2008 Chevy Aveo (sh.itjust.works)

Good afternoon /c/cars.

I'm looking to get my first car and I want to get some opinions. I'm thinking of buying a 2008 Chevy Aveo with safety certificate and the price is $2500 CAD. I'm interested to see what you all have to say about this particular vehicle, if you have any personal experience with it or any gripes.

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

I used to work with a guy who bought one of these. He was very hot on it being his "dang old red blooded American working man's Chevy on a budget" and was not best pleased when I proved to him that it was just a rebadged Daewoo, and specifically from the era before Korean cars were any good.

He had the transmission replaced three times under warranty, and when it conked out again after the warranty was up, the replacement and labor was several times what the car was worth and he wound up junking it. It had a myriad of other weird problems before then.

I'd rather own a bicycle.
