Looks like they can not sell their cars until March 7th 2005.

THERE YOU GO - Now Get Them!

As a GM dealer I find it amusing to see many posts in and around the WWW, but it's hard for any dealers to get the Cobalt SS when they are not even in production. I just ran a nationwide Locate and there are no Cobalt SS' anywhere. Cobalt SS are not being produced yet. Here is the current production schedule per GM Dealerworld:

Chevrolet Cobalt Vehicle Production Schedule

Start of production dates for the 2005 Cobalt models are currently scheduled as follows:

* October 2004 -- Sedan
* November 2004 -- Coupe and SS Supercharged
* July 2005 -- SS Coupe and Sedan


So why does it say SS production in November too ? :) My aunt works for GM, they have been making them. Many people I know have already gotten build dates and inbound arrival dates within a week of expected arrival time.

Anything is possible with GM! I have this little tool called GM Dealerworld we use at our dealership, it's the Ultimate GM Inventory search tool. I just ran a locate specifically for the 2005 Cobalt SS first to look 999 miles out from my ZIP in NY State, and got NO hits (it will show anything actually in the system), and then 3000 miles out, and again NO hits. So I am naturally skeptical when GM says there are none out there, and people say yes. I could be wrong, but then again, GM Dealerwold is fairly accurate. If someone can provide me with a VIN# of one produced, I'd like to see it. **I have sent an email to the Cobalt Production Team to get clarification on Cobalt Supercharged Production to date, and when full blown production will happen.

I have pictures of the cobalt SS, up close and personal. Email me for pictures @

Hit us up with some more ! thanks !

Here are some more pictures that I took at a car show

Does anyone have any up close pics of under the hood for the Cobalt SS

I just received an email from the Cobalt Production Team and they told me, the Cobalt SS started production February 16th, that is 6 days ago. It seemed like some people have posted comments that made it sound like they have been making them for months - just 6 days folks so they should be starting to hit the lots soon although I doubt any have been delivered yet because none are showing up in GM inventory. Soon!

THERE YOU GO - Now Get Them!

I am willing to share PRIVLEDGED DEALER INFO! Why? Because I beleive you have the RIGHT to know. If someone at GM doesn't like it - too bad!

now THATS a good man, thanks Chris

Good post Chris, thx a mil! That gives people good bargaining power at the dealership, when they go to buy one.

I tried again last night at my local dealership if they could dealer locate me one from another dealership... and nothing popped up in thier system.. they did give me the same info that the first one was going to bowling green.. but they didn't have a vin or anything on it.. They also told me I could order one with the power package with LSD.. that was coming up in the systems for options/add-ons..

Here they are folks - I am even giving you the dealer invoice!!

Thanks CarChris!
Wish your Cndn equivalent would also post! :D

Yes, some Canadian based info would be great. My dealer states that he still doesn't have the performance package listed for the LSD and Recaro seats. I even sent GM Canada an information request a couple days ago and haven't received a response. How is that for customer service!!

Do u work for the dealership? Then why dont u tell everybody why Chevy is holdin back on the SS???? GM is being told not to talk about the SS because of mechanical problems. I have relatives that work for GM. Iam hearin too much negative info on this car. I plan on buying an SS but with all the mechanical problems....i dont know now.

Hi,

It's sort of funny because at the dealer level, we don't get much feedback as far as delays at the factory and such, except when we have to be the bearers of the bad news and get the egg in our face and let you know that your car hasn't been built yet, and we have no idea when it will. It's tough for us too, because we only make money when we sell a car.

My opinion is GM should not have hyped up the Superchqarged as much without having any inventory, and it's great they spent millions and millions on those TV and Print ads, but all I know is that official Supercharged Production just started like a week a go on the 16th of Feb, so things are rolling, and Quality Control is very important.

I posted every one that is in Built Status and only one so far produced, or so that's what I saw on my end.

Here is the email address to the Cobalt Marketing Team, they may not like the fact I posted their email address, but what can they do - FIRE ME! cobalt@chevylaunchhq.com

yeah, like, I can't find another commssion sales job! As much as I truly like selling cars, this job has way too many hassles, but what job doesn't.

Hey thanks for the email address, I just sent them an email talkin about the release date and all the mechanical problems i keep gettin told about.

I can tell many of you are going to the dealer and they are trying to locate these cars, well here is a heads up on what to look for:

There are 3 Event codes when looking up cars on the GM Locator, and unless you put in the right Event code, you only see some, or none, but here is the skinny:

When a dealer runs a locate, they are usually are looking at Event Code 5000 - which finds vehicles DELIVERED TO DEALER.

here is how I found all those Cobalt Supercharged I told you all about a zillion times....and if you go to the dealer, have them do this too

Event Code 3800 shows all VEHICLES PRODUCED
Event Code 3000 shows all ORDERS ACCEPTED BY GM PRODUCTION CONTROL

I just ran a fresh locate and the only ones showing up are under Event Codes 3800 (just one) and 3000 (the rest).

Does anyone have any up close pics of under the hood for the Cobalt SS
yea check out in GENERAL DISCUSSION and look for NEW COBALT SS PICS

Hey what about California. Is this the last place they are going to be released, because my dealer told me another 3 or 4 months and thats to long.

When will my friend Jerry get his car? He ordered one already. He wants to race me.

What kind of idiot would buy a car the first year it came out?

A lot of people Mike! And if you think about it, the RL is in, what, it's second, at least, year of production and it IS the SAME car w/ different body panels and badges. I have heard of NO problems since their debut.

Mike your such a pimp bro!

Mike your such a pimp bro!

You do realize we know you're Mad Mike under another identity? Dumbass.

Perhaps if you changed your speech patterns and didn't have Mike in your user name, we wouldn't catch on.

Your turn now Mike, go ahead, deny your identity...

What kind of idiot would buy a car the first year it came out?
Someone has too...

I will not deny this, but i was just stating that Mad Mike is such a pimp i mean he is somebody to look up to i admire him for having 55 posts i feel like such a noob dude!

Back on topic, is it confirmed the SS/SC will be out tomorrow?

I found one Cobalt SS S/C in Toronto Ontario - Black, retail - $27,670.00cdn. Has Onstar, and side curtain air bags

I found one Cobalt SS S/C in Toronot Ontario - Black, retail - $27,670.00

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!???????? :mad:

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!???????? :mad:

What you getting so excited about? That's in Canadian dollars. Using the currency converter (http://www.xe.com/ucc/) you end up with $22,517.84 USD. Even if it seems a little high, usually our car models come with winter packages. For example, I've got heated seats and mirrors and a block heater whereas some of these aren't even options in the US models.

What do you expect when we can have heated garages when they're part of our igloos?

I hunt seals and live in an igloo. I have a pack of huskies to help me get around.

Heh. I was just seeing if anyone would fall for it.

lol, i would love to see your igloo garage.. :D .. it'd be bigger than your igloo home, :)

OOOOH OOOH OOH An IGLOO!!!
Thats sooo cool!!! I live in a mud hut!!! But ... well.. I guess thats... not really... well...not at all cool... SH!T!!!!!!
And I had a garage til it caved in on my truck...D@MMIT!!!!!!!!!

I will not deny this, but i was just stating that Mad Mike is such a pimp i mean he is somebody to look up to i admire him for having 55 posts i feel like such a noob dude!

I WILL deny Mike... Mike who?... oh yeah that stupid@ss post whore.. no I dont know him. He's gay though.

P.S. no pun intended to anybody that may be... aaaahhh forget it

Oh yeah LOL I saw that igloo comment and forgot my reason 4 lookin into this post. :D

Release date supposedly March 7th... well whats today the NINTH!!!!!! Still no SS's around here AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!! :mad:

Saw a yellow Cobalt SS s/c last night on my way to Great Lakes Mall. All I can say is that they look SHARP. High fin, grey powder coated(?) rims...seriously considering one for our 2nd vehicle.

So they are around, just keep looking :)

Yeah I know they are slowlyt leaking into dealers....
Just not any dealers around here :(

There is a red SS in Phoenix Az and I went down to look at it and while I was there, I got the vin code for insurance reasons, but here you go and tell us what you come up with.

~Adam

Yeah well I wish there was one anywhere around J-Town Tennessee!!!!!!

There was just a recall issued for the Ion Redline, more spefically, the 2.0 Supercharged engines. Maybe that's why there was the delay with the Cobalt? Seems that the timing worked out pretty close. There was a recall with the Cam Position sensor seal.

The delays of the Cobalt SS and LS Coupe w/sport Appearance Package have been caused by shortages of the body kits

Not tryin to say you are wrong but where did you here that from?
I hope your right cause I don't want any recalls.

Hi, I ama new member and i want to start with saything THANKS to carchris for all the info you have provided. my dealer wont share anything as indepth as you do. I preordered a ss from southtowne chevy in Newnan GA back in october when the were offering free sunroof and/or xm radio. i was fist told a few weeks ago that my delivery date was March 2 and now it has changed to March 25. They have stuck to this date for a while now, i was just wondering how sure they are that it is going to be here, i have done the whole "deal" (credit check papers made up, all we are waiting on is a vin number) <-----this is what i am being told!!! Any opinions or advice would be appreciated!!! Thanks everyone for all your help and research.

^^^ Sounds like a good reason to get ILL to me!!! :mad:
Might get some more money off or incentives!!! :D

i am ill and my fiance is even more ill because the car is for her!!! i was trying to suprise her and it has all but backfired on me! I just want the car and i didnt see my dealers name on that list of dealers that was getting them. I am going to go to another dealer and get one if they do not have it on the 25th...................i failed to metion earlier that the dealer told me that the car was listed as "in transit"<-------------what exactly does that mean, if anything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In April they are going to have a drive away with more red cobalt SS's at Citizens Bank Park In Philadelphia..If anyone is interested in one of them call me at 215 579 1100.....Stan Esposito @ Stockburger Chevrolet. Reserve it now!! It is up for grabs right now.. sesposito@stockburger.com

In transit means that the car is on its way, either by truck or on the train.

yea i went to my local dealer on the 1st of march they told me they wouldnt have any SS cobalts till middle of march so i gave them my number to call me so i could come check it out and they finnally called me the other day on the 25th (friday) so i went down and they let me test drive it since i was there everyday of febuary waiting for them to find out when they were getting one in.. its really smooth ride.. has alot more power then my P.o.S cavy by far :) he wouldnt let me race a mustang that was driving next to me but.. still the fact that i had a chance against it was still great! ( im in love with this car )!!

The dealer called me back today and told me that the new projected delivery date was April 9. I just have one question. WHY DOSENT ONE OF THE LARGEST AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTUER IN THE WORLD KNOW WHEN THEY CAN OR CANT GET A CAR TO SOMEONE? I have even sent emails to the cobalt marketing team everyday for a week........no response on any of them. This is just all becoming a joke!!!!
