Hard to say, check for rust under the inside doors at the bottom. Highway miles or city. I'm gonna say highway. Coolant flush is important being an 06. First year model to, so a tranny flush has to be done. Hope this helps. Ecotec engines are good and with care should be good for many more miles, so the mileage isn't bad at all.

Make sure you get the carfax on used cars. If nothing else, it will tell you when a dealership or oil change place serviced it, and any accidents that were reported.

Also, have them pop the hood and check the strut points, and look to see if you see any corrosion. I had my dealership lift mine before I bought it so I could look at the frame (had a light bump reported up front, wanted to make sure of the continuity of the frame before purchasing.

Hope this helps Sir.

Good luck on the search.

Not sure what your budget range is, but there are many HHR's out there with lower miles on them.
Nothing against a high mileage car, but it normally means that much more wear and tear.
If you're looking for something to have for a long term, I would suggest one that's not as much "used" as you're looking at.

Just my opinion.
