I bought my LT in 2008 its a 2007, I now have 72k on it . Yes the interior drivers door handle broke, easy fix, and the plastic headlamps are clouding over(typical with cars in So. Cal),I would not trade my baby , A lot of cars have a lot of problems. I did a lot of research ..For the size/money this vehicle is awesome.

 

When I had my Toyota Celicia GTS and I would go to yhe dealer to buy parts I askedthe parts Mgr. why they didn't wear a mask and a gun as they were holding you to buy parts, I did all my own service work and found other places to buy parts, no more Toyotas for me, Ill live and die in my HHR and love it. and I am 81 1/2 years. so it will outlast me. YIPPEE

 

Lost out an a nice privately owned 2LT in my fav Color for the car BLK.

Not many choices avaiable except for the orange one here and the dealer is not budging from $13300 OTD (sales tax is capped at $300) so its a 13,000 car. Over half or original MSRP for a 6 year old Chevy before the $4000 rebates they were giving at the time!

2008 2LT 20500 miles. Orange is just loud... LOL and the trade value is only $9500. I don't want to be stupid about this but it's the least expensive low mileage loaded HHR around. Privately or on lots. Would have to add BT though, Another $300. But on the bright side the girly Pin striping will come off with Acetone

I am getting $21,000 for the 08 Tacoma ($2000 over trade in) privately. So the spread is only $8000 for a Tacoma TRD DCSB 2WD OR in great condition with 34K vs an 08 HHR in good condition. Something does not seem right.

I have been hoping it sells so I would not have to stress over it LOL....

Liking this Acura next to it as well....

The Acura seems like a better deal for $2000 more. Than the Tacoma.

Would feel much better if it were a 2010.

 

FYI: I've merged your 4 threads on the same subject into this one.

 

HA good idea....I am not OCD about OWNING cars. I am extremely OCD when buying them. After I own them I will be the first to let the shopping car roll into the door as always.

 

HAve an offer on the Tacoma for $21900. Decided not to buy this one and pocket $8600

2008 2LT with 20 K @13,300 OTD way too much for 08



Found this one Privately.

http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/4041796298.html



Has a $9000 Trade value. Everything but rear view camera. 50XXX Wants $12,000

I will offer $10,500 tops. Probably wont take it but he has been trying to sell All Summer. At least he will be getting $1500 over wholesale. $12K is rich for a 4 year old Chevy that sold for less than $20K after rebates. Only thing he had issues with is the shifter recall. I like black better on the car. Looks even more retro.

If I cannot swing that deal I will step up a bit and buy a 2010 Acura RDX and call it a day

 

Merged your latest thread into your original. That was the 5th thread on the same subject.

 

Multiple threads lead to confusion, it's best to keep your original thread going, if it needs a title change just PM one of the Moderators and we'll be happy to help.

 

YEah Thanks. Confusion sucks..... Thinking about abandoning the HHR and buying a 2008-2010 EX35 Infiniti anyway, People want too much for the 3 year old discontinued Chevy. Most prices are over half MSRP before the $4000 rebates. The dealers are telling me the the buyers are those with credit issues who can afford a payment on a $12,000 loan with $2000 down and a handful of hobbyists.

The best way to buy the HHR is less than $10,000 unless its the SS. $15K is just crazy considering the other choices available. It's a nice car and looks great but I find it all flash an little substance. IF I cannot find a 2009 2LT or better for less than $10K with <50K miles I would rather buy an RDX or EX35,

 

Oh, for crying out loud.........
