    New to the forum, might be buying a 07 Cobalt Ls manual

    Do a car fax search for your local area to see what is valued at. And consider body, interior and drivability conditions. If you think it is worth, buy it.

    A manual trans/axle should have a fill plug somewhere, the gear lube should be at the fill plug level when the plug is removed.

    Is this model supposed to be turbo'd?

    Contact a Chevy dealer or GM website with your VIN handy and ask them to look up the factory options on your car. There are some websites that can tell you what the option codes mean on the sticker under the carpet in your trunk.
