07 panel
Greetings from Oklahoma! Long time lurker here, I went back and looked and I signed up here April 30, 2011.
Well yesterday was my big day, I became the owner of a 2007 Panel LS with 19,300 miles. I thought that was pretty good but I see here in the intro's that someone else found one with 2300 miles.
I bought the Panel for personal and business use. I work as a courier for a pharmacuetical company delivering drugs to nursing homes and group homes throughout southeastern Oklahoma. My route covers 340 miles a night, so my poor Panel won't be low mileage for long.
Last night was my first trip and the vehicle performed perfectly until I got home and locked my keys inside. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I was able to break in with a wood wedge and coat hanger in about 5 minutes. Obtaining a spare set of keys is now high priority, I only got one set of keys with the purchase.
Fuel mileage indicated on the dash was 33.0 mpg for my trip last night. Doing the calculations at fill up yielded 32.6 mpg.
Number one on my list of issues I've discovered is i need new wiper blades all around, I must have the factory originals. They are pretty "chatter-y".
I plan to keep everyone updated on my progress. With the miles I drive I imagine I might run into every known issue there is at some point, maybe even find a few unknown issues. We'll be putting this vehicle to the test!

Congrats on the new purchase. You shouldnt have many problems at all. The usual hhr complaints. But like any car they all have their issues. Overall these run a long time without many problems. And since you found a low milage one it couldnt have been run into the ground much. Just take car of it and it will take care of you. Enjoy your new hhr
to the forum(slightly belated), and congrats on your new ride Steve!
Mighty Spiffy!
