My daily driver '09 HHR SS needs about 6 grand in work. Should I fix it, get a new economy car, or finance a used c6 corvette and get a craigslist beater for a daily?
>>
What the fuck could break on a 7 year old car to need $6000 worth of work bro
>>
C5 Z06 bruh
>>
>>15735324
Major suspension issues.
>>
>>15735317
fix it. there's nothing that can properly replace an HHR SS.
>>
>>15735340
I've looked into the c5's but personal preference, I prefer the c6

I own the HHR by the way. No payments.
>>
>>15735345
list them. I know my Delta cars.
>>
>>15735387
The shop told me over the phone. I don't recall the details.
>>
>>15735404
unless you're replacing the entire suspension, front and rear or replacing the electric power steering system, I think they're fucking you over. The HHR suspension is identical to that of the Chevy Cobalt. Find out EXACTLY what is wrong, then come back and ask questions here.
>>
>>15735435
Will do. I'm just exploring my options.
>>
>>15735435
Also, having issues like this at only 50k miles is not really doing much for my confidence in this car.
>>
Keep the hhr ss. Digging the color too. You rarely see these too. And yeah 6 grand for suspension? I'd find out exactly what needs replacing. Suspension shouldn't cost that much. I'd try and do what you can yourself too.
>>
>>15735825
Literally I'm shit with a wrench. I break things replacing a toilet paper stand.
>>
>>15735951
even then. Delta cars are so fucking easy to work on, it's ridiculous. There is no way it costs 6k to do anything suspension related unless it's a full custom one-off race suspension.

GM quality, ladies and gentlemen

>>15737469
more like shitty, lying mechanics.
>>
Did you gey a fix everything quote from firestone or whatever? I could replace every single bushing, ball joint, shock and spring for less than 6k thats fishy as fuck. Less than 2000 even
>>
C6 and a daily.

i have a nice GTO and a cheap jeep to drive daily, best decision I made car wise. I honestly can't understand why people just have 1 car
>>
>>15737547
Plus you can get rid of the homo hot rod
>>
>>15737547
>Cheap
>Jeep
More like gas guzzling and inefficient
>>
>>15737561
Ehh gas is a little over $2/gal. Not a big deal, and I need something 4x4 that will carry tools and shit for work

It's all good if you're established and have a nice home but most of us are poorfags still in college and literal kids.
>>
>>15735317
Get a new car. If this one needs $6K already, it's not a keeper.
>>
>>15735387
What's a Delta car?
>>
>>15735317
the only car that's uglier than a PT crusier isn't worth 6 grand.
>>
>>15735317
I love my HHR, cheap as hell to fix too. Mechanics fucking You over st 6k
>>
>>15737717
It changes from time to time
>>
>>15735317
Why not just drive it?
>>
>>15735345
>suspension
>mac strut shitbox

nigger please you could replace every single suspension and steering component on the car for like $1000
>>
>>15737602

call da poh lice
>>
>>15735317
>part it out and get some cash for it

imo I think a C4 or C5 would be a better idea but you do you pal
