This is an excellent example of logic vs. irrational exuberance.
On one hand, we have people who are not too smart, such as I, who bought the Hummer immediately upon love at first sight. One the other hand, there are those who are far more calculated and smart enough not to let their emotion drive their actions. I see no solution for Z and Raj who are in search of the best value and lowest prices.
1- If you wait 3 months, 03 H2 prices will be even lower than today.
2- The nation’s economy is unlikely to recover within 12 months, thus 04 H2 shall be as cheap as 03 H2 today, maybe 0% 5 yrs plus $4K off MSRP will be available, why not? $10K off + 0% is now available on all other GM big SUVs.
3- But again, if you wait 1 more year, there will be many 03 and o4 used H2s at maybe $35K-$40K.
4- Finally, why not just keep your current autos? Keep the money and invest wisely, that $45K-$50K final cost will mean $80K 5 years later, or $100K in 9 years, or $200K in 18 years.
5- In another 6 months, you passion for Hummer will more than likely subside or be no more. Imagine how much money can be saved.
