Hi!! Just picked up an '07 yesterday for the Wife's B'day present. It's replacing the '93 Sunbird convertable she had.
Gold w/Black interior, auto, leather seats, chrome rims.
Sharp looking,, if I do say so myself.
edit for more info;
Has 29,100 miles on it as of today. Del turned it over to the 29 mark during her test drive of it on Thursday.
Build date of 06-06. Kinda cool I, (ahem), WE,,, got it just past it's 3rd B'day....
Figured out most of the stereo system, but dayum,,,, there's a lot of functions in there.....
Haven't stuck my nose into the owners manual yet, she's still studying on it.
Looks to me like it'll need new tires before winter. They have good tread depth in the middle, but the grooves from there to the outer edge looks fairly worn. Probally original tires, and I know those don't last long.
end edit;
Still going over it learning everything.
I've liked the looks of the HHR's ever since they came out, but didn't really want a car payment again. Saw a Dark Red '06 sitting over in Jonesville, for sale $7,250. Made mention of liking the looks of it to Del, she said "let's get one".
Never caught any one home there, so we talked with Jeff, our neighbor and a salesman over in Coldwater. He brought home a couple of them. Del liked this '07, alot!!!
So,,, called Jeff yesterday AM, told him to make it ours. 3 hours later and it's sitting in our driveway. She's Happy, our Son Christopher (17) is in awe of it. Me, well,,, I have no allowance now for a few years, but I be Happy with getting it....
