Hello from a new Aveo owner
Bought one last night for my daughter as a grad gift. I look forward to finding helpful information on this forum. The Geo Metro forum really saved the day on several occasions.
The kid: 18 in 2 weeks, graduating college next week with a tech certificate, high school later in the month.
The car: '05 5-door LS, automatic, air, nothing fancy but it looks like a good car. The color: Key Lime Green. You won't find it in the brochures or on the "Build a Chevy" site, but you can see it coming from a mile away. The color is best described by what she named her car: "Shrek" Teenagers----go figure.
The price: $12,800 bottom line with discounts, rebates, tax, tag, title included.
The closest competitors on our minds: Civic VP or Ford Focus S, but more money to buy and higher insurance costs than the Aveo.
The Dealer: Chevrolet of Dade City in Dade City, FL. The best experience I've ever had with a dealer (and I've dealt with MANY)and I was able to get the 4.9% 60-month deal through GMAC.
To date I've had good experience with the service dept. also.
The Plan: Drive it 'till the wheels fall off. Hopefully the warranty will keep them on for a few years.
Thanks in advance for any help I may glean from this Forum, and we'll post our experiences as they occur.
