Hi from Estonia
Hi, I'm new here, greetings from Estonia! I bought a car a month ago, the gearbox problem.
need to change the differential bearings and spindle bearing. with the gearbox repairs will cost a total of € 300.
the car is black in color, 2006, 2.4L 5-speed manual. the car is from Pennsylvania, LT2 with the OnStar system's equipment. Leather upholstery and all the other extras. mileage is 230 000km. I am very happy with this car, here in these cars are only 28 pieces :)
I use google translator, because English is not my native language. I understand everything :)
Kaido.

Welcome to the site.
300 euros translates to 408.3 US dollars so it sounds like you are getting a pretty good deal. It seems like every time I take mine to the dealer, it doesn't matter much for what, they almost always figure it will cost me $1,500 for whatever it is I need done.
230,000 km is just under 150,000 miles, that's about how many miles were on my '06 when we got it.
We have just under 200,000 on it now. Unfortunately the engine has gone bad in it so I will be replacing it soon. I wanted a new 'crate' engine but those are just not available at an affordable price so I'm getting a used one with just a tad over 60,000 miles on it.
I tried my best not to like the HHR when the wife brought it home, mainly because we had just paid off our Dodge Neon and I was looking forward to not having a car payment for a while, but it has grown on me.

So, what i can say... drivening about week in my car and everything is ok after transmission repairing
still i can say, that car is incredible... I do not regret buying it
I bought steel rims for winter 16 " and 215 / 55-16 all season winter tires.
i check fuel consumption... in City drivening about 11 litres per 100km and highway is 8 L/100km. so I'm happy with it
very cool car
