Mine had 21...5 of those 21 were put on by me during a test-drive...I live in NJ but bought it in Allentown, PA (I knew the front bumper wouldn't be drilled out for a license plate), so I had a nice trek back to NJ to get to know my new ride (back in late June 2009). I still get just as excited to drive it now as I did then...even more so, now that I've made it "mine" with my mods. The only other car I felt this attached to was my '01 New Beetle, which was totalled by a tow truck driver while it was parked in front of my work building.

Just hope it has a lot of miles left...lots and lots and lots of 'em...

 

I used to cringe when the odometer passed the 36K mark, and then I'd start thinking about trading in before the repairs start racking up on a vehicle out of warranty. But now, I love racking up the miles - it's like a contest to see how many collective miles I can get on my three vehicles. It is most definitely a lot cheaper to keep cars longer and pay them off. I used to pay $3-$4K per year just in car payments, but now pay about $1K in repairs and maintenance. The biggest ticket item costs on my vehicles so far have been tires and brakes.

 

It's been so long since I've had a car w/high miles...my last 4 cars (all bought new):

'98 Red TDI New Beetle (this was a 3-yr lease): turned in with just under 45k
'01 Vortex Blue 1.8T New Beetle: totalled in Dec 2004 with about 44k on it
'05 Electric Blue Pearl PT Cruiser GT: traded in April '07 after one too many quality issues...had about 36k on it...traded it in for an '07 Ford Escape XLT that is going strong @67k
'09 HHR SS...I'll keep this well past 100k if it holds up...I take uber-good care of my cars...I'd love to get in the 120k-130k range.

 

About to hit 27k. Bought it in Nov. 2009 with 11.5k.

Might actually be putting it up for sale soon. Wife desperately wants to get back into a Volvo S60 (she totalled her last one), and the SS is not practical for me to use, although I love driving it. Stay tuned.

 

Mine just rolled by 35,000 miles.

 

Sitting at 8351 as of right now with my 2010.

 

Bought mine in Aug. 10, with 24 miles on it. As of Jan. 10 2011 have 11,200 miles on it. So far loving it, big time. "Moon'

 

my first HHR the 2009 2lt had 12 miles when I first took it for a test drive in which i put 150 miles on it. I thought I was going to be getting a different one. But i bought it may of 09 and just traded it in and it had 19k on it. I traded it for an 08 SS with only 6000 miles on it then i drove to florida and back so it has 9500 miles on it now.

 

8800, brought home with 38, most our test drive lol. Ruby is fine as wine..

 

I got mine back in may with 12k on it, 28k on it now. lol 16k in 8 months.
