Actually, I've made eight payments but whose counting. I buy a new vehicle on average about every 11 months, I know all about depreciation. The HHR depreciated more in the 9 months I owned it than any other vehicle I have owned.


To everyone else concerned about gas mileage:

I only averaged 19 MPG in the HHR, if I get 12 mpg in the Dodge it's all the same to me. It's not like I was getting 30 mpg and now dropping to 12 mpg.


Thanks Snoopy, I keep tabs on the HHR right here.

A new vehicle every 11 months!?!?!?! Wow.

Sorry the HHR didn't work out for you.

I guess if you can afford to trade in every 11 months gas mileage is no big deal. Good luck

If I got 19mpg I'd be tempted to drive ours directly to the dealer and leave it !!

It must be nice to have a new car every year

I would have to try pretty hard to get as bad as 19mpg.
