Hold out for the panel, mightcosta bit more but worth it.

Got my 08 in October 07 for $18k with 4 miles on it.....from my test drive mostly.

 

Mongo, I know you're right.. why settle, when a Panel is what I've been interested in since I joined this forum...

Just found an 08 Panel LT, I believe its a 2LT has the 2.4 auto & the goodies. ABS, running boards & etc...
Only 22,080 miles on this one.. That's a bit more reasonable for miles, imo.

Asking $15,900. I'm gonna check this one out.. I believe the color is Summit White. Looks really sweet with the polished 17" mags on it..

At a local Ford Dealership..

 

Oh yea it's already got a spoiler & roof racks, tinted windows, & I'm sure more I haven't seen yet..

Rubber oem mat inside the back & the net..

 

my dealer has 2009 lt's with the upgraded chrome wheels ect for 13,400, the models with upgrades like sunroofs ect go for 14,500, all these have less than 12k on the clock..

Remember if you dont lie the price offer them less than you actually want to pay for it and see if you meet somewhere in the middle..

 

Just for what it is worth, I just bought an '09 2LT here in North Carolina for $14,300. It had 13,700 miles on it when I bought it. It seemed like a very good deal compared to what some were asking, so I grabbed it. I did look through Cars.com and Yahoo for three weeks screening before I found this one. Do the leg work online first if you can. Just FYI, it appears the Panels are harder to move in my area, so you may be able to negotiate easier for what you want. I wish you the best in your search.

Thanks for all the replies..

Seems around here the Panels are more sought after & are priced a bit higher to start with..

 

I paid $12k (including tax and title etc.) for an 08 LT2 2.4 Auto with 24K miles at the dealer. Not a great deal but fair IMO for a car with 1 year and 12k of warranty left on it. The leather is the only thing different than mine. I would say they are OK on the price but I think you could find one cheaper with less miles maybe even with leather if you tried, cars.com and autotrader.com even ebaymotors. Depends on how far you are willing to look I guess. I drove near 100 miles in each direction in search of the right car.
Where is White Oak Mtn? VA??? Are cars cheaper in neighboring counties or states?

 

Thanks for the reply.. I'm in SE TN.

I have found several HHR LT2 wagons for much less than this panel..

Problem is I really like the Panels... Yes cars are cheaper priced in places like IL. Good prices there..

I like the HHR wagons, but when I see & drive the Panels. I really want one.

 

Summit White Panel..........o0oooooo
