Looking to buy

[66roadie]

Looking to replace my 16 y/o PT turbo & really like the size & look of the Sonic. So after hours of on line research I'm searching for a very low mileage red '14 to '17 LT Manual hatch, turbo, manual xmission and 3.65 axle. This seems to be a rare combination & I may find myself special ordering a new one as a last resort.
Lots of good info here & no shortage of after market goodies down the line. I think I'm gonna like it here.

not sure you can select axle gearing. It's either RT or LT, LTZ gearing.
Avoid 2012's like the plague

Put down a deposit on a Kinetic Blue Metallic '17 LT Manual Hatchback.
(blue is the new red).

Manual/Turbo/LT is a very rare setup, most LT's were not turbo, and very few manual, only usually see manual base models and RS

Nice upgrade from the PT, my mom has had one since new in 2001 (white woody, not a GT), and it's been a disaster from then. It finally gave up the ghost, if I outgrow the sonic she may get to keep it, as they have tanked in value and I've modded mine enough I'd feel bad just giving it away to a dealer.

True.. I found mine 500 miles away and it's the only one I could find other than one on the East Coast. I plan to keep the PT for the same reason- not worth trading & I really like it.

Nice color! We were looking at a blue LT hatch also, but there were no deals for us and found a Cajun Red instead.

Good find if it's a 1.4L and manual! How much if I might ask?

Yea, it's a 1.4L manual with 7k miles.. 14.5k.
