Isn't GM produciung a Diesel H3, in South Africa, for the European market?
You may want to get that version instead.

Welcome to our world, (Miami here)

Suitcase ! Well lets see... You could get a consol tray, locking lug nuts, wax, Hummer key fob, Hummer toy, Bush for President Pin, short antenna, blow up doll...

OK, enought kidding. We/I welcome you. Good idea about the South African Version.

Question? Do you all use the DM or Euro? Where (what country) are you purchasing your H-3 in? Is it less expensive to purchase somewhere else considering exchange rates?

Here in South Florida you can purchase the H-3 at Factory Invoice, or less if its an 06 with the incentives. Shipping costs to Germany you will have to figure out...

Oh yeah, Keep the french funny car...

GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the welcome!

I never heard of a Diesel Version. I've been to an official Hummer Dealer, which is Opel in Germany. They didn't tell me anything about it.

I bought my H3 at a small Dealer, who imports the Cars directly from the US. This way is much less expensive, than buying at the official Dealer/Importer. But I still have to pay ~ 40,000. Euro for my H3, which is ~50,000. US$ ! It is so expensive, because of freight, Customs, Tax and the german laws to make it street legal. (BTW, we have the Euro Currency).

I thought of buying it during my vacation, but I would have to pay the local Tax at the dealer, which makes it to expensiv. I talked to a Hummer salesman last december in Miami (University Drive?), he said, this is to protect the german importer...

You could get ....blow up doll...

seriously considering that....

But, whats the "Hummer key fob"??

and why should I keep the "funny french car"? Never thought a Hummer owner would say that

Diesel was put off a few months. It will be available sometime in the future, but I have no date.

A key chain, or a short chain or ribbon attaching a pocket watch to a man's vest; a vest pocket to hold a pocket watch.

Alot of foreign H3'S will still made in US. Especially the Left Hand Drive. I would imagine those built in S.A. will have a pretty big price tag as 95% of parts are shipped there from the USA to Canada to S.A. Plus they are looking at only building 13,000 per year in South Africa.

Welcome! What's your cost in U.S. dollars?

If Germans are buying H3's, that's a huge compliment to Hummer.

Be forewarned it's not German engineering but it's the best we could do.
It will get you lots of looks over there and take you places your other vehicles could only dream of.

Welcome! and stay with this forum, we'll be glad to help you out any time.
