New Owner

Just bought a 2008 SS with 74000KM(46000miles). Black. Manual. What specific maintenance procedures should I do or expect to do? Appreciate any and all advice.

to the forum, and congrats on your new ride!

At 74,000km, you should only need to do the maintenance specified in your Owner's Manual.

If your manual is missing, just click the link below and select your model year to download a free copy.

Thanks. Owners manual is with car. One owner before me. Bought Mar 2009 with 289km on it. Clean CarProof.

Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like it lead a pampered life, SS's are highly strung, but just like their normally aspirated cousins...regular maintenance pays dividends.

Drive it, enjoy it, and we're glad to have you here!

Just wondering if I overpaid. Once I drove this car I wanted it. Didn't really care what I paid. Only 2 for sale in all of Canada, did some research before pulling the trigger. The other one was 3300 km away so it was pretty much out of the equation. It was listed for $13900.

Paid $14000 for mine. Like I said it has 74000Km-46000miles on it. Clean CarProof. No body damage/scratches/rust. Only issue, which dealer is fixing, is clips in mount for sunroof are broken.

Thanks!

WELCOME turtizzle22!!! Nice to see yet another Canadian owner here. The price paid seems pretty fair to me - I'm envious. :)

How about posting some pics when you get a chance. We all LOVE pics.

Thanks. Definitely puts me at ease. Went from a 2000 VW Jetta to the HHR. Have a 2011 Corolla XRS as well. The HHR is my new fav vehicle.
