Hi guys, as most of you know im itching to sell my 300ZX Vert. to get a SS cobalt. Im selling her this week, for $5325 and i have a good amount of cash saved, both of these cobalts are in my price range.. note. when i get the car theres not much "customizing" work that i can put into it, as i am going to school.. so let me know what you think about these two.

why a cobalt? there's defiantly better cars to choose from at that price. why not step up to a 350z?

jpalamar · 04-08-2010, 08:38 AM

I think your an idiot to sell a 300ZX vert for a Colbalt.

fitftw · 04-08-2010, 08:42 AM

I'd go with the silver one over the red one. It doesn't look molested, and it has less miles.

Sberk06 · 04-08-2010, 08:48 AM

350Z or MIATAS are in that range. s2000's as well

but if you have your heart set on a cobalt i like the silver one.

mcperson2k · 04-08-2010, 09:07 AM

I like the red one, but put the stock wheels back on it. Of course the black one is the nicest though.

Yo my friend is selling an all blacked out ss!! let me no if u want pics.

mbeem546 · 04-08-2010, 09:48 AM

screw all ya for bashing the cobalt i love mine.. its a great car. Kid go with the silver one is has the g85 package limited slip and recaro seats and has less miles. then go to zzp and get the stage 2 kit http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...=756&catid=188 ... its cheap and youll be pleased and have a pretty quick car.

lownslow95 · 04-08-2010, 10:05 AM

I'd go with the red one because it doesn't have some pep boys trash can muffler on the back of it.

sean3 · 04-08-2010, 10:11 AM

Does the red one have the G85 package? Car is totally worthless without it.

CobaltSSChick · 04-08-2010, 10:11 AM

Silver!!...I sold mine back in January and it sold in less than a week on my bfs car lot, what she used to look like:

unfortunately a large majority of Cobalts that I've seen can't ever seem to stay away from Pep Boys haha

lownslow95 · 04-08-2010, 10:14 AM

Yeah, I don't know why. Every time I go past there, there is an SS sitting in the parking lot.

I'd stay away from the 03-04 350z to many little things are wrong with them. It gets tire feathering on the front tires an there known for oil consumption.

Honest_Bob · 04-08-2010, 12:31 PM

Nicks. That car is very well cared for.

Little harsh but why would anyone want a cobalt? Sure they are fast little cars but ugly as sin.

itsSTock69 · 04-08-2010, 02:26 PM

Looks are subjective, thats why. I don't think they look much, if any, worse than the rest of the cars they were designed to compete with. And, as was said, they are fast and handle well for what they are. VERTZX, if you do decide to go with one of the Cobalts shown, choose the silver one, the g85 package is well worth it.

yes pics or a link would be great. im definately not getting a 350z/s2k/miata the main reason im getting rid of the Z is the lack of seats.. i neeed something practable and reliable. im gonna have to call the guy with the red one to se if it is in fact a g85. does the limited slip make that MUCH of a difference??

4cylpro · 04-08-2010, 03:40 PM

Ight I'm going to have him come over so we can get a resent pic of it. It's such a nice car and pulls hard!! I'll have a picture for you by the latest of tomorrow. It's the recaro package. He has stage 2, lowering springs( can't remember the brand name) injen cold air intake, vibrant header/ down pipe, GMPP exhaust, hurst short shifter, exedy cluch, new wheels( can't remember the brand name), tint, aftermarket headlights, darkened taillights. If I think of anything else I'll let you know!
