I actually was trying to trade mine in 2 months ago for a new 4dr wrangler...love that darn thing...anyway...my trade in values were between $9000-$11000!! That hurt my feelings so I kept my belived grey ghost. BTW..I have a LS with 6000 miles. Manual with XM and ABS.

 

guess were married to our car, first one ive owned that took this big of a hit

just think when that panel hits the market and every delivery drug store and restaurant in town starts buyin them whats gonna happen

 

almost worth letting them repo it and gettin a another car on a high intrest rate....

i wanted to trade to for something a little bigger but i cant take that much of a loss

 

I hate to say it but we did get a mid-level economy car! Not really much of a surprise, there just wasn't a big 1st year demand like there was for the PT or the Miata. Those held their value for a few years before it dropped. GM just didn't put much of an effort into promoting it. They really couldn't afford to.

Just think, if we'd waited, we could get a few of the custom HHR's that were done for less that what we paid for ours.

I'm still very happy with mine. I figure they'll drop a bit and then level out.

 

I'm not worried, because I LOVE MY HHR so much that I plan to keep it 'til it is paid off anyway, my wife & I even plan on buying a second one. I only feel sorry for all of the suckers out there driving around in Toyotas & Hondas and blending into the boring suburban landscape...

 

i like mine too but ive out grown it! i need more room and more towing capacity something like a trail blazer. just sucks for the ones who need to get out of their hhr because of lifestyle changes and so on.

 

Try using Edmunds.com to get a value. I just did recently and Edmunds' trade-in value was nearly $500 more than KBB's. Yeah, that's not much... but it's the difference between $12,750 and $13,250. Edmunds also lets you value your HHR with the running boards and a real spoiler (if so equipped) unlike KBB. And BTW, NADA's is like $2,000 more than KBB!

 

its all hogwash anyway....you cant trade your car to the books...only matters what a REAL dealer gives you. Unless you sell it outright.
