Used cars in New Jersey may be best option now that ‘new’ GM has pared offerings

A new General Motors is in the offing after a slimmed-down version of the automaker cleared the bankruptcy court on July 10, but enthusiasts of several performance models may look to used cars in New Jersey now that GM has ceased production of several lines.

GM CEO Fritz Henderson says that being able to slough off less profitable makes and suppliers will help to make the company a more fit competitor in the global market place, but adds that government investments have offered “a precious second chance, [but] there are no third chances.”

Car enthusiast site Jalopnik.com has compiled a list of the models that consumers may have considered buying before their production was curtailed as a result of recent restructuring by General Motors and Chrysler.

For fans of the sportier Chevrolet Cobalt, a used Cobalt SS in New Jersey will be the way to go for those who are interested in the high-powered compact coupe that packs a turbocharged 2.2 liter engine. Similarly, those looking for the CTS-V sports car from Cadillac may turn to classifieds for used cars in New York to sate their thirst for luxury and performance, according to the website.
