1- This one is unusually fully loaded. Someone spent a lot of money and time on it, the 1st owner loved his Hummer. No matter how much or how little he paid for these thingies, it’s a lot of money, almost like a spoiled kid in a candy store, irresponsible spending. Since many of these are not dealer installed items, he spent a lot of energy and time to buy and add the stuffs. Someone did the hard work for you. Makes you wonder what happened? Why did he give it up?
2- You did not mention mileage, which is most important. Under 20K okay. Judged by all the chrome and toys, this was not used in offroad which is good news to buyers.
3- Chrome is not me, but all those toys are neat, I can change, I can learn to love chrome and orange.
4- $58K is a good start. My basic rule is take $10K off to talk price, after you see and test it. If you can land it at $50K or $52K which is reasonable goal, very good deal. The danger is once you see the truck and the toys, you love it so much you can‘t bargain.
5- You cannot compare this one with other Hummers, because the toys alone is worth a car. Alcoa polished wheels, Back up camera, DVD-headrest monitors (2), Rear tire swing, that is $5K no matter how you cut it. Can you imagine how much time and how many visits you have to make to buy and install these things? Days and weeks and $5K+ cash out.
6- Unlike aftermarket things you buy and install later, everything on this H2 can be financed (other people’s money), can be depreciated and claim in tax credit, which further cut your initial cost substantially.
7- When you sell it you will get top dollars for it just because of the toys.
8- By logic, this H2 was not a lemon at birth. My guess is a lot of toys were added after purchase, if it was a lemon, 1st owner would not have dumped so much time and money into it. Just guessing.
9- It is not “the chance of a lifetime” as the salesman said, but can be made into a good deal, it is “a rare opportunity.”
