I screwed up!

[Intercooled]

Went to Hummer Manchester NH this morning. Talked trade and numbers. Numbers were pretty good for a 36 month lease. Only problem was that i want an 08 slate blue SUT and none are to be found in New England. They tryed talking me into a black one they had in stock. Looks like I'll just wait until the 09's come out. I would only assume that the numbers arent going to be so good. I asked about ordering from the factory but they seemed to think that the 08 build year is over.

The H2 plant is ramping back up on June 2nd - and will produce 08 models for another couple months before 2009s. However, dealers have already ordered the 2008 models -- they can check and see if they have one on order already and tag it sold.

So, it not possible to place an order at this point?
I dont think they have one on order, I've been buy this dealership a few times and they only seem to have 2 on hand at a time. I dont thik they move H2's like they say they do. The ones they have there now have been there for some time. I searched the other dealerships in the New England area and they dont more than 4-6 on hand. One even has quite a few 07's left over.

Intercooled, why oh why would you go to Quirk Hummer in Manchester? I live in Manchester on and off for a good part of my life and I mde the mistake of trying to deal with them when they were called Dobles, for Corvettes and H2's. They get about one Corvette convertable a year and would rather sit on it and get retail than knock a penny off the price. I actually forgot and went back to them for my 07 H2 and spoke to the manager directly and he wouldn't go more than a few thousand off which actually surprised me he would even do that.

Sooo I went to Herb Chambers in Danvers Mass and spoke with the new car manager there (I forget his name) and I got a new 07 for $1k "under" invoice which was like $7-8k lower than Dobles. Now I forget but there was some kind of rebate then because the 08's were out and of course you might (probably) not get the same deal, but they do have a ton of H2's in stock.. As a matter of fact most of the Massachsetts dealers do, and they want to move them unlike Quirk in Manchester who only gets a few H2's in a time...

Also if you don't know, if you are a resident of NH, you will not pay any Mass sale tax on anything you buy, vehicles that is...

follow up, I just checked the Herb Chambers website and they do list as having a slate blue metallic 08 SUT in stock, Model Number:RN25736 ... and I remembered the managers name was John Ricco. Tell them the couple from NH that bought an H2 from him and wrote a letter of praise to his boss Herb Chambers himself, sent you, He'll remember us...

Great info, thanks man! I bought my 05 from Dobles, but that was with the GM employee discount for everyone. So, no negotiation. I always thought that dobles was a great outfit, thier HUmmer happenings were very good and the manager was a great guy. I have delt with Herb Chambers for my repairs, and a car in the past. I''m not too keen on them either. lots of bull**** with the sales guy and manager back and forth trying to come to terms. But I may have to head there and check it all out.

Interooled, check out my last paragraph above. I just edited/added it after you replied back so you might have missed it.. Herb does have a slate blue SUT in stock...

Theres also a Herb Chambers dealer for just about every make of car in Massachusetts, so you might have not dealt with the Hummer one?
