Traded in my bagged hhr
Got rid of the bagged hhr. A Honda dealer had a z71 I wanted and they were kind enough to take my hhr as a trade and they actually gave me what I owed. They don't know anything about the air bags so it will be funny when it runs out of air

When I traded in my truck for the SS, they had no idea it should have been totaled a few months before. But they did almost 6 grand in body work and when they went for a test drive, the trans was cooked. Truck was only valued at 6700 and I still got 4500 for it on trade in.

We love it! Maybe the dealerships should do a more thurough inspection when purchasing or taking a vehicle in trade 
! How many times do you see that they sell cars as is only to have the purchaser be told he's 
S.O.L.?Peace.....

On the part of the dealer selling the car or the person trading it in? I don't think I've ever been asked to disclose any information on any of the vehicles I have ever traded in. They do their own inspection, you expect them to do it well.

I told them it was bagged they didn't ask. They dogged me for painting it myself too. They called around and had three people give them offers before they would tell me what they would give me. So I'm sure they had it sold rig away for what they gave me. They wouldn't let me take anything but the speaker and amp. I really wanted to swap wheel but I couldnt. It was the Honda dealer in lake Jackson tx. I still have a 51 chevy to play with so I don't think I'll miss it too much. It looked good in pics but it had problems. Exhaust leaks check engine lights cause of the evap canister and what not
