Huh, where are you seeing this?? I'll trailer my HHR and sell it in your area, if the hhr prices are that high.

A new FULLEY LOADED 2lt STICKERS for less than that. Are you including tax, lic, doc's, etc. in that $30K?

opps, my mistake....it's late.

And if it is the mileage he is speaking of....

Rental agencies provide these cars with unlimited mileage. Many people use them for trips, etc. (i had a rental on a recent trip in Hawaii...I put almost 1100 miles on it in 3 weeks....and hawaii is a small island).

Also, I think someone mentioned the agencies are keeping them in their fleet slightly longer than previously.

on cars.com you can find plenty of 06 and 07 models with mileage in the 30k range.....i just find it curious as to why this is....brake issues...warranty issues...other repairs...seriously looking into getting one...but don't want to be stuck with an abused hhr...and yeah i was talking about the miles...my bad snoop....

the one I bought was a certified Chevy used which means it had all the same warranties as a new HHR

Yeah, getting a used vehicle a bunch of clowns trashed is a whole lot better than paying $12,137 OTD for a new one like I did..........

they cant ALL be bad, just gotta be selective like with any purchase. I am sure there are plenty of good ones to find and the rentals are usually maintained well, that being said I would not be afraid to buy one if the price was right.
