Well neither dealer would budge on the price of there SS's and gave pitiful trade allowances.. I'm going to keep saving my pennies and maybe look again next year.

Hey guys,

Hate to bring a post back up from the dead but after many searches I never found an SS back then. I ended up trading the Malibu for a Kia Soul about 2 years ago. I do enjoy driving it but I'm very sad at the lack of aftermarket parts for it.

I think I am going to be on the hunt for an SS again but so far none that strikes my fancy in my area. Most of them even close to what I want is 500+ miles away which just isnt doable. I'll keep looking though. Even after all these years I still love the way the SS's look.

you should buy the one you want and pay to have it shipped to you, or make it a road trip and have a friend drive your Kia back for you, or if its far enough fly there and drive the SS home, either those options or wait a long time for an SS that might never come along! There are some that pop up for sale on the site now and then

After some hunting I found one Victory Red one less than 100 miles from me with about 60K miles on it. a 2008

Is there any advantage in getting a newer model? 09/10 SS? I would like one with the Red/Black interior but The only few I found were pretty far away.

Go drive it, it will let you know if you like it or not!

I've sent them a message to see if it's still available. The next closest one I found was about 400 miles away. Victory Red with the Red/Black interior. I sent them a message as well

Happy hunting, let us know which one you decided to get!!

In October I bought a loaded black '09 SS Auto with 10,833 miles for $17,300.

I think $21,000 is too stiff. However car markets seem high in certain areas.

I love mine. If you can find a Panel go for it. That is what I wanted but as you said they are very hard to find.

Originally I went to look at an '08 with 151,000 miles for $9,900. I would have completely rebuilt the engine. The '09 SS I bought ($17,300) had come in a day or two before and I popped on it.

I hate to sell my '08 Panel but I think I'll have to. I am car and insurance poor. I would sell for $9000 if I decide to sell it.

I'm finding pricing much better now. Back then I think they were just way to proud of it.

I found one at CarMax in Florida. 2010 SS Manual - They want 14K for it and only 42K miles on it. If they do good on the trade i may go ahead and see about ordering it so they will ship it up to Atlanta.

I gotta take a few mods off my soul and take it back to factory first though.
