About to hit 93k on my new 08.

 

I bought my '07 used in August of '08 with 30K on it. I now have 68k on it. (Just under 80 miles per day, five days a week. No driving to speak of on the weekend.) At this rate I will pass 100K in the last week of January 2012.

 

2006 2LT A/T
118,000 miles as of today.

bought Dec 31, 2007 w/ 32k on it.

BROKEN/FAILED PARTS: thermostat

WEAR AND TEAR: 2 sets front rotors/pads(warpage)
2 tires
cabin air filters
engine air filter
oil changes
ELECTIVE CHANGES: complete ebony interior swap from light gray
vent shade visors(in-channel) for all 4 windows

TO DO LIST: 2 more tires
spark plugs


it was purchased at the height of the fuel pricing joke/gouging, and used as a daily driver 135 miles/day round trip. I was racking up miles like a bee does pollen which is why i am so upside-down on the value.

I have to admit, this car has been very good to me with regards to cost/miles.
I average between 29.9 mpg to 32.6 mpg, depending on the route i take.

 

As of today our 06 hhr turned 180,000. Only major repair was Hub bearings about 2,000 miles ago. We purchased it in July of 06 and have been very happy with it.

 

I can't wait until my HHR gets into the 100+k range, I won't feel as guilty collecting parts for my swap. It only has 66k as of now.

 

Wow, that is good news. I hope I have that luck. My2008 just turned forty thou.

 

You guys make me feel good! I'm all sad because my '06 is about to hit 50k! Guess it's not even broke in yet!!!

 

my 06 was purchased at 120,848 I think. Last week was when I bought it and today it said 121,127 I think. I actually can't remember off the top of my head.

The interior is perfect, no damage or anything to it. Here is a list of what works:
Door Locks
AC
Door Locks
Windows
All Wipers

What doesn't work:
Remote Start (Reprogram of Key Fod needed)

Since I bought it I made the dealer give me new brakes, tires, roters, and have an appointment to get a new oil pan. The oil pan is dented and has a small leak needing to be fixed. Other then that she is a charm.

 

I just replaed the front bearings & it looks like I need to do brakes again, I had quite a rumble from the right front, so i did them both- was pretty easy! but I see that I have a bit of rotor warp because of the bad bearing, I am going to have them turned and get new pads.

 

130,000 and still Looks, smells and runs like new, not one thing wrong with it.
