good deal or not?

That's a good deal on a new one! I've had my eye on a new white '09 SUT on the dealer's lot and it's gone now. Looking at their web site they've sold 4 H2s this month and several H3s. Auto World says the Hummer is one of the best selling US SUVs so far this December, with sales up from Sept, Oct, and Nov. I'm hoping we're not past the best time to deal. I test drove an '09 and I don't like the new seats as well as the seats on my 06 and it's hard to rest your arm by the side window, but I do like the new instrument panel, the increased power, and it seems quieter, probably because it's newer. They're dealing about $6,000 off sticker tops here!

We bought our 2007 lux at the end of 2007 with a sticker of 63k for 41.700 out the door plus tax, If that is new i would lowball an offer as we did.It took 3 weeks of them calling and trying to renegoiate the price but we were firm,Let the dealer know you will be shopping price and have a lax attitude about how soon you want the truck as you dont have a set timetable for delivery . I can assure you they will drop the price because now is crunch time for model changeover-they will go into dealer cash to make the deal.
Good luck and happy holidays to all

OK, I think that I have some room to negotiate then. I'll try to maybe let them deliver one like that, but with adventure package. Maybe. Do I need the adventure? Surely wouldn't hurt.

btw happy holidays!!

Does it matter if someone else thinks it's a good deal or that you think it's a good deal?

My 05 that I bought May 28,2004 listed for $68,000 and I paid $52,900 for it then. It had everything except Nav. on it. At that time it was a steal only because salesman thought he was selling a 04 and did not even know that the color Stealth Gray was a 2005 new color only. They had the deal wrote up and the check for payment in hand when he double checked the vin and realized it was an 05 rig. He said he did not think they cold do that and I reminded him politely that he had a signed contract between The Landers Group and me signed by the GM plus he had payment in his hand that he had already given me a receipt. I told him I needed to head to Dallas next day and I would be dropped off to hop in my detailed new 2005 H2.

He went back to GM and I saw shouting jestures then they took me to the finance manager where I walked off with paperwork deal closed. I had just accidently pulled off the deal of my life up to that point.

I would say the deal you are looking at is a good shot but, does not hurt to get a firm offer from them and then shop some other dealers. I had lined up offers in Dallas, St. Louis, and Raliegh Durham that I told them I would be on a plane to get the rig I wanted for the right price. With the times we are in right now I would think paying $38,000 range give or take either way would be equivalent since I bought my rig in a sticker only time since everyone and their dog was buying an H2 then.

Good Luck,

TAZ

well I very much respect and value opinions of other Hummer owners around this forum; I have nobody else to ask. For my H3 I paid crazy sum, and don't want to repeat the same mistake again.

So yes, it matters to me if others think it is a good deal (or not).

Okay. An '08 for $45K is a pretty smoking deal. Only drawback is that it's black.

not a drawback for me - I want a black one, and only black. Again, am I going to miss a lot with lacking adventure package? Good news is that my wife agrees finally that I need one.
