I searched on the GM Supplier website for one optioned like I wanted and found two identical cars. One in Lodi (hour drive) and one in Sacramento (hour and a half). Emailed both dealers for a quote and Lodi seemed like a better deal so I was going to get that one but when I went to pick it up it wasn't ready. Said when they prepped it a check engine light came on, some defective part. They ordered it and 2 days later it was fixed then they test drove it and the light came on again. Had to order another part and would take a week. By then I had decided to get a different car. Went to Sacramento the following saturday. Got the same exact car and a better deal. Mine was also built 03/08

But after the dealership made the trade with the other dealer and got the HHR here, when we went to pick it up, it was better looking then what I thought it was going to be. Husband thought the samething after seeing it. It's Victory Red and I think the pinstripes and the roof rack break up the color, which I like better then it just being one big soild color. I did find the date "Mickey" was made, 3/08.

Good move. Sounds like a rotten lemon waiting to happen
