i think the icelandic blue is pretty nice, seen one at the dealer and i liked it, but i am a girl maybe that explains it
the nicest one IMO is the spicy orange.
the darker gray look real nice on the brochure...
hey, congrats on your purchase, :shades: hope the ppl will be nice if you got to back for something!!
are you guys happy with you Aveos so far??
i am still debating which one to choose , the aveo, the scion xA,the yaris, the versa,the rio or the reno or wait for the new suzuki sx4 that will be all I want but starting at 15K...and it will be 1st yr on the market and i dont think i can get below the sticker by much...(same with versa and yaris)
on the other hand, the aveo i could probably get around 10-11k and same with the reno. a dealer 50 miles from here has 66 reno 2006 in STOCK right now!!! :surprise:
initially, me and my husband both wanted to get a new little cars (like you, 2 cheap cars with auto and a/c..we didn't care that much about the rest at that price)and we were going to get 2 aveos for 22.000$, again just like you they were SVM with dealer installed a/c, this was cheaper than to go with 2 LS trim
along the way my husband decided to keep his older car till it dies :surprise: and get another pick up truck to replace the one we have.
the more i do my reseach and read posts, the more i think i will stick with my 1st pick which was the aveo...
other are pretty tempting (xa, rio, yaris and versa) but overall, i think the aveo is a good buy.
i drove the aveo and loved it and i was pleasantly surprised of the quality of the ride.
i was talking to my friend back in canada, that owns an aveo sedan for a bit more than a yr and she is very happy with it, more so than she was with her cavalier.
i was considering the suzuki reno, but i saw so many complains about it not starting even when the car was new that i am not willing to take a chance on this particular car.
that green does look like the new green/gray metallic they have for the ford mustang, very nice color!
I found an Aveo LT (Automatic transmission) that costs me $14,211 with the GM supplier pricing.
The dealer tells me that the GM supplier pricing is his final price... he cannot reduce any further.
Has anybody had any experience with a GM supplier pricing deal? How can I get my dealer to reduce further. I guess my entire GM supplier discount would be passed on to the dealer, so if I bought at the supplier price, it seems to me to be equivalent to buying at MSRP with the dealer making a lot of money.
Suggestions?
A guy on another forum just got a 2007 with 3K knocked off the price. It seems that a lot that can be saved on this model if you're willing to bargain HARD!
Best you waste your valuable energy fretting about things you can control as oopposed to things you and well, the US government cannot.
If you can get the dealer to combine this with
4 instant value certificates (worth $1000 total)
you will be doing great
That would be $3000 in total rebates
$1000 manuf rebate
$1000 july 4th bonus cash
$1000 in instant value certificates
Considering the aveo has only a $500 rebate
a comparably
equiped cobalt may actually be cheaper
and is without a doubt a much more substantial car
A cobalt LS has all the basics including air, gets pretty
good mileage (especially with the 5-spd) and offers the MP3 radio for only $150 extra
If you are shopping the aveo do yourself a favor and at least check out the cobalt
The Cobalt is a totally different car than the Cavaliar other than sharing that arguably best in class EcoTech engine. If you look at the top of the forum you can see the consumer rating section where people post commments about their cars and mileage. Around town most get mid-20's and up to 40 on the highway. In a Car & Driver evaluation in July 2005, the Cobalt had the best mileage for its class barely edging the Corolla with over-all mileage at 28.3 vs 28.1 for the Corolla. That was both city and highway averaged out. The HHR shares the same chassis and engine as the Cobalt and weighs a couple hundred more and some people get upper 20's city in that vehicle as well.
The Aveo may not be the best in class mileage for its size, but Motorweek TV did find it better than the Nissan Versa in their evalution. Mid to upper 20's is not bad for a city car.
Wanted to find out if anyone tried to buy the "value" version of the car and had a dealer install the a/c on it. What was the cost and was it really worth it against buying an LS version ?
Good luck

I just bought a value version of the Aveo5. The dealer wanted $1,660 just for ac. I did not have it installed.
A Kia dealer here in DFW used to advertise their Kia Rios for $5888. Each dealer (they have 3 stores in town) would get one per month and they would run the TV spots all the time. At the time I was living in a hotel behind one of these dealers and I noticed a car with no hubcaps coming off the truck one morning. I checked it out, it had no AC, no radio, no power steering, no nothing. I knew it was the $5888 car and it was even in black. I went inside and tried to buy it for TWO HOURS. Finally they told me they couldn't finance it to me because their minimum financing amount was $5000 and I would have to put a third down, which would mean financing about $4400 and they simply wouldn't do it. I tried to have them add an extended warranty on the car (powertrain was covered 10yr/100K), window tint, floor mats, a radio, etc...I even offered to let them add the $2100 AC package which would have made the car at this point about $10K and even with half down it would be above their minimum and they flat out refused. Then the manager came out and said cash only. I had $3200 to my name at the time and couldn't do it.
The car was sold to the next person who walked in the door after me that morning, who also lived in the same hotel and was waiting JUST LIKE ME.
So if you want the stripper model, rent a hotel room by the dealership and wait it out!
Have fun with the car.
Sticker: $9950
Minus: -$300 Dealer discount
Minus: -$1250 Chevy rebate
Minus: -$2000 GM Card rebate
Plus: +$600 Aprox. in Tax, title, license.
Equals: Out the door for $7000
That's an awfully good price for a brand new car with a 3yr/36,0000 bumper-to-bumper, 5yr/100,000 powertrain warranty.
Key to all this: Make sure your GM Card doesn't have a redemption allowance. Newer card accounts limit the most you can rebate on an Aveo to $1000, even if you have a rebate for a higher amount. Older accounts shouldn't have such a limit. I got it in writing from GM Card last summer that my card didn't have a redemption allowance.
Price was good, the sales rep was a good guy, but they tried to tack on an extra $500 when I went to sign the paperwork. Luckily, I had already gotten an "out the door price" in writing (email) and they honored that.
Car was purchased in the Dallas Metroplex on Jan. 24.
Tip: Use the "search inventory" feature on the chevrolet.com website to track down 2007 Aveos.
Chevy Aveo LT, with all the added stuff.
ABS, Leather interior, Auto, and steering wheel controls.
Checked it up on the Chevy site, though costco, and in Kelly Blue Book.
Chevy MSRP was $16380
Costco Invoice price $15464
KBB Used retail was $15100 (before TT&L)
I picked it up at Good Chevrolet in Seattle for $15,000 out the door.
Needless to say I am quite pleased with the sale..
