Hi just bought a used HHR. I was curious if I got a good deal on it or not.
(I have no clue how these things retain their value - that's why I am curious)
I'll give you a few details about it.
HHR LT
64,000 miles
Manual trans
Sunroof (opens)
Leather interior
heated seats
all the normal items on steering wheel (radio controls, cruise, etc)
spotless inside and out.
I gave $5,200 out the door (taxes, tags, etc)

 

KBB.COM is a good place for car values.

 

Based on a quick peek at Cars.com, and the KBB "Black Book", you did alright .

It looks very clean and sharp.

 

What year is it and which engine does it have ?

 

His profile indicates it's an 07, and the rims mean it's a 1LT Package which would indicate a high probability of a 2.2 L-61 lurking beneath the hood.

 

It's a 2007 - according to VIN info it says this about the engine
3.6L V6 DI / 2.3L L4 (LD2) / 4.1L L6

 

If it has a V-6, a prototype escaped from GM.

If the 8th digit/letter of your VIN is a "D" you have a 2.2, if the 8th digit/letter is a "P" you have a 2.4 under the hood.

 

None of those engines is possible.

The options you .mention, sunroof, leather, heated seats etc. would most likely make it a 2LT with a 2.4L engine.

 

But the '07 2LT's came with the flat faced 17" alloys as standard, those are the 16" 1LT rims on his, so it might be a really well equipped 1LT that was special ordered with all the "bells and whistes".

 

The 8th letter is a D... so I am guessing you all are correct saying it is a 2.2.
I know none of this sounded right (3.6L V6 DI / 2.3L L4 (LD2) / 4.1L L6)... so that's why I posted what the VIN said it had...

As far as the model; I don't know the difference between a LT1 and an LT2.
I does seem to have a lot of bells and whistles; but then again I don't know what is standard options these days.
The heated seats, leather interior, etc did make me think it could of been special ordered?? But no way of knowing.
I'd LOVE to be able to get the original window sticker somehow.
