That's right... nothing. Aftermarket add-ons or not, no one in their right mind will pay 40K for an '03.

I was thinking of upgrading my '03 to a newer model and even with liftkit, wheels, tires, stereo, 3 cameras, DVD screens in both headrests, nav, winch, blah, blah, blah... I was thinking I would be lucky to get 30k

thanks for all the input guys. if i do decide to sell it, i think that i will try to sell it outright with all the aftermarket stuff on it. i would never trade it in at the stealership because i know i will not get much out of it.

i'm thinking of maybe putting it on ebay with lots of pics and a list of all the aftermarket upgrades with a reserve price of $36,500.00...that way, if it doesn't sell, at least i will have an idea of how much someone is willing to pay for it

IMHO chipping any vehicle reduces its value. I'd leave the programmer out of the description when you sell it.

I have two different answers for you...

1. If you're rich, sell it and buy a new one.

2. If you're not rich, KEEP IT!

I just went through the same thing you're going through. I have a bone stock '03 H2 with 76,000 miles on it. Was going to trade it in for a new '06 (GM is offering $6,500 cash back OR 0% financing for 72 months on those).

The stealership offered me $26,000 for mine. Once I crunched the numbers, I realized that if I were to by the new '06 H2 SUT I wanted (sticker was $63K), I'd have to leave that one bone stock because certain upgrades will void the warranty and I wouldn't have the $$$ to get any upgrades anyhow.

However, if I keep the one I have now, I can drop a brand spankin' new engine in the beast (as well as plenty of other things) for WAY less than a new one will cost me.

So, I'm gonna keep the one I have and I just placed a large order for a Fabtech 6" Lift, Fabtech Heavy Duty Tie Rods, Fabtech Steering Stabilizer, Fabtech Duel Shocks, 20" Moto Metal Rims, 38" Tires, H20 Rear Bumper, H20 Corner Ladder (X2), Black Door Handles (I hate chrome), and a Tilt Meter. And I've still got plenty of $$$ left over.

quick question... how has you tire/rim setup worked for you?Any complaints at all? Did you drive it in the snow at all? I WANT that same exact setup!! But, I live in Chicago, and with the snow out here, just wondering how the tire worked for you?

An '03 with under 50K miles is still a baby. Keep it. I sold two '03's and got nothing for them. Seems like you've put a lot of sweat equity into your rig as well. Just keep putting more mods on it and keep it clean. I remember my dad once telling me that if I ever got the itch to sell a car, that I should give it a good detail first. Having a shiny rig has stopped me from selling my cars many times...

Damn, you should try cleaning your tires/ rims more often than.

no complaints at all with my tires and rims...the tires are a little louder on the pavement than the stock tires but my stereo system fixed that problem ...no snow here in Cali so i don't know what to tell you on that

I still don't get the whole "upgrade from 03 to 07" thing. What does this get you? The H2 hasn't changed significantly. All you are doing is spending $25K and that value will depreciate to nothing in 3 years. But I do see a lot of people doing it. I have no idea why.

I'm sticking with my 03 for many more years. Ir would take an option like a bigger engine to get me to switch. But I wouldn't be buying a new one. I'd wait a couple years and get a bargain basement price.

keep it and take a bath on something else
