I had to go to a local dealership this morning to sign for two new fleet vehicles that arrived for my customers. The individual I deal with had another customer with him at the time so he just gave me the keys. I knew what area they were in and went searching. FOund my two cars and right between them was a very dust and pollen covered two tone HHR. No tags on it. Rear decal that read "American Luxury Coach". Through the thick covering, I could tell it was dark red on top of black. I glanced throught the window and it looked like a two tone leather interior (gray/darl charcoal I think). Carbon fider on the dash. Billet grill, upper and lower. ANd tripple port holes on the hood. I looked at the wheels and a nice set of 18" Foose wheels with 245/40ZR18 wrapped around them. Price tag for this hidded wonder was $28K . It is an 2006 model, but seems to have never been put on display. Poor thing looked bad sitting there like that. But execpt for the wheels, I would have walked by it if I was shopping. Paint was ok. Port holes, Looked way to PT with them. Plus port holes are for Buicks. Maybe cleaned up, I would like it better. But for $28K, no way.

They also had just unloaded a Golden Teal 2LT with polished wheels. Still don't care for that color.

 

Did it look like this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sounds like you described this one!!!




This one was on Ebay a while back and I don't know if it sold or not.

I have grabbed pictures, of various two-tone painted HHR's, for ideas, good & bad.

Later,

That's it. But a lot cleaner......

 

I think that one looks good!! But not for that price!!

 

Solman....

Did you ask anyone at the dealership about it?

It's not beyond dealers to "forget" or "loose" a vehicle.

I acquired on rent, a couple of Ford pick-ups from a dealer here (used for comparison testing). Rental was for a 2 week period. I called the dealer, for pick-up, 3 times after they sat at our facility for 6-7 weeks. They kept insisting the vehicles were not theirs. Finally got the owner of the dealership, and he looked into it. Called back about 2 hours later, really thanking me. Had a really strong, solid relationship with that dealer from that point on. Got any vehicle I wanted, cheap.

Oh, I bet the dealer is taking a "beating" on the floor plan. Should be able to pick it up, for cost.

 

Looks like they are trying to sell one state to far north.

Just slap this plate on the front and park it on campus........

 

You know, I think your right on that PT look. We all know it's a HHR, but if you were to just glance at it, I think you would get the idea that it is a PT. I don't know if it's the wheels, port holes or paint scheme, but IMO something makes it look like a PT. Man, I'd hate to be sitting on that one this late into 2007, someone is going to take a bath.

I asked the salesman I deal with on my Fleet vehicles about it and he just mentioned it was a conversion model. That was the first time I saw it from a distance. Today I was back there my my lonesome and got to browse around. So I took a closer look. That's when I got more info on it. I'd love to have those Foose's. The went right to the fender's edge.....

That's tells me of a good tire size to consider in the future.
