It has over 130,000 km’s on it and the engine is still in good condition also, the mechanic was shocked at the excellent condition of such an old car, the only thing I needed to change was the back right bearing. I guess it helped that my grandma is a very cautious driver, and she brought the car in for checkups multiple times a year.

I have a 2008 Cobalt LT - got it dirt cheap with about 100k miles like the one in this video. Done some mods to dress it up and improve the performance a bit. Looks a lot better than a Corolla now. The Ecotek engine is built like a tank too. Is it a perfect car? Nah, rattles over bumps, drum brakes in the back are a pain, electronics needed work, but I made the right choice in picking it up. Starts up every time, picks up quick, runs at normal temps, no big issues anywhere. Great car for now :)

@kcg795 4 года назад

Yeah, the front end's not perfect. Had to replace my anti-sway bar end links when I was getting rattles. The new ones I put on are shorter, but they work just fine. Went ahead and replaced the anti-sway bar bushings too. Then another rattle showed up and one of the lower control arm bushings was bad. Replaced both control arms that came with all new bushings and ball joints. Not long after that, I had to replace the ball joint on one of them. Now it goes in for alignment on Thursday. One electrical issue I did have recently was the reverse lights fuse blowing. Traced it to the wiring harness near the fuse box where it was rubbing against the threaded end of a bolt on the engine and wore the wire loom through and wore through the wire going to the reverse lights. Didn't take me long to find that. Just had to tape it up. With 243,000 miles, I do believe I got my money's worth. I paid almost $10,000 for mine back in July of 2010. So I've had the car for almost 10 years now. Whenever I have to replace anything, it seems like that part is extremely inexpensive and the car itself is fairly easy to work on. I've learned to stay the hell away from AC Delco as well. So far, Moog's been pretty good for replacing my front end parts.

I've only had to do some engine maintenance in the time I've had my car, but the cost of maintaining a car comes with owning it. I've learned that the reliability of a car depends on how well it's been maintained and driven. I've kept up on routine maintenance such as regular oil changes and even had the transmission oil changed when it was recommended by the manufacturer. I also don't drive my car like a race car like most people do. Overall, my car has been very reliable and I've been happy with it so far.

Dunno when any fuel filters or pumps were fixed, but i’ll definitely get em fixed. The car was $1600 originally(free from my boss), we put another $1600 with crap shocks about 8 months later. a coil or something is cracked atm, and the drums are a little rusted it seems(when it’s wet or humid and has been sittin overnight, it grinds like there’s rust in the drums. scotty says new wd-40) so other than that stuff. i just do basic maintenance and use some fuel and oil additives(and supertech oil, it’s great), ethanol free gas when i can, and she’s doing good. I do have some lean codes still showing up, but i suspect that’s the hesitation. Gonna check the fuel filter tmrw and maybe call a mechanic for it if that doesn’t help

That problem is all over the internet, but Chevrolet Corporate denies the problem exists. I totaled it. Good riddance. My mother died back in '87. She had a Plymouth Caravelle (Super K). We bought it from her estate. We worked it hard (towing our tent trailer, etc.). Had it 13 years. Sold it. It had cleared 250,000 miles last we heard years ago. It had the Chrysler 2.2 engine.
