I would have to agree that I would definitely get the real thing rather than one of these. What you have to consider it that for $15k-$20K someone who can't afford the real thing can have a wannabe. If you took that same money and put it down on a new real H1 you have a hell of a lot left to pay off. If you put that money toward a cheap used on, you could end up with a lot of expensive repair bills. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

My local dealer had a used H1 wagon on the lot for $40K when I bought my H3. Take that $15K-$20K you're talking about and you're about halfway there. And it's not like people are throwing these on a *new* chassis. It's probably still a 10-20 year old truck they're starting with. And then your still not getting the capabilities of the hummer.

To each their own, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
