we did have one black cobalt ss here on the lot but i think they sold it. i can check....

 

Ya well im screwed again lol... None of my parent can cosign for me so ive gotta get a cheaper car that car be just in my name with no cosigner ... SOmething like an Aveo which is pretty close to fugly but would be a good way to get my credit started. I just dont know if i could break down to something that my moms neon can outrun.. Im not for sure what to do, any ideas guys of a sporty car from GM that i can get that is under 15k?

 

drive the t/a man. lol. itll be a wicked streetcar. just get rid of the trans.

 

Naww man i cant drive the TA everyday. Gotta keep the miles off of it so it will last me awhile until i can afford the stroker . Hoping to pick up the TH350 next week or early the next week.. Cant wait bc as soon as the tranny is in the cam and stuff is going in. So late february ill be up and running, hoping for some low 7's in the 1/8 on the jug .

Oh and ive gotta get a car bc ive got a bunch of old stuff except for the LS1 and they are all on borrowed time lol, so i need a new car. So it will help me start my credit to..

 

Hey, if i were you, GM makes a Cobalt SS non-supercharged, that is about 15k. There still 2 door and still look nice, hey just have 17's instead of 18's and not such a big spolier, and oh course no blower.

 

Ya but i seen a couple of them and they are mostly like 17-21k thats the usual price i see them for. I guess i dont really need to get into a really high payment anyways. Also the im looking at the hatchback version which doesn't look bad.

 

Correct, If I had it to do again when I was 18 or 19 I wouldve just saved my money. I dont regret my car as its paid for now but I wish I was saving instead of making payments. Just go to your bank fill out a loan application and see how much you can get approved for, then go buy something for that amount. It will build you credit also.

I used to go borrow like 1500-2000 twice a year put the money in my savings, pay 5-6 payments them pay off the loan. Thats how I started getting credit. Now Im almost 23 and have perfect credit. Not to bad I dont guess, 22 with a house, truck, car, bike all paid or being payed for by me.

CC companies have you by the ***** on those things..

 

So with that do they have to pull your credit?? Bc i know credit inquiries are bad for your credit.. Ive heard that each inquiry like deducts 10pts off your score. Well with this cheap of a car the payment wont be bad at all maybe $200-$250 month W/O insurance.

 

They should, yes. Ive never seen points come off my credit score because of them checking it. Not saying its not true but havent had it happen to me. 19k car payment would be more then 200-250 a month. I financed $12 on my truck and paid $5000 down and its $297 a month.

 

No the $200-$250 is for the aveo lol. Ya well i know when you go 2 buy a car and they have to check your credit, and i was told by my parents that you dont want people checking your credit all the time bc its bad for it and causes it to lose points each time its checked. I would like to get a credit card that has the 1st 6 months interest free and use it for the payments and kill 2 birds with one stone on the 1st 6 months and that would look good for me . I know after that 1st 6 months it gets jacked up to like 20% lol.

 

Your parents are 100% right. If you go somewhere like bill heard, when they check your credit, they send it out to about 5 different places, so thats 5 inquiries. Its best to just get the loan through your bank. Just do what i did, i went to the bank and got a $1200 loan or $1500 and then go buy a cheap car. I got my civic for 1 grand, its not a looker LOL, but it gets me back and forth to work and gets 30mpg.

 

Well ive got my beater car, i dont want to deal with any more used and old stuff lol. Im doing this to establish some credit, so i can start getting ready for real estate which is what im planning on doing later down the road. I think im bout to open up a credit union and then i can get financed through them. But was really wanting to get financed through GMAC so that when the new camaro comes out i can get one .

 

If you take out a $1500 loan it will help your credit. I bank with redstone federal credit union, and they are great. I would try them if they are in your area. I dont think you will have any problem getting financed through GMAC, because i did. I got my 2005 Cobalt SS/SC for 18,500 out the door. I didnt think they would give it to me without a co-signer, but they did. The guy said they like to help young people out with there credit.

 

You should be more worried about putting that TA back together then looking for extra car payments..

 

Im working on that lol. Its hard trying to help everyone out with $$ and still have some for playing. Im saving right now and hopefully when i get the rest of my money from the guy that bought the 60E i can just buy everything i need and just throw it on in there. I know i need to fins some type of speedo sensor or something.

 

I FREAKING HATE LT1'S they suck atleast in my experiences... First first ignition switch, then running hot, then exaust leak, now no oil pressure, I FOOOKIN HATE LT1'S... SO yesterday me and my bro try to tackle putting in a new oil pump witht he car on jack stands lol well we started at like 12 and didnt ever finish.. Didn't even get all the bolts off the pan simply bc you cant get to the FOOKIN things..... Just thought id vent a lil...... Freaking POS.. once this oil pump gets put on im investing in a FOR SALE SIGN

 

Yep, Ill never own another one. Did ya'll drop the kmember? Dont think the pickup tube will clear the pan if you dont. And just think, people complain about swapping the LS1 oil pump. At least its on the front and you can get to it easily. Good luck man.

BTW- it may not even be the pump, had and LT1 I was working on one time that had a good 3/4in sludge in the bottom on the pan, it was tick like tar and the pickup tube screen was clogged with rubber gasket maker. Put it back together after cleaning everything and sure enough it worked like a charm.

 

Well i bought a melling high volume pump so im just throwing it in there so im positive its all new parts .. Well it lost complete oil pressure bc i even took the drivers side valve cover off and let it run for bout 5 sec. to make sure the gauge wasn't BS'ng me. So im hoping its the pump bc if its not the pump then i may have spun a bearing. Lets hope thats not it!!!!

 

Ok, like I said if its sludge and junk in there it will do the same thing..
