No more H1

[Aubs]

Maybe we'll get lucky and the H1 will actually drop in price if interest is low (which current sales might show). So in the next five years, you might be able to pick them up cheaply, and then I suppose after that they may start to appreciate in value. Hard to say though.

Perhaps GM will release a new H1 in 2010 area, and make the next H2 a little cheaper, maybe around $45,000 starting price. Then they could place an H1 at $60,000 where it might be more appealing price wise. The only problem: What platform would GM build the H1 on? I think it would be hard to retain it's off-road prowess on most platforms. I suspect though that something will fill the H1 slot eventually. It would seem odd to leave that flagship spot open. However, the platform will have to be something shared with GM I suspect, otherwise design and production would be too expensive to make a profit....

That's just my theory.

DAMN!!!!! Doesn't make since, even if the numbers have declined some. They are still moving and with that kind of a price tag, its not an everyday purchase!

I owned a LR D-90 when Land Rover discontinued importing them. They went up ~$5k in a very short time & kept creeping up from there. Even 10 years later, they still sell for more than the original sticker price. The latter year production in stock condition still fetch the highest price.

I imagine the H1 story will be the same. Snatch them up while you can. Lower cost used H1's will be a thing of the past very soon. If I had a dealership, I'd raise the $140k sticker priced ALPHA H1 (that I would have sold for $115k yesterday) to at least $150k today.
