Wow, and based on actual facts. No doubt trading in nearly new vehicle (1 or 2 years old) is very expensive.

For example, say your 06 H3 is completely paid for and you trade it in for a new H3 Alpha:

Trade-in value $25,000
New H3 Alpha price $45,000
Difference is $20,000 cash or car loan

That's one damn expensive $20,000 upgrade to a V8. Selling it yourself, might net you $5K more for the trade if you're lucky. No thanks, no rush to do that.

What you (anyone) paid for you truck mans nothing......

NUMBER 1 thing to remember list price means NOTHING... in sales list is known as "once upon a time" as in a fairy tale or "this is no chit" as in @#$$^&((*_%$^@#~#%

Aftermarket add ons, well grab the lube tube

What counts is
1. the current dealer invoice on your set up
2. current or recent incentives
3. condition inside as well as outside
4. miles
5. demand for used HUMMERS in your area
6. colour
7. leather or cloth
8. how close to the end of model year is it (makes the used another
year older and who knows what incentives will be on the leftover
NEW older model)

once you have factored in all that info, then allow for a dealer to sell your trade for a decent profit (in his eyes) which is a MUCH HIGHER PROFIT then on a new HUMMER, the person who buys used wants a big enought price difference between new and used to see a big savings. EX: New $38000 USED $34000, the used will never sell...
Now if its priced at $30000 then there is an $8000 saving for the used buyer: bingo a sale is made

Remember many (not all nor most) dealers will have some type of warrenty on a used HUMMER. Will you as a private seller give a warrenty? NOT!!!

Selling off you add ons is logical unless you have a BIG MOUTH BASS close by...

Man that was a lot of blue ink for nothing.

Bummer, sorry to hear about your injury. Was it golf, tennis, basketball, vigourous sex, or something fun I hope?

Follow your doctor's orders, hopefully it can be rehabilitated to like-new. Get well soon.
