Well, a few weeks ago the gal got rear ended and her car got totaled, so we've been in the market for a new (used) one. We have been looking for something that gets mileage, is stylish, and she can put the stroller in easily, plus has good rear seat room for the rear facing car seat. With a cap of 10k and the credit union only offering full loan value on vehicles 2005 and newer it was a tough find. She had to have a sunroof and I had to have american with under 75k on the clock. After an exhaustive search, I finally found this:
Yep; it's a chebbie.
It's a 2006 HHR 2LT to be exact. She wanted me to go see it and I was reluctant, but I went anyway and to my surprise I really liked it. It's loaded up with heated leather, sunroof, power everything, pioneer 6 disc stereo with factory sub, running boards, remote start, 17" alloys, the bigger 175hp 2.4L, and only 60k on the clock, all for $2300 under retail! Plus I think the look has a lot of character compared to a cookie cutter SUV or minivan.
Sorry Ford gods, I actually like this thing....
