out the door, model?

well I haven't purchased mine yet, but I know someone at a dealership here and she'll get me the employee discount price. The 2LT model I want is listed at just under 20,000.

I'm hoping to get it for about 18 or a little less.

I'm waiting till spring so that I'll have a better selection of models (don't want to order it) and then at that time, I'll have more saved up along with a bonus check from work, my tax returns, and parting out/selling my Saturn. Hopefully half of the car will be paid before I have to start making payments on it.

Model: 1LT Eng: 2.4 Trans: Auto Options: Running Boards
Price: $20,500 - "out the door" (including tax & DMV)

Bought almost 2 years ago and paid $11,995 (i think, but not more then that) for an '06 LS.

$21,274 including tax - license - and finance charges. 2009 HHR LS AA5 with 5-speed. Although I never thought I got the Deal of the Century, I thought I got a fair deal, and still do. Without the finance charges, just a little under $19,000. If I bought a standard LT model, I could have gotten it about $1500 cheaper, but the dealer wasn't budging on the AA5 body, he knew what he had. I actually bought it driving by the dealership and saw it on the transport truck.

Just put a deposit on a new 09 SS out the door $20,320.71 this also includes a $53 lost title replacement fee.
I shopped 6 different dealers, great to be retired. Highest dealer was another $1100.:nuts::nuts::nuts:
Automatic, sun roof, better radio and a little more, do not remember everything:one:

Paid Sticker (sic) in 07/08 when gas was $4.25 up here, no HHR's in sight. One dealer had 3 SS's and after driving one, I was hooked! $21,900 but got $2500 for a 12 year old v6 5spd firebird (loved that car) and $2000 GM rebate from a credit card along with 72 month 0%. Couldn't really pass it up even though I knew used would have been better. Like my car a lot and don't really regret the purchase, just wish it was a little more practical.

This is my first post here I hope it works. I just purchased a new 09 LS with the cash for clunker program. I found an early victory red 09 automatic left on the lot and got it for $9,900 that was with the employee discount and all the current rebates and incentives. I am not a GM employee but I found an add that had the employee price listed and I found a dealer that woud give it to me. The sticker on the same late model 09 was $20,300.

I bought my 09 LS 3 weeks ago for 14,400 OTD. Thats was with the 5 yr/75,000 bumper to bumper + GAP insurance. No cash for clunkers. I traded in a 2002 Hyundai Accent with 125k and a few issues, got $800 for it.

I paid 14.5k plus Uncle Sams portion for a 2008 HHR SS (loaded) with 4600 miles on the clock. I actually I bought the car for my wife and she could not be happier. She is always looking to race someone:lol:

She wants me to add the stage 1 upgrade already.:bow:

I thought cash for clunkers was only good on new cars? Iam assuming that is what you ment by uncle sams portion?

Crazy.........an almost 4 yr old thread with just, with mine, 24 posts!! And most of them after a gap from 10/05-07/09!

Haven't bought yet. Been wanting one since they came out.

But finally found a 1 owner '08 Panel LT2 with all the goodies...+ spoiler, roof rails, etc.. Super Clean through-out..

Took a long test drive today, impressed by the 2.4 & auto (especially for just stock).
Summit White w/Ebony (black) interior...:thumb:

Asking $13,900. w/21,881 miles. KBB lists it for $15,790.

Think I might be able to negotiate a slightly better price ?? Least gonna try..

I mean plus tax. 14.5k plus the tax ;)

I took advantage of the cash for clunkers with a 1992 cargo van, after the $4500 off I paid $15,200. Now I'm hoping I'll never regret it.

I bought my hhr ss for 24k from the dealer. It had only 17 miles on it. 24k plus tip ( tax and licence) I might have gotten a better deal on one now, since obongo has dipped his dirty little fingers into everything, but at least I got mine before the General turned into Governmont Motors, but I love my hhr ss. Its Black , and pretty fast . I have a 86 iroc z that is alot faster, and is set up real good. I only drive it on nice days, so my hhr is my daily driver. problem is, I want to fix it up too, it can never be fast enough, or handle goodenough, but I have the "disease" the speed disease. thats what I get from growing up around race cars! its not a bad thing, If i diddnt have any race cars, and hot rods , I would be left with a bunch of money, and a ***** with no direction

Back in March, I picked up my preowned '08 HHR SS (w/Sunroof, LSD, Manual trans, Side Airbags) $16,871 with 6771mi on the odo. I now have 12,980 and have not had a bit of trouble.

Wow...this is an old thread!

I bought mine used in February 2009 for $10,800. (Tax, title, license, I paid out of pocket extra)

Mine is a 2006 1LT that had 33k miles at the time.

2009 LT white loaded up with sunroof ect, and chrome 17" rims, 10k on the odometer, 13.5k, never would have bought it but they gave me good money on my trade, out the door price to me was $6500

Dealer is playing hardball... Asking Price went up $14,500...WTF ??
He said it was only down for a special sale event..

If this one wasn't almost exactly what I wanted, I'd walk away..

But I'm still dickering on the price, & looking on-line at others also..

Something gotta give..

I wouldn't give into them... If they COULD sell it before at that price, why can't they now? No one is making you buy a car, and they know that. But they have to sell one. The customer always has the most negotiating power, and you have to remember that.

Yep CCK- Guess I tend to forget that sometimes..Thanks for reminding me ..

Been over 11 years since I bought my current 98 Chevy S-10, my haggling skills are a little rusty.. :lol:

I would like to get this 08 Panel, but time will tell..

I heard Chevy has made more.. :thumb:

Well later today is the day.. Either they take my cash offer w/(already made good deal on my trade) or I am just gonna keep looking..

I guess time will tell., with trade value included I'm trying to get it for $14,000. out da door..

I hope the HHR Panel does as good as my trusty old S-10 has done over the many years.

My HHR was built on 08/25/08 so it's sticker was at a lower price than models recently built. HHR model ($18,930) LT 2LT package summit white ($1700), automatic ($1000), cashmere beige leather ($750), usb port radio ($100), sunroof ($750) destination charge ($660).

Sticker: $23,890.00
Discounts: $8,246.00
My Price: $15,644.00

The $8246.00 included a $1131 dealer reduction on sticker, $4500 CFC program, $2500 GM rebate, $115 trade-in allowance for my 88 BMW 325i. So I got approx 34.5% off of the sticker. An honest deal I think...... :D

Fred

Yea Fred that does sound like a good deal !!!


Me, I'm still playing the numbers game at the dealer.. We're very close to a deal. (hopefully)...

The 08 Panel is an LT2, 2.4, auto, spoiler, racks, & in summit white as well..

If the deal goes thru I'll post the final price & etc..

Purchased Dec 2008 - New 2009 LS with Auto Trans as the only extra.
$15,057 out the door, including Sales Tax, License, etc.

09 HHR SS

sticker was $27415.00
with taxes and tags figured back in $21,120.00 out the door

It may not be the lowest but I'm happy with the price considering we didn't have a cash for clunkers to trade in.

I bought my 1LT card red July 2008 when gas was four dollars plus a gallon, the Denali was runniing me one-hundred thiirty a week to drive:barf:. The HHR was $22000.00 out the door with ZERO % finace for 72 months...With the new payment and the 32 MPG (appossed to 13 MPG with the Denali) I was saving $:thumb:

Well so far my deal is tanking... They won't budge any further..

They want 14,500.. I'm ok with that.

But all the tax, tag doc fees etc = adds up to 15,824. out the door..:eek:

I don't know ?
I want the 08 Panel 2LT but kinda stretching me pretty thin...

It could be worse, if you lived in CA the taxes and fees are much higher.....

That's certainly a good point.. You're right..My Bro-n-Law lives out there.

I just am trying to stay within my means.. Especially with the economy & etc..

& of course still searching.. But so far nothing that compares, least within a 250 mile radius.
