Thx. I called them about that car. They went on and on about how perfect it was.... was going to fly out and see it. Unscrupulous car dealers.... imagine that..

Mind-boggling that 14 months later, they're still trying to sell the car. And not only that, it resides in the middle of their showroom as though it's some sort of crown jewel of their inventory.

You're welcome Henley. I was just thinking about the car today. I was promoted at my work on Friday which gets me a little closer to purchasing a 997.1 GT3 driver.

i really like the Cobalt on silver wheels combo. I find myself coming back to this thread to see the list of issues with this car that Jason posted. I will keep watching to see if they drop the price.

They have. From $124k to $120k I know of someone who offered $95k and was told that was well below their break-even on the car and was countered with $120k. They aren't interested in moving the car. I would look elsewhere. You can find driver .2s for only a few more dollars.

Wow counter at 120k! Thanks for the info. It is not going anywhere unless they get a long distance buyer who doesn't find this thread and buys it sight unseen.

What car are you talking about that was reduced from $124k to $120k, when I see this one at $89,960?

UPDATED: Ahhh, now I see the Vancouver car for the ~ $120k CAN (~$94k US).

I sent this link to the luxury autohaus guys, Kevin, who is a partner there, is a decent guy. If he knows about it I would hope he would disclose it......if not, I would be ashamed....this car is total junk..no question..

Its on eBay with zero bids and a reserve.... Anything is purchasable at the right price. Lets see if they are realistic. I bid $55k reserve not yet met.

Miraculously, the car has been sold. Saw someone driving it on normal BC plates the other day.

Different car? I think there are two Cobalts 997.1 GT3 in shambles? This one is in GA. And has floated around the southeast USA for a bit. Side note: if those are really your seats in your avatar, youre my idol! lol
