Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
OK before you all scream at me for no pics, I'll be doing the driveway pics of it today.
Picked it up Thursday night from Cochran Hummer. There are some VERY good incentives out there right now let me tell you! Its a good time to buy a Hummer.
Impressions of the truck. I know you are going to laugh, but I actually like the new Goodyears better than the BFG's. Its a quieter ride with less tire noise. Seems like the tires are a bit harsher on the ride, likely due to the lower profile of them. Gone is the heater washer fluid. Got the 2nd row captains which is kinda cool.
Love the Silver Ice color. Really a sharp color. They moved the temp and compass off the mirror and into the DIC now. I didnt see this but supposedly it has the traffic feed from XM into the nav unit like the wife's CTS does.
Everything else seems pretty much the same as the 2008.
Will post pics here later today. Heavy fog here now, doesnt make for good pics!

Re: Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
Congratulations! I was at Lynch looking at the 2009s yesterday too, and I just LOVE that color. You are definitley right about them making some pretty amazing deals right now. Not as sold as you are on those tires though, but the more I see that Silver Ice in different sunlight and cloud conditions, the more crazy I am about that color!

Re: Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
VERY NICE and congradulations on the 2009. Do they have any special financing on them? The last time I had looked they was offering 6.9% interest which to me is a rip off especially the way the economy is. I have both of mine financed at 0% Interest.
I am curious.......how come you didn't keep your 2008 and have your 09 as a secondary vehicle?
By the way........this has prob. been asked before........but to the captain seats recline? or are they fixed?
Congradulations again!!!! Very Nice!!

It really is a bright color and stands out. I think I like the look of the BFG's better, more rugged, but as I keep looking at this one I am liking the Goodyears. I had two slate blues and there wasnt a color that i really liked, then when I saw the silver ice, i was like....oh yeah I can deal with that.

Pics up for you. You know I havent seen an SUT at the dealer in years. Once in a while you will see one running around the area. They also had the solar flare in the showroom. It was nice, but I wasnt sure I liked it enough to buy it. They had a black one too, but I had too many black cars and just hate taking care of them...lol

Re: Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
Thanks for the pics. Those captain chairs look great! Way more function for 3 or more kids or adults manuevering in and out the back. The body color grill looks great too! Awesome ride! I'm jealouse. The silver should be an easy color to take care of and when waxed and clean will realy pop! I here ya on black, I would own a daily driver in black, I'm to picky!

One thing I did notice, your truck is a LE right? My flares are NOT stepped in a the door and I see marks on them already from getting in and out. I dont know how to protect them from getting scuffed up. I also noticed they arent putting the LE brush guards on either in 2009. I wasnt sure I liked the body color grill when I first saw it but it grew on me. Was used to the chrome ones I guess.
My Dad's h2 is a black SUV, he had a black SUT prior to that. I havent a clue why he keeps getting black ones, thats alot of paint to wax!
I got the Auto Butler treatment on it. We have it on the CTS and it seems to really work well.
Our 14 year old daugther is loving being able to sit in all the different seats....kids!

Re: Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
Those captains chairs are awesome! Do they recline and are they heated? Theyre just like the ones in my escalade limo. Although it does cut out 1 seat, which would hurt for me during prom season when even my unstretched hummer gets rented alot.

Re: Pulled the trigger on Silver Ice 2009!!
Nice! I like the color too. I still want to get black on black though 
I am looking for a '08, but got quotes for '09 today from one of teh local dealers: '09 H2 SUV Base for $55,900 and Luxury for $62,700 (sticker 70+K). That's before negotiations! They must really want to sell them. You got better price obviously, but I didn't have GM discounts or/and points - just the dealer incentives. |
