good deal or not?

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,

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.

Adventure package gives you the air suspension, black brush guard, black roof racks, off road rubber mats and a first aid/tool kit. I like the compressor, but you can buy an aftermarket one and a brush guard.
I know your pain. I paid sticker for one of the first H3s (although I've never regretted it and even though I took a hit monetarily, it was worth it for the fun I had with one of only a handful on the streets). The H2 Adventure Package is a totally different animal from the H3 Adventure Package.
I bought my H2 earlier this year, and am happy with the deal I got then - in the ball park to what you are talking! I took along a friend of mine who is retired and was a long time Cadillac salesman, and as he told me before we started, you're not going to beat them at their own game. They do this everyday for a living, but the time has never been better to buy a Hummer than it is now.
IMHO buying a Hummer is not a great financial investment (I'm not sure anything is a great financial investment these days), BUT rather an investment in fun, mental health, physical health, and peace of mind to go where other vehicles fear to tread.

I've have my eye on an '09 at the dealer. I still like my '06, but they are willing to deal more on the '08 H2s left on the lot. They have told me outright expect around $13,000 off an '08 and $8,000 off the sticker of an '09. They've come down another $2,000 on both the '08 and '09 in the last week!The only exterior difference I see on the '09 is the flex fuel sticker on the tailgate and one of the ones I like has the Captain's chairs in the back.
As for the Adventure Package, I bought my brush guard off this site and I have the air suspension, which is nice to have, but I only have used it for towing. You can buy a higher capacity air compressor on Ebay. For that matter, once in a blue moon, they have one of the factory tool/first aid H2 Adventure Package kits on Ebay.
I'm thinking the closer they get to the end of the year the more they will be willing to move their stock to avoid taxes and financing on their inventory. I've gotten over the highest hurdle, convincing the wife we need a second Hummer and this one will be all hers! She wants white, what is it about women and white H2s.
