What do you think of this car? Good car for the money or not?

Sorry bout the double post. For @!#$s and giggles, i went to KBB and it gave me a price of $8,680 for it's options and stuff. How much longer does that engine life have on it at 91k miles?

How low do you think i'd be able to talk them down in price?

there are quite a few threads regarding cars of this variety. Search around the Other Cars forum and see what you can turn up.

My friend has a '97 GS that he got with around 100k miles, all the same options minus the leather and a manual instead of auto. He paid $4000 for it and it's still going strong at 120k miles. You can find one for cheaper, much cheaper.

Too much. There are much better deals out there.

Talk them down or move on to the next one. They are not rare.

Around here it's hard for me to find good deals on cars because of the area that i live in. I drove it today and the only thing that i noticed was when it got to 3k RPM there was a whistle/whinning noise coming from the belt area.

I'll be waiting till spring of next year to get a new vehilce. by then i'll be 21 and my accident will be off my record therefore my insurance will be dropping a lot.

Right now 2006 Cobalt with full coverage and $500 deductables = $14xx every 6 months

After December = $705 every 6 months

i'll wait
