If it's an SS, I'd buy it and resell it! It's worth more then that!

The SS has a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection engine. I suspect that the 2.0L should be capable of better mileage then the 2.2 in the right hands, since it has direct injection that should allow for lean burn, plus it's a smaller displacement.

EIther way, it's a good deal, and i'd snap it up.


I think the LS, LT and XFE get the 2.2L (145hp)

The sport has the 2.4L (171hp)

The SS has a smaller 2.0L but its turbocharged (260hp)

Im just skeptical because Im currently almost getting 30mpg

and an automatic sport might yield just that

(resale wise, its salvage title, but only rear end collision)
