When I traded in our H2 a couple of weeks ago I coudln't believe how much grief I got from my kids! I think I even got a frown from the newborn! The 9 seater Yukon XL works great for our big family but one trip up the cabin last week and I miss the beast.

A friend of mine is a GM at a local Toyota dealership. We were talking cars after service today and he mentioned that the owner was selling his H2 through the dealership. The LUX has only has 17K miles on it and it's bone stock except Alcoa's. They're asking $42K but what do you think a "good" deal would be? He told me that I would get a substantial discount given our friendship but then, business is business.

The last time I bought an H2 I let me emotions get in the way and ended up with a terrible experience. I won't let that happen again but I will say, life without a H2 is pretty damn boring. I bought a front end Denali kit from GM for my Yukon and put on 22" wheels to make myself feel better but, well...you know.

Otay, what number should I be thinking to make the deal? I'm thinking $38K considering the mileage. There aren't too many H2 up in the Seattle area so they are still getting a premium.

You didn't mention the year of the H2 you are considering.

kacyk,

I strongly feel the same way. Even if I bought a ML500 or another RR, it would feel like a major downgrade. Never would have the rush as I would when I drive my H2 even to this day. Probably it won't wear off any time soon.

No vehicle has or mabye never will hold an addiction so strong for me.

Get it back man! I'll drive over and buy you a steak to celebrate!

Funny you mention the ML, Phil. There is a Starmarked ML 500 with very low miles at a great price. The wife sat in, looked the car over and never looked back. The H2 has "it." Hopefully this will work out.
