07 Focus ZX3 vs 07 Cobalt???

Wow, I just bought a 07 LT2 yellow one too, I like the car and it get's great gas mileage to. Here's my pictures.


And one week later I got lucky enough to hit a deer on my way home from work.




So I had to take out my summer car for awhile.

Deer suck... This season has been terrible for them running...

Well, sorry for the delay in telling my story. Long story short... I didn't get the Yellow one I bought...... or thought I bought.

I signed the papers, got the loan, got the check from the credit union and went to pick up the car when they informed the car was sold!!!!

They promised to find me another one....but couldn't get one just like it. Ended up with an identical one just in Sport Red Tint...and automatic!! I said I didn't buy one with automatic and after some sweet talking, the dealer paid for the automatic!! It had everything I wanted, sun roof, cruise, power options, spoiler.... To make the deal even better, I could buy on the GM Plan. Plus they gave me $1,500 more for my Ford F-350 than Ford would give me. That made me mad, this is the same (and only) dealer I have bought 13 vehicles from over the last 10 years - talk about dedication...I may become a chevy fan now...)

SO....the Cobalt became mine!!! I love it so far! I really wanted the Stick, they seem a little peppier, but I won't turn down free Auto. After the snow melts, I'll snap a couple pics.

Thanks for all the responses, Roger

Good deal Roger! Sounds like a nice Cobalt. I've owned 6-7 manual trans vehicles over the years. They are fun. For a daily driver? Not so much IMO. You'll save some gas over that F350!! Trade-in values always kill me. You can get 3 completely different #'s from 3 different dealers. I typically base my purchase on who ever gives me the most for my trades. The Cobalt is a great little car, but it is what it is; an 'inexpensive' car. It's going to have a cheaper interior, road noise, suspension noise, etc.. That said, I'd buy another in a heart-beat.

went i wanted a new car, i went in planning on getitn a focus. the dealership i went to sold both ford and chevy. i drive 58 miles each way to work and i needed mileage. the cobalt has 100k mile warrenty as opposed to fords 60k. cobalt is $4k cheaper. and it gets 4mpg better. now those are on the models i bought and looked at. i obviously went with the cobalt.
