me to buy a used cobalt namely because there are much better choices out there(Focus, Civic, Sentra, and, Carolla) for similar but better cars.

Wow... between Sodak and bonehead, err, bone yard, this thread is full of idiocy and fail.

Good luck on whatever you end up purchasing, Dan!

Reread everything for a third time now somebody explain what exactly the intellectually superior of you are getting that we're not? This is what Ive gathered:
You want to replace your old BMW which you give no history on so you mistrust all older cars? Therefore you stipulate 2 things:
about $7000 for a budget
Less than 50000 miles

You go onto say you are looking at Cobalts and you want to know what people think of them, okay fine in my mind a Cobalt in any flavor is the automotive equivalent of cake flower, not the most boring thing in the world but close. I know a few people with them, hubs and wheel bearings tend to be a weak spot especially on cars that are driven hard. The interior feels cheap and plasticy. A friend of mine destroyed his clutch in his within a few weeks, I suspect this to be his driving style more than anything

For the same $7000 a low millage current gen focus or civic could be found, I have heard of no issues with the current Focus and while its not much more interesting than the Cobalt I can as a statement of fact say the interior is a nicer place to spend time. If its your DD shouldnt it be as comfortable as possible.

i was just recently checking out some cobalts online too..... because yeah i'm sooner rather than later going to have to replace the neon. i'm sick of it.

$7-8Kish brings in a 2007 with fairly good mileage. maybe an 08 if lucky. But......... compared to some other cars I was checking out.. why are there SO MANY used cobalts for sale? why is everyone dumping their cobalt? hmmmmm.

id prefer to find a used car under $5K, but that will mean old and high miles..... need to avoid that.

Got a guy comming to look at the bimmer today for 3500. That will make for a great down payment. As I need to use the gm dollars by the end of the month or they expire.

Still looking at the cobalt. I will never get a caliber lol. Ugly car.

thats what we have been tryng to say the whole time besides, he said his looking for a car with less then 50k around $7.000.
that is kind of asking what i think of the balt and asking what other cars may be out there...
but any ways its your cash bro what ever u do... as long as u happy!!!!

ohh and read a bit about their eletronic power steering before making that choice.
there's a hole lot of complaints from people with weeks old cars.

The calibers are a bit ugly but they're pretty nice inside actually. I test drove one yesterday and I dig it!
