New err used car

So I said goodbye to my Neon today for a new replacement.

I know it's not quite the Neon but it's the closest thing I find that I could also enjoy.

They're the lame dealer pics but I'm still charging up the camera so I could get some new pics of my own.

It's the basic SS model so nothing fancy. At least it's got 2.4 liter lol.
Got it for a good low price. It's weird how I sit a little higher now

Congrats Noel

Should make for a great driver. The ecotecs that come in those are tanks.

Thanks! The engine is so smooth. The neon felt like falling apart but she was such a good car to me too.

It's gonna take a little bit of getting used to.

Frank, get the TC version. We can race then I'll still lose lol.

I have no plans of getting a new car for myself. My fiance will be driving a new Caliber by the end of the year, hopefully by the end of the summer.

I was just goofing around driving those cars.

With a little luck the Monte will be on the road by May and the Neon will be put up for sale once I get to that point.

I have no plan of getting new cars yet, used ones work for me anytime.

Based on those pics from the ones I drew, your Monte's got a lot of potential.

Either way, I'll still lose in a quarter mile lolz. The Caliber was ok but the Balt was way cheaper. Internet pricing ftw.

The Caliber fits our future better than a Cobalt does. They are good reliable cars, but a Caliber just has more space. I'm going to see if I can get her to test drive a Mazda 3 and see if she likes those. They look lower sitting than the Caliber, but she wants the height. It makes it easier to get kids in and out of the car.

Get the rt version. AWD would be really nice for winter time.

There was an rt where I went to but I cringed at the price, it was just out of my reach. Overall it looked nice though, it's really a mini crossover sort of deal.

Poor Neon though, I wonder where she's gonna end up. I had her for almost 6 years then she's gone

Thanks Opi, I'm gonna love this thing. I'm excited about driving at the twisties tomorrow, some hilly driving route.

I knew by the time I finished the test drive, there's no way I'm gonna let it go, even if it means having to work weekends again to pay it off

I still find it strange how it sits higher than the Neon.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:43 pm

the SS/SC doesn't!

if you want it to set a tad lower, pay shipping and I'll send you my SS/SC stock springs. they don't drop much, but it looks a bit better

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:46 pm

I'd love to but if I sit any lower, I'm gonna hit the driveway.

It's a bit steep.

So, how much are you looking for?

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:48 pm

I'll weigh it tomorrow and let you know shipping charges

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:49 pm

Wait a sec, did I get this right? Just shipping?

How about a consultation fee from Opi?

Just kidding. Nice car. I test drove an SS/SC once, it was pretty cool. Drove really nice, probably would have been better if I didn't stall every time we came to a stop.

nice car, ya i plan on getting a new car when my neon turns into ashes

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 8:28 am

Word of advice though: don't trade in your car at a stealership, they won't give you much.

Try to sell it personally if possible to get the money in return you're looking for.

I learned that yesterday. I lolled out loud when he showed me my car's trade-in value.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:19 pm

Oh yeah, trade in is ridiculous! I was interested in trading my Neon in last winter/spring and they offered me 2K for it! And that was before my accident!

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:25 pm

Oh man, I consider you lucky to even have a big appraisal like that.

And yes, mine was appraised way lower than 2k so I'm not even gonna bother mentioning it, it was sad.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:30 pm

Mine is an 04, so it SHOULD be worth more than an 01, but still! I owed 10K on it at the time (I got raped on my finance rate) so there's no way I'm going 8K upside down for a new car.

So I still have the Mistress for now.

nice car and color...you should lower it especially if it is just for shipping charges!

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 9:49 pm

Always take your time... Don't get rushed into buying a car.

What year is it?

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 10:33 pm

It's a 2006, a plain Jane Cobalt SS.

I'm gonna try to get some pics done later on this week if time allows. Working night and day sucks.

I have no user manual so I don't know how to adjust the seat yet lol.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 8:56 am

Yes noel, I got your PM and still all I want is shipping charges

Just be aware it really wont lower it that much. Just a teeny tiny bit.

I'll get you a quote sometime this week.

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 7:12 pm

Thanks Josh.

Here's some more lame pics I just took after work. I fail at photography lol.

Engine Bay. Completely stock in and out.

No gauge at the A pillar? It is NA so no supercharger or turbo... for now.

This shot sucks:

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 7:34 pm

Needs more plastic in the engine bay.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:01 pm

You really should have had a few more cups of coffee before taking that last shot!

Chibits12 · Post by **Chibits12** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:12 pm

It seems like most modern cars these days have those big ass plastic covers on top of the engine. Kinda lame and wasteful.

Yeah man I was dead tired and just grabbed the camera.

On that last shot I just realized the front wheels have a slight negative camber angle. I wonder if they came like that since it's good for cornering...

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 7:57 pm

Its a sound deadening device. Doesn't help much, just enough to make a difference in the NVH category.

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 8:20 pm
