After talking with the dealer and working out a reasonable price, I decided to purchase the silver 2010 HHR LS with 117k miles. The sales lady attested that they do a full and thorough 36 point check and flush/replace all fluids, adjust/replace any front end components such as CV's, sway bars, bearings...etc. The car has new brakes, rubber and filters. I test drove the vehicle and it runs like it was brand new!

 

Sounds good! welcome to the forum by the way, since you are officially here for a bit! the engine in these cars are good for a long time if taken care of...more than a few members have well over 100k, and some 200k. i would assume that its hwy mileage???

 

Awesome! Welcome!

 

Sweet. An official welcome to the site now. As previously stated the engines in these will run a long time with minimal maintenance. Just don't neglect it.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I'm a forum junky and will be posting here regularly! I'll get some pics of my new ride this evening and post them.

 

Congratulations on your purchase of a HHR, Augmented78!

And just to let you know, (some) car sales people lie. If it ain't in writing, it didn't happen.

NOOOOOO!

 

Congrats and Welcome

 

Yeah, this is true. However, it was purchased from a reputable new car dealer and they have a good standing reputation around here. I did check the fluids and everything, and they look clean. The oil life on the info center reads 99%.

 

Also, I did find one minor issue. The turn signal (when engaged for right turn), sometimes does not want to auto disengage...sometimes it does, however. I'm going to follow this DIY https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-tutorial-library-21/turn-signal-canceling-failure-fix-lots-pics-37992/
