Traded my 08 LS for a 11 LS

Hi every one I had a 2008 HHR ls and it was a pure nightmare electrical problems like crazy and on my 24th visit to the dealer GM and the dealer worked me out just about $8,000 in discounts to get me out of this car I feel this 08 was abused bad or had water damage had a weird smell I could not get rid of mold type of smell so im guessing car fax don't get all info lol that is why i got a brand new 11 HHR ls i picked it when the truck was dropping it off it was on the top of the trailer so I had to wait till the guy could get it off the truck i love the black granite color and thought i was going to have to settle for white till the truck pulled up the good thing I will know how this car was treated since it has 2 miles on it and i hope and pray for better luck with it

You're a braver man than I. If I had that type of experience with a certain type of car, I would have never bought the same thing again

good luck with your new HHR

the new 2011

Im new at this and will post some pics soon as i can and figure out how my new HHR is a 11 black granite ls Black on black I know it was hard to buy the same vehicle again but I feel the 08 was put through pure hell and maybe flood damage before i got it my new one now has 2300 miles on it and yes it has been in the shop at 900 miles the left front brake was making a hard scrub noise dealer fixed all and all I like it the weird thing is my insurance dropped 70 bucks with the same coverage form the 08 I guess all the new safety features that the 08 did not have ABS, Side airbags and stability control who know i thought it was going to go up will be taking it on a 470 mile trip to see my family in Florida Easter the only thing i did like is the damn Firestone tires they will hydroplane in a puddle of ant piss and are loud but all and all its grate
