Hello everyone. New around here.

I drive a 2007 Cobalt SS/SC with 39k miles. Mods are stage 2, 2.9" pulley (~17.5 psi), ZZP midlength header/2.5" catted downpipe, magnaflow 2.5" catback, RAW 3" CAI, torque dampner, NOS 50 shot, and a few others.

While it's a fun little car, I'm thinking of upgrading to an Evo. I've always loved them and wanted one. I'd be up for a trade in for my car. What kind of prices can I expect? What should I look for? Thanks everyone!!

 

I got walked by a SS a few weeks ago. I was mad at first, then I realized I was only boosting 10 psi


Welcome.

 

I kinda like the new turbo Cobalts....I don't think there that bad.

Between 20k to 24k for an 8....tho if you can try to get a 9

 

FWD... is a thing of the past hahaha


btw there is a ton of information already on this...

just use the SEARCH button...

 

Same thing happen to me with a g35 few months back i was pissed..
Back on topic.. Depends on what year you want, VIII or IX. I say 15-20gs for a nice VIII 20-25 for a IX. But it all varies.

 

I'd say that is a good move! Not that SS's aren't decent cars... it's just the Evo's in a whole different league.

Congrats on seeing the light. Once you get your Evo there's no looking back.

 

+1

 

+2. There is not one thing I can complain about on an evo. Built excellent from the factory, great knowledge base on evom, and the right mods can yeild amazing power. They're worth every penny.

 

damn deja vu again?

 

I like the SS also, BUT I don't know why GM doesn't make the cobalt RWD. Now that would be an awesome car for the money.

Hopefully in the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV8uPVUcZiY

Sorry for getting OT. lol

 

I came from an SS Camaro. Go for it, you'll love the evo

 

The car I owned before the my Evo IX was a 2007 Cobalt SS/SC. Was a decent little car that packed more punch then I thought it would. I was definitely happy with it.

I only put 14k on it, then traded it in on a brand new Evo IX MR. Since then I haven't looked back, the Evo is a better car in every way IMO.

 

Sorry for not using the search feature before posting.. My bad

Anyway. So you guys think I could find an Evo VIII for 15-20k? Everyone I've looked so far have said 20+ for an Evo VIII with 30k+ miles. Guess I just need to keep looking.

Thanks for everyone's input.

 

I came from a GTP. Lots of ZZP mods. Running about 14 psi. There is no comparison to the EVO.... Go for it you will not regret it at all.

 

All I need to do is find a dealership that will give me a reasonable amount for a modded Cobalt SS and I'll be joining you guys in the wonderful world of Evo's...
