There is a memorial day sale today still and i'm going to buy an HHR today after work.

Is there any advice i should know so i don't get ripped off or to get a better deal?

i'm in south florida

 

Get running boards, make sure all fuses are seated.. make sure all ECM updates are installed..

Try to get invoice or a bit over it...

Have a Happy Drive

 

what do u mean by running boards and how do i check if all ecm updates are installed

 

You don't know what running boards are?

 

dang

 

ask the Service Dept... / sales....
Ask them whats the latest version available and whats in the vehicle..

 

Yea go ahead and ask by all means, but here I go again on my soapbox - why should he have to ask at all. Geez, can't they just do what needs to be done, correctly, and deliver the vehicle right the first time. How many years does it take to get this down pat. This isn't rocket science people, just take care of your customer.

 

Thats true.. but ... seems they don't want to do anything till someone complains...

 

My own $.02? Get all of the extras that you want from the get-go: If you want running boards, steering wheel audio controls, nicer wheels, upgraded stereo, etc., find a model that has it all. I know that for me, in the past, I have told myself that I would do add-ons later, and then end up wishing I got the factory-installed stuff. I know some people in this forum have added after-market stuff (like sterring wheel audio controls and running boards) after the fact, wishing they would have gotten them in the first place.

Other than that, I would say take it for a drive on local streets and the freeway and make sure you like the ride - I'm sure you will!
Good luck and let us know what you end up with!

 

Sport Red Sport Red Sport Red Sport Red Sport Red! Oh and the runningboards would probably be a good idea. It'll help you with avoiding chipped paint on your rear fenders. The mud flaps do help some, but i regret not getting the runningboards in the beginning.
