wonder about the resale

[sheag]

I think the part of the country you live in really impacts resale (as well as new car prices). For instance, I looked at Mac's post on what H2s are selling for used now in the classifieds, but here (state of Washington) they're selling for around 55K even with upgrade packages. I told a dealer yesterday that I had decided to go with another dealer to buy my Hummer and he offered me a price below MSRP, which is the first time I've heard of that for an H2. Unfortunately it's not the color I want. As I mentioned, the H2 I want has been sitting on the lot for a couple of weeks and it looks like it's not going anywhere. So I think maybe in SOME parts of the country the hyper bubble of interest is waning, supply is catching up to demand, and perhaps prices will stabilize to MSRP or even below. But I think resale value will continue to be very good, especially if the later models are priced much higher than the 2003. If they price the H3 in the range they're now pricing the H2, with the H2 priced closer to the Rover, I think you'll have a lot of people who would rather have a two year old H2 than a new H3. But who knows.
