Repair-It

I have posted these all over the place. Now there is a thread for it. Here's one in NJ so that means it's good.

2007, black, 109k, $11,990

Carfax attached.

Does seem like I could simply trade up to one of these as my daily in the near future if I so desire. I want to start paying attention to the market because some of them are ones that I really want to be able to jump on, like that super rare 09 I found a while back.

Production by year is as follows...

2006: 1,306
2007: 642
2008: 459
2009: 96

There is not a color combo breakdown unfortunately. GM isn't very cooperative with production stats on this car.

But figure Black Raven is the most common, followed by Light Platinum then Thunder Grey. As far as interior, Ebony is probably the most common, followed by the light grey and Ebony/Tango Red the rarest.

I wouldn't have minded another White Diamond Tricoat but nope. Looks like black, silver and a blue/gray. Black on black most common. I don't really have a super strong preference. Silver w/ black interior is nice, for example.

The other thing I wanted to say was I think ideally I am looking for a service history that has replaced all the trouble items. I wouldn't mind seeing:
- Engine mounts
- Control arms
- Driveline/diff bushings or even the driveshaft
- Front door handles

And for maintenance:
- Coolant flush/change
- Brake fluid flush/change
- Transmission flush/change

That NJ car had some of this stuff and it was only 2 owner. Actually it reminds me a little of mine. A low mileage lease owner (Ohio/PA), and then someone bought it and drove it from like 18k to 109k. On second look, the second owner was all in NJ. Ugh.
