Hey gang!
Just stopping by to say hi...
I work at a Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealership here in Minneapolis. Anyway, I decided that my winter beater was a little too beat, so I pulled the trigger on one of these Aveo 5 SVM's that we had on the lot. It was a steal, 'cause it was sitting out there 60 days and the boss had it priced for less than what we owned it for.
It's a silver 2007 with about 12,400 on the odometer. Seemed like a smart buy since it has plenty of factory warranty left, my techs said they hardly ever have problems, they hold their resale well, and I should be able to achieve some pretty respectable MPG's with the little 1.6L. Although, I did splurge and got some 16" wheels for it (since I naturally get a discount, and the stock 14's were just too cheap-looking), so it might effect my efficiency a tad. We'll see. Oh, and I picked up a set of the all-weather floormats. Kind of a must-have in this part of the world, ya know.
I'll try to get some pics up, and check in from time to time for ideas and whatnot. One thing I forgot to pick up was splash guards, so I think I'll have my parts guys order that up tomorrow.
Update: Here's a pic
