Any dealer will stick you on a one or two year old trade in. Wether it's a Hummer, Chevy, Ford, or Chrysler for what it's worth. Bottom line is you need to sell it outright if you're planning on unloading your Hummer. The dealer will never do you any favors, even if you believe they are. Trade in will always be $5-$7K lower than market value. They need to make a buck on the resale too. If they're giving you what you want on the trade in, they're probably making plenty on the sale of the new vehicle.

I'm not so sure the rollout of the Alpha will drastically effect the value of our I5's. Yes some, but not much. I see the Alpha as sitting in a class of it's own. Unless priced comparably to our I5's, which you know it won't be, it will be in an entirely different pricing market. A lot of people out there want an H3 but cannot afford them new and surely cannot afford a new Alpha, so the used market will still be there for us. Just not a good trade in market.
