Looks like all you need is a new door skin. Whatever it is, repairs should be easier now. I needed a new front passenger door last year and had to wait 3 weeks because Chevy wasn't producing repair parts in quantity.

That's a bummer. Hopefully your insurance (preferably numbnuts' insurance, though) will cover both the body panel and the replacement of the graphics. Glad to see that it was pretty much a glancing blow and nothing serious.

I had a Rav4 that happened to within the first month of ownership. That sucked. Too bad you don't have one of the insurance companies that gives you a brand new one within an alloted amount of time since purchasing.

ahhh...dont you just love new car ownership!?! back in 1995, i was 4 blocks from home in my new chevy beretta. With less then 5,000 miles on the odometer, i got rear ended....$3700 in damages. At about 20,000 mile mark, i was sitting in McDonald's eating and the manager taps me on the shoulder --''mr.....you own that red chevy in the parking lot??'' Some guy on his lunch break backed up his flat deck truck into the rear quarter of the beretta ...another $1800. Got it all fixed and sold it just as the 3 year warranty about to expire. Of course, i disclosed the accidents to potential buyers and car took a long time to sell. The fact it had 2 repaired accidents and chevy's spotty reliability/resale reputation...i lost 9 grand in 3 years. Thats why im hesitant to buy the HHR until a few years pass and it is proven to at least meet average reliability. I noticed already that they dont hold value very good....thats why im holding out for a really good deal with incentives. No way im gonna pay $30 grand plus taxes for an economy car , then get stuck with some lemon i cant sell for less then half value in 2 years. Just my opinion...place your attacks here>>>______________________.

Sorry to hear that enri.
Chooch, good luck finding an everyday domestic vehicle that does hold it's value.
I've got a first year HHR....best vehicle I've had since my 1989 Cavalier RS.
The 1989 Cavalier was basically rated to be a POS, but it was better built and more reliable than my 1998, 2001, and 2003 Chevy's.
