Ok, a request was put in on another related poll.
Does YR-1 mean (to the best of your understanding),
(a) owner/driver, of a HHR during the first year, Aug.-Sept.(?)2005--July-Aug.(?)2006, prior to the next year of production, or
(b) anyone who buys a 2006 model, hence forth and forever, like I just buy one tomorrow, will I be a YR-1 owner???
And as usual, you don`t have to comment to vote, or vote either...

 

I got mine in Spetember 05, So I would say first year owner should have owned it the first year.

 

Do we loose a point for leap year?

I would say ownership acquisition is one's start date.
As in a warranty period, it doesn't start with the start of the model year, it starts with the day you took it home.

1st year owner, I would interpret that as owning it the first production year it was produced. Which is what your are Black Beauty, right? I believe Z-Man is as well.

 

Regardless whether I purchased it in the first year or bought it used, it is still the first year production run for HHR's.

 

I agree. I bought my HHR when they first came out but a first year model is a first year model no matter when it is purchased.

 

I have to agree with JESSE..........

It was those of us who purchased new, and experienced the probs that came with a first run production, who have earned HHR YR-1 titles. While used 06s are first run, the original owners are the ones who lived through most of the probs.

 

Hmmm, The Deer Slayer by name, became The Deer Slayer in 12/2005

 

I agree, JX3. We took the risk of buying a new model and new technology. Don't think I'd even consider buying a used '06. Unless they were rental cars, there's probably a good reason the original owner traded them in.

 

Whatever happened to the Captain Howdy I used to know?

I agree. If it was manufactured as a first year run, that makes it a first year. Now mine was built in 2005 although it is a 2006. Does that make it a pre-schooler? Just kidding...................BB and Z-Man...youse guys are wit us.

 

I'd say you can be a YR-1 owner who has owned the car since new or bought it later. YR-1 to me is the model year, not purchase date. What about the 06's that are still on lots?
