They offered me $3500.
I took mine to carmax over the weekend expecting an offer round 7500-8k minimum. They offered me $3500.

I got somewhere around 6000 for my 07 lt2
With 98000
When I traded it in
How many miles are on ss
Any reason you can think of for them offering so low.
I am guessing they did not look it up as being an ss
Still sounds awful low regardless

I have 92K on it. Its clean other than rock chips and a couple door dings. I know the mileage is getting high, but that's why I was expecting only $7500 or so.
I didn't mention to them it has a freshly rebuilt transmission (new bearings, seals, synchros, and clutch package) after throwing a bearing or a newly rebuilt top end due to carbon coking on the valves (thanks 100K warranty). Don't think it woulda mattered. They didn't want it.
I'm looking at buying a 2nd home, so I may list it here and on Autotrader if I find what I want. It will go towards the deposit.

Wow, and I thought I got lowballed when they offered me $8k. Mine had <60k miles on an '08, I had all maintenance records, and the only issues were the rock chips up front. Ended up settling on $11k, the dealership listed it at $16,995 and continually lowered it until it either sold or they took it to auction, last I saw it was at $12,995.

Look at Autotrader if you want to see what they're actually going for. In the search engine, I used "over 100,000 miles and "SS" for a keyword.
I found the following just now:
Used 2009 Chevrolet HHR SS Black 108,850 miles $13,0991
Used 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS Red 102,943 miles $10,995
Used 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS Red 156,000 miles Red $7,000
NADA's numbers for trading in a base equipped 2008 SS (i.e. std stereo, no sunroof, etc) with 100,000 miles at a dealer are:
$7,575 for rough
$8,725 for average
$9,675 for clean
A clean SS as described above retails for $12,275
