How much is she worth?

I am considering selling the Princess.

I love the car but I am thinking of selling it and.... Buying another one! Actually I would like to get one with the AA5 rear window delete and the better sound system. With my GM family discount and the prices now I am thinking I may be able to get one exactly like I want for a reasonable cash amount. So please tell me how much the White Princess is worth.
2008 with 31,000 miles, Non smoker, I bought it for gas mileage and I do not hot rod it. I added the rear spoiler, Solstice wheels, lowered it, Airiad filter, 2.4 intake manifold, Dechromed it, Front Air dam, HHr stickers, 2.4 exhaust system including larger down pipe and cat. Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler (sounds really nice yet it is not loud) Gets between 23-25/33-38 MPG
I have a number in mind and if I can get that then I will sell it and order the new one.

I'm assuming it started out as an LS? I bought my '08 LS with 33,000 miles from the local Chevy dealer for a little under $13,000. Are you selling it as-is?

Its probably worth more if you Burn. KBB says 10k So you will be lucky to get 8k for it.

I wish you luck. Even with GM discount, I think you will be far behind the cost of a new one. If you can find one the same age as yours with your preferred options, then it wouldnt cost much more.
And you wont get your money back for the items you added, you are better off removing and selling them separately.

Wow, 99.9% of HHR owners would Love to own the Princess! If your done with most mods I would seriously just consider keeping her and enjoying! Just can't see replacing such a "Nice" ride unless doing your part in keeping the economey afloat is your main reason for selling and starting over!

Enjoy the Sweet Ride,

It doesn't get much nicer than yours! You'll be lucking to be trading for 10K I'm afraid. I'm a white HHR car fan, and with those wheels, why you wanna go doing that?

She is a clean car

I had in mind a nice clean simple subtle look with a serious side. I think I have achevied the look I wanted except for I like the rear window delete. As for the mods, I would be doing most of the same things to the new one. My mileage started off at 21/30 then with the mods it went up to 25/38 but now I think I have an O2 sensor going bad and it has dropped back down some. Did a data log on it and it says it is a bad O2 sensor. I suspect (Hope!) it will go back up when I replace it.
Overall I am very pleased with the car, mileage, performance and look. I understand they will be dropping the HHR so I thought I would like to get a new one just like I want before they go away.
If I can get into the new one for $6,000 then I would be happy. For my use this is the best car I have ever had. Get a new one with the options I want and plan on keeping it.
The only thing I may take off of it is the lowering springs because you can not find the Goldline springs any more and I love them. If I do this I might order a set of Eibach springs and try them then keep the ones I like best and sell the others with the car.
Thanks for your opinions it helps me make up my mind and gives me a better idea what to ask for it (Her).

The princess is simply gorgeous.

Sorry you need to sell her...

Unless you want a new SS?
A white HHR SS would be magnificent, regardless of the versions.... However, GM decided otherwise....
