How much did you pay for your USED Aveo?

[ChevyAveo2442]

I bought my 2005 Aveo LS a few days ago for $450. It has a bit over 170,000 kilometers. I bought it from an older woman who had a book with all the service history on everything she had done to the car since she bought it in 2008, She had taken absolutely beautiful care of it.

Just bought one this past weekend. 2007 Chevrolet Aveo LS with 149,000 miles. $1900 (missing spare, A/C doesn't work, cracked right door mirror, terrible rust on hood, only one key). You have to prop the hood up with a piece of 2x4 because the piece under the hood that the metal prop rod fit into (once upon a time) is missing.

TweetyBird yellow, pinstripes (maybe red?), 5-speed manual with a spoiler. My 19-yo son loves it! LOL

P.S. Local salvage yard has a new compact 14x4 spare for $25.00; my son is on his way to go pick it up.

11/2016 - 2008 Aveo5 LS 113,000 miles - $1500.00
I'm the third owner, and it was pretty well maintained.
All I had to do to it was a timing belt kit (the first ever!) and a bath.
Fell in love with it, but sadly handing it over to my 16 year old daughter next month.

So I bought one for myself...

06/2016 - 2009 Aveo5 LT 85,000 miles - $2500.00
I'm the second owner and unfortunately "inherited" the first owner's deferred maintenance items.
Replaced the flex pipe, ignition coil pack, spark plugs, front brakes and rotors, and rear brake drums.
I swapped the 14" steel wheels to the 2008 and bought her a fresh set of tires and aftermarket wheel covers.
I kept the 15" alloy wheels for mine so I could upsize the tires when the time comes.
Then I added the $38.00 cruise control (thanks, forum!)
I put about another $1000.00 into the 2009 (including the new tires for the 2008, but I still think that it's a sweet little ride for $3500.00. And with the exception of a timing belt before the snow flies, it's not going to need anything other than regular maintenance for quite a while.

Looking for a 2011-2012 for the wife now.
I think I might have a problem...

Congrats, CDOwl!

That's a great trick, isn't it?

There's something to be said for sticking with what you know.

2011 Aveo5 with 80,000 miles. $5400 June '17

Hello, Im from france.
Got mine last year for 4750€ with 30 000km
It's a 2011 AVEO LS GPLI 1.2L (LPG factory installed) .
Paint was not excellent, but everything else is great.
LPG is considered as a eco friendly in France, so its gets a lot of advantage interms of taxe and LPG is cheap.
I get 500 km out a of a 23 € fill of LPG when driving on eco drive.
In sport mode (I stay above 4000rpm) I get 400km.
Of course I also have the gasoline tank, which adds more autonomy to the car.

Only thing missing is cruise control, seems with the 1.2L engine, it's not possible to use the legendary hack this forum proposed.

Hopefully someone will find out a way. 🤣

£2.900 2013 Aveo 1.4 with 60k on clock from a Auction

I got a 2005 Aveo sedan with 176,000 km on it for $450, It needed lots of love : rockers, exhaust, tires and a wheel bearing but its a happy little car now

$450 nice score!

I take it you did the work yourself?

I know people who live in Nova Scotia - the annual (semi-annual) inspection is pretty strict as far as rust goes. A lot of cars I see on the road here would never pass there.
