good deal or not?

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.

I agree - buying a Hummer H2 is probably not great investment these days, but I do fully accept the fact that I will lose some half of the H2's value just driving it off the dealership these days. However, I plan to keep the vehicle for long time, so it's not an issue. I'd actually want to keep my H3 alongside, but then it's 2x insurance etc, plus garage space that I don't have unless I throw out bunch of wife's junk and shred some two decades of bookkeeping paperwork. I guess H3 is probably more practical, but I definitely want H2, I know that. And with the possibility that the production is going to cease soon, I want to secure H2 for myself while I can. I thought about beefing up the 3 instead, but why to do that when 2 is available, and at such a discount...

I think I could get by without adventure package because my offroading is very light (desert trails) compared to what others do. But would be nice to have it. I've been busy last couple of days and didn't even go to the dealership, but I should go check it out soon. I think this deal expires on Jan 5th.

well looks like I don't have to worry about this particular vehicle anymore because its gone, sold. In fact, they must've sold two H2's within a few days because they have only 2 left out of 4 they had. Apparently H2s definitely sell well these days. What they have left now are two LUX '09's, each at $8k off MSRP - offered at $63k and $65k after the discounts. Guess I missed out on a good deal...damn.
