How much did you pay for your new HHR?

I'm plan to buy an HHR within the next week if I can get the right deal. So I want to know, how much did you pay for your new HHR and what incentives were included in the final price? Thanks!

I bought mine for $16,000 brand new. Its a 2010 LS, Manual, with spare tire and mat package.

I rolled over some negative equity to the tune of 4000 bucks. So its about $20,000.

My monthly payment is `$300/mo (w/gap), my insurance is $80/mo. My insurance is dropping to $70/mo soon.

I am in a 6 year term at ~3% APR.

All said and done, it will cost me $22392. I know there are better situations out there, but considering the car I traded in, I feel that the peace of mind of owning new and having a warranty was worth it. Hindsight is 20/20.

Incentives?

5yr/100,000 mile limited power-train warranty. 3yr/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Good enough for me.

Be aware, many power-train components have had their coverages dropped on the newer GM power-train warranties. Some components that I shake my head at and would not have placed faith in, had I known...

The interest rate you got is great! I didn't know that they dropped certain components from the powertrain warranty.

2011 HHR LS practically everything is standard which was nice only options I got was the My Link package and an actual spare tire.lol Got the factory carpet mats too.

Sticker: $20,110
With Chevrolet and USAA incentives: $14,825
With tax, title, blah, blah: $16,667
Financed: $15,516.56 3.25% for 72 months $235.55/month

Stretched it out to 72 months since I got laid off from my job while I was in the process of getting it..lol Need my monthly payment as low as possible for now. I'll pay down 2 years of principal once I get a new job...no hurry on that though..lol

The 5yr/100,000 Chevy road side and powertrain warranty was a good selling point. 3yr/36,000 bumper to bumper is nice too.

Can you refinance your loan or do you think it's now worth it if you can? A lot of banks are offering 3-5% on a refi.

MY HHR had a sticker price of 16,900 on it in December of 2007 as a 07 model.

After year end incentives and rebates and negotiations I paid 12,900 and out the door and after tax,and a few xtras the final cost was back up to 16,800.00 which was a great deal for a brand new car,especially one of the best cars ive ever owned.

The sad part is with my dismal credit and horrible interest rate after 6 years of payment Ill end up paying almost 30k for it :P

I bought a new one about 3 months ago. It listed for about 21,000. The factory gave 3500 off & you get another 1000 if you already have a GM car. It cost me 16,300 out the door & they gave me 3000 for my 00 Regal. I would have got a manual trans. but with the 100,000 mile warranty I went with the auto. I'd hate to have to pull the trans on a front wheel drive. I love the little car. I'm surprised though it only has 3 drive positions on the gear selector.
