Trading in 06 Base for 06 Adventure

[YellowH3]

UPDATE Everything went as planned! I traded in the Base model for the Adventure. They took the deal I made on the Base, and just added the price of the Adventure to it, and gave me a new one. They took the one back I have been driving for a week with 1k miles on it, and gave me the H3 of my choice. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Lund Hummer in Phoenix. My salesman, Dave Wilkinson, is all about customer service. There are quite a few differences between my old Base and my new Adventure. The first thing I noticed is, how much the base drives like a car, compared to the Adventure. Not that the Adventure rides bad, quite the contrary. It rides like a capable 4 wheeler should. It soaks up the bumps like nothing and is totally controllable at all times. The transfer case gearing is incredible. The gas mileage on the other hand is not as good as the Base, but the acceleration seems smoother and effortless on the Adventure. You really had to mash the gas to get the base rolling, but it got better gas mileage? That doesn’t really make sense to me, but it seems to be true. I won’t know for sure, until I can get a few more miles on the Adventure. I know the bigger tires aren’t going to help. I am only at 187mi. right now. The Base got better as it broke in. I hope the Adventure does the same. All in all, I am an extremely happy HUMMER H3 owner. I have to give the dealership some credit; they could have made this a terrible experience, with me not being happy with the base model, but not the case. The buying experience has been great and the ownership, even better. I would really like to thank everyone who replied and helped me make the decision to go for the Adventure, and not settle for the Base. I hope to see you guys out on the trail. Remember, always wave to another H3 brother or sister! Thanks, Tim
