If opting for a model with a manual transmission, be sure to check that the clutch isn’t on its way out. Any slipping or grinding could be a sign of a worn clutch or even transmission trouble. Conversely, hard or aggressive shifting from a model with the automatic gearbox could be a sign of a problem with a sensor or computer module controlling the gearbox.
Some owners say their HHR’s suspension components have worn out prematurely -- so a good going-over of the vehicle’s underside by a mechanic is recommended. Note any clunking or popping noises, especially from the front end, which could be evidence of a worn out suspension part.
The Verdict Of A Used Chevrolet HHR: Lower-than-average resale value combine with low running costs and high flexibility to make a well-maintained, mechanically fit HHR a decent used buy.
