Trade in Value

[kacyk]

Any sales people out there? We are trading in our 2003 H2 (Lux) with 21K miles for a new H3. What might I expect for a trade in value? I do not have a loan on our H2.

The last H2 we traded in had 34K miles and it had the Adventure Package. I got $36,000.00 for the trade, which seemed reasonable at the time.

However, if you have a full tank of fuel when you go to trade it you may get $50K for it. LOL...

[kacyk]

Well, KBB says it's worth $37,200 on trade but it seems that every damn dealer wants to give the auction price instead.

Also, the H3 I'm looking at is $38,200 retail (plus an extra $4,800.00 for "market adjustment"). Well, screw the "market adjustment" but I think the chances of me paying $1,000.00 OTD for the whole deal is unlikely.

good luck getting kbb trade in value. most if not all dealerships give black book value which is often thousands less. if kbb shows 37k you may be looking at 32k.

[aggiehummer...er]

That's good on the miles, depending on the color I'd say about 33k.

[aggiehummer...er]

And don't pay any market adjustment fees. That's pure unethical profit for the dealer, in my opinion.

Heck, for 4800 bucks you could fly to Dallas, buy one from me, drive it back, and still save thousands of dollars.

[slgcmg]

which dealer do you work at aggie?

[KenP]

Retail to Retail, wholesale to wholesale.

The problem is you won't get retail for the H2, and you'll pay retail for the H3. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Because of aformentioned gas prices and the fact we can buy GM demos with under 1k miles at auctions for uunbelieveable prices we have been taking in H2 trades for between 30 and 32 k

[kacyk]

Ouch!

[dochummer]

ditto!

[Testtube302]

Instead of taking a HUGE hit at the dealer You might want to try to sell it privately. Iam currently in the market to purchase a H2 if the price is right. My email address is testtube@tampabaydsl.com

[4churchill]

Private sales will bring more money, because they don't have to safety smog and advertise the vehicles they take in on trade, plus they are not looking to re-sell them right away....

[Boss Hoss]

Full sticker plus $4,800 "market adjustment"? OUCH!!!

Heres my 2cents; tell them **** off and buy else where. Im sure you could call different dealers and work them off of each other....then sell your H2 private party.

[HummerNewbie]

I think you should sell your H2 yourself and fly to TX to buy the H3. You have to do it so you can time everything to stop off and meet everyone in Moab on the way back this way we can all see pics of the H3 there http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[4churchill]

In the beginning we had $5k mark-up, then we had $1995 now they are at sticker. I mean in the beginning some will pay. now at sticker they are flying off the shelves

[aggiehummer...er]

Our H3s have always gone for sticker. I'm at Sewell Hummer in Plano, TX. Just PM me with what you're looking for and I'll do what I can to help, we have around 85 H3s on the lot right now.

[kacyk]

Well, after a full freaking day of going back and forth I'm getting $36,000 trade and buying an H3 for the wife at MSRP.

Black Lux with Off Road Package
Tan interior with sunroof

I am stripping the hell out of my rig before I turn it in tomorrow. I may even run over my neighbors annoying import...the bastard.

Thanks for all your offers but right now I don't have the time to go cross country to buy a car. I just spent two weeks in Mississippi dealing with issue.

I hope you're pulling the nav out! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

After the awful experience I had at Dobles Hummer in NH tonight I'd say you got a decent offer from them. I have an 03 H2 with 51k highway miles. It has everything but the air suspension and has NEVER seen even a day off road (yeah I know its a shame). It has a dual screen dvd and an aftermarket sunroof (perfect job!) as well as all the other factory add-ons. They offered me $24k in trade towards an 06 H2 and basically told me that mine was "useless" to them and that they really didn't even want it. When I told them that the trade in value was awful and that they ought to be making it up on the other end of the deal he informed me that he was, by giving me employee pricing. The same damn pricing that I can get from any Hummer dealer...He can keep his!!! Anyone want an H2???

[kacyk]

I did pull the Nav out a while ago and sold it on Ebay! :-)

As for the negotiations, it did take all day but I did it from my office! This morning I sent off a fax with my terms and we went from there. It was a lot better than sitting at a desk talking to the "mystery man" vicariously via a salesman. I rather enjoyed it...in the end, I got what I expected.

[kacyk]

Klaus, after my experience with the H2 Nav I don't think I want to even try with the H3...when it comes.

Do you have some pics of your aftermarket sunroof? I'm interested in the area above the visor and what they did with the center overhead console....

[RIC-H0]

I think you got a smokin deal on your trade in. I went to my local dealership here in S.A., and they were kind enough to offer me 28K for mine, if I traded it in for an H3 and put 15k down.
Needless to say, I did not buy an H3!

[RiverRacerX]

still trying to get rid of an 03 escalade. you can't give used GM stuff away right now. I can get a base SUT for the low 40's +tax, but can't get rid of what I have. Catch 22.
Employee pricing is only good ig you don't have anything to sell first.

My buddy went to buy a new car and trade in his suburban. they wouldn't even take it!!!

With all the money you lose buying,selling,buying,selling again the H2s, shoes, 3rd row benches, etc... I bet you could have bought an H1 Alpha by now, huh? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

You're probably right but the only car i really miss is my old 1955 Porsche Speedster. Perhaps because I worked on it myself (had to all the time). Oh well, time to buy all the goodies for the wife's H3! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
