JX3, get on YahooCars and Cars.com and search for HHRs in your area. I spent three weeks looking at these and running CarFax reports online ($30.00 for a month of unlimited use). I searched all around and came up with "Elvis", my 2009 2LT with 13k miles. I paid $14,300, and it looked near new when I got it. It does not have leather or a sunroof, but has most everything else. Look around and don't jump at the first one you see. Seriously compare, and you'll start to see trends and can tell a good deal. You can sort my miles, price, etc. I hope this helps. I like my HHR, and am very happy i held out for the 2.4 liter engine. Lots of zip, especially in the usuable mid-range. If you don't mind traveling, the folks at Kenly Chevrolet in Kenly, NC know how to pick a used car and how to deal (919-284-2131). God Bless, and happy hunting, Marc

 

I paid right around $14,000 for my used 08 2LT with 24,000 miles.

 

Mine is for sale. My wife got another new car and this one just sits in the garage!

 

Well, we are now the owners of a gray '06 HHR. Found it at a local Chevy dealer, 1-owner, GM certified with 30K miles. Pretty much loaded with leather heated seats, sunroof, chrome wheels, running boards, new tires, roof rack and the Pioneer system. We are happy. I am sure I will be using this forum for questions and advice!

 

Congrats!

Congratulations on your purchase! I just procured my HHR yesterday and am loving it. I'm sure you'll fall in love with your car just as I did.

One thing that kinda shocked me though was the lack of aftermarket roof racks. I have the chrome roof rails now and, if there actually existed a from-the-roof-up alternative, I'd remove those rails in a second for an actual, high load capacity Thule or Yakima as I've had before. The only thing I've seen is a Thule adapter kit for the factory rails. I've played around with those rails and I was able to wiggle 'em with my bare hands; I don't know how sturdy those things are.
