Thinking of buying a 2009 Leftover Aveo

[serega12]

What kind of price are you looking at with those "heavily discounted" cars? And also, say hello to Wolf when you're up in Alaska...

The new engine is a Daewoo built vauxhall copy. So it's been around so to speak.

It's a copy? I thought GM-Daewoo-Vauxhall-Holden were one company?

I always consider it a copy when it's not made at the same location or by the same people.

2009 Aveo, $9,000. A/C, 15 inch tires, Manual transmission, "premium" stereo, power door and windows, wing in back. The car has 100 miles. I thought it was cool that it came with onstar.. that will be a big help when I'm traveling on roads where there is no help nearby.

As long as you sign up for premium onstar service for the month/months you're doing your big road trip so you can contact them when you break down... or call to order pizza.

And $9000 is not a bad price at all for a brand new car like that...

It's heavily discounted (as it should be) because it has already depreciated in terms of resale value; meaning you won't get too much for it when you sell it - but who knows? If gas eventually hits 5, 6, 7, dollars a gallon, even used Aveos might have 'value added' to their resale appeal. But it's hard to go wrong at that price, considering the 3 year full coverage warranty will be in effect from the date you buy it.

Offer the dealer $8,200. Make him squirm... After all, for Chevy it's a tough sell, and ultimately they gotta unload 'em.

Road trips are your hobby?


Based on the millage on the Hyundai, you won't have to stress the re-sale. Cars are worth sh.. at that distance.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal, but I would try to get another $1000 off the price, just for the h... of it.

My local Chevrolet Dealer have new '09 Aveos that are heavily discounted. I am looking for a good car for my hobby, road trips. This car will be replacing my 1998 Hyundai Elantra which has 280k miles. Any of you do any road trips with the Aveos? Any Pros or Cons?

Next year, I plan on doing a road trip from Key West Florida to Inuvik, NT, Canada and Alaska (11,500 miles). This has been my dream for a while.

Another question: Are both the E-Tec and Ecotec a Daewoo-designed engine? What are the main differences besides HP? What are these premature timing belt issues I'm hearing about? Where are the 2009/2010 Aveos made in?

Thank you in advance.

Here's a link via mapquest of the road trip I plan on driving:

What year engines are considering "new"?

ive driven in my 07 from PA to Fl in back a few times and its good, im 6' foot tall and it is a confortable car, the timing belt on the new engines will last over 100k, not sure about the premature belt breakage, 95% break after their expected life. Nothing wrong with Daewoo/GM

Thank you
