O'Fallon, Illinois, United States


For sale is my 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. Only reason I am selling is because I want to go back to a truck. I am the second owner of this vehicle. When I bought the car it had 84,000 miles on it with all of the aftermarket things already done to it. Since I have owned the vehicle it has been nothing but a great dependable car that I drove to and from work. The car currently has 98,500 miles on it and drives like new. (The mileage will go up slightly by the auctions end)This is a very smooth fun to drive low maintenance car that averages around 30 mpg. Car features keyless entry with power locks and windows. Clear Title in hand!!!

Exterior: This "blacked out" cobalt includes aftermarket headlights, aftermarket black tail light covers, black Chevrolet "bow tie" front grill and trunk emblems, 16 inch black "MSR" wheels on Falken Sincera Touring tires that have around 50% life left in them (80,000 mile warranty tires). Tinted windows. The exhaust has an upgraded chrome tip. Custom "Special Edition" Badge was added to the trunk lid (shown in pictures). The body is in great shape with no major dents or scratches other than a small hardly noticeable dent on the drivers side door where another cars door flew open and made a crease (shown in pictures). I never noticed it until a couple of weeks ago because you can only really see it from a couple of feet away. I just had the outside detailed and cleaned. The paint and the overall outside appearance of the car is great.  Windshield is in good shape with no cracks. You won't find another Cobalt like this one!!!!

Interior: The inside of the car is in good shape. The seats have no rips or stains. The back seat has an small hole in it (had it when I purchased the vehicle)(shown in pictures). The carpets and floor mats are in good shape with no tears. All of the carpet in the trunk is in great shape with no stains or rips. The instrument panel was upgraded and is a little thing that makes this car even more unique (see picture). The sound system has been upgraded to an Alpine Head Unit with Two Sony X-Plod Subs in the trunk. The casing around the right subwoofer is cracked (as shown in the picture) but this does not effect the performance of the subwoofer at all. This car defiantly packs a loud punch with the bass!!!  
 

Mechanically: The engine is stock with no upgrades to it. The car started right up through the extremely cold winter without any problems. The automatic transmission shifts smooth. The original owner of the car had the following done to it before I purchased it: Transmission flush done at 70,000 miles, Left hub bearing replaced due to "humming", Replaced under warranty the manifold and catalytic converter, and Replaced sway bar end link. I have had no problems with the car since I bought it and nothing other than oil changes has needed to be done to the car for the 14,000 miles that I have had it. I just had the oil changed in it this past week and have been changing it every 3,000 miles. The car does not leak any oil. The alignment has been checked and is good. I had the coolant checked when it was last serviced and it tested perfect. All of the fluids have been topped off. All maintenance is up to date and current. The a/c blows cold. The power windows and locks work great. Everything works as it should. 

Overall this is a great looking car that is extremely reliable and easy on the pocket book both in gas and overall maintenance. 

*****I have described my car to the best of my abilities and have provided pictures that portray the cars current condition. The vehicle is being sold in  "as in" condition.  Please feel free to message me if you have more questions regarding anything about the car, I will be more than happy to answer them.  *****

I am located in O'Fallon, IL. Feel free to come look if you are close by otherwise I am located 30 minutes from St. Louis, Missouri. Fly in and drive it home. 

$500 non-refundable deposit is due through Paypal within 24 hours at the end of the auction. The remaining balance must be paid within 3 days of the auctions end unless other plans have been discussed and agreed upon by myself. U.S. buyers only. 

Trusted eBay member since 2006. One bad feedback from buyer who leaves negative feedback on all purchases. Cannot change it unfortunately. 

Thanks for looking!

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space

Tue, Aug 5 2014

In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural.

His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
