2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Ss Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Jordan, Minnesota, United States
|
The 2009 Cobalt SS at hand is fun to drive and has the means of embarrassing a lot of other cars that are thought of as more capable. With it's Turbocharged engine and manual transmission it is a brilliant medium between fuel efficiency and sport power, averaging about 26 mpg combined highway and city driving in my own experience. The exterior is a shy blue only seen in true sunlight, whereas in the low light it almost looks black. The whole car consists of all but two factory installations. The two aftermarket purchases were of the exhaust system and the 18" Enkei rims. The rims add a nice touch of color with a red pinstripe around the outside wall. Likewise, the exhaust upgrade adds its own color with a distinctive exhaust note that is not overbearing but still roars when you want it to. There are only two true flaws with the vehicle. One is a scuff on the rear passenger rim from the previous owner which is pretty hard to notice and could probably be touched up. The second is the tire pressure sensor is not working on one of the tires which I found to be a common problem with some GM vehicles of this year. Other than those two problems the car is in superb condition. Another item for your consideration is the relatively low mileage on the vehicle. It sits at around 61,000 miles. However I switch between the cobalt and another vehicle as my daily driver so it is subject to change. I originally got the car from another private seller who had bought it used. I am the third owner and as far as I know it has never been smoked in. That's all for now. If you have any questions, ask away. Thanks for your time.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
