My HHR Arrives Tomorrow!
This past Monday, I traded my 2004 Mercedes-Benz C240 sedan (which I bought used only 4 months ago) for a Black 2007 HHR LS - the very basic model with Getrag 5-speed manual trans. It will be new except for the mileage put on by the dealer - it has to be brought from a dealer in New York down here to New Jersey. There were no LS models within a 50 mile radius, and only one single LT model at the dealer I am doing business with. (I am not sure if that is significant in any way - I just think it's odd.)
Anyhow - I am excited as all get-out. I like what I am reading in the chevyhhr forum - it seems that most folks are happy with their decision to own one. Because I owe much more on the Benz than I got for it in trade, and my FICO credit score being somewhere in the mid-600's making a reasonable APR only a dream, I am going to be paying a lot for a long time on this HHR. Buying that Mercedes was a huge, costly mistake.
I am hoping that my owning an HHR will be a delightful and creative counterpoint to that mistake. At least, I will have a vehicle with a warranty and won't have to worry about paying for repairs for a few years.
I have seen only one HHR - parked down the street in a neighbor's driveway - and NONE on the road since I started looking! I know that's going to change...

but only because I didn't have to work today due to weather.
