I got my new car, Camaro is gone:(

[FireFighter]

Well after much thinking of insurance and the problems my camaro had(trans), I traded it in today on a 2005 chevy cavalier ls sport. The car is the 2.2l DOCH ecotec motor and its a 5 speed! This car is much cheaper on gas and insurance and its also building my credit up more. I'm 18 and live on my own some money is an issue and I needed a good cheap car to drive. Its rally yellow, loaded. Stick price was almost $23,000 bucks and after rebates and my trade(camaro) Then my discount for working with darcars, I got it for $14,000. I know it isn't as fast as my camaro but its a 5 speed so its more fun. Open to all comments welcome, I know some people wont like it but, its not your car or you money. Sure I know for the price I could have bought a Z28 or an SS but, insurance and gas is a differnt story.

:( I liked the sound of the cam

Couldn't hold out for the new Cobalt? I like it's style better, and the Cobalt SS looks like it might be a fun daily driver.

Congrats on the new car though!

If money was such an issue, why'd you mod the Camaro so much (cam, etc)?

I was living at home!

[MustangEater8251]

yeah living at home and living on your own adds expenses...

but a cavalier actually added up to $23k in sticker?

Holy hell!!!

14 g's for cavvy including trade in deduction?

I'm not so sure...

it's ok to get you through the college, though... personally I wouldn't trade maro for a cavvy. Tranny rebuild costs like 1500$ vs 14 grand for cavvy.... and if insurance was such a problem you could always get liability only.

Cavaliers are awesome daily drivers. $14k seems a little high, I got my new '04 for only $10k without a trade.

:cool:

Hey man, thats cool. I thought you were gonna get a Rubicon (i really wanted to see ya get one of those). My friend has a Rubicon (its huge but I am not sure what he did to it) and my other buddy has a 03 Wrangler (stock).

I only have ONE thing to say [img]tongue.gif[/img]

...As soon as it becomes available you need the "belt powered accessory" off of THIS ecotec ;)

Then you'll have the same exact powertrain as the Cobalt SS [img]smile.gif[/img]
