not an H2 owner... yet

I like the big 6.2 engine and it will give you more power for towing. I don't consider running premium gasoline that big of a deal unless you drive lots of miles. I have to agree with Hummer Mann about the seats though, I think the 2007 and earlier seats are a little softer and wider. If it was me, it would be condition, history, year and color in that order in considering another Hummer

Well guys, I did it. I lost the opportunity to pick up the black/black 2008 that had caught my eye, but in the end it was for the better. I subsequently found a 2008 graystone/black with the two factory options that I really wanted -- navigation and air suspension. It also has DVD in the ceiling, which is OK but I really would have liked the older style of DVD in the headrests. No biggie.

Here's the thing. This is the first vehicle I have bought online without a test drive or anything, so I am a little nervous, but it's crazy how hard it's been to find exactly what I wanted so I had to jump on it. I am currently awaiting enclosed transport of the vehicle from Seattle, WA to Lakeland, FL (~3200 miles), so once it gets here I will post some pics. I actually do have some pics from the dealership but they aren't good enough to post here, so I won't waste the storage on them.

Thanks again for your guidance fellas. By the way, my H2 has no brush guard or step bars, and while I could go without the step bars, I have received a directive that I will be installing them. So, this leads me to ask where you guys look for aftermarket options such as these? I am not really that keen on chrome.

Thanks.

try ebay or craigslist for your best bet in search of these accessories.

I wasn't keen on the chrome bar steps either, but after researching it and getting feedback from service advisors (@ Hummer dealer), I decided to keep the chrome bar steps vs. purchasing the black metal U-steps.


Congrats on the purchase.

I know exactly how you're feeling ...w/the anxiety of not knowing 100% of your purchase.

Did you get a CarFax report?
what about an independant inspection from a 3rd party?

I did both before purchasing the truck unseen...(other than a few pics)


Anyways, I'm sure the enclosed transport is going to be a tight fit....given the size of the H2.

My brother's brand new X5 came via FedEx Passport (enclosed trailer back in May ) and the driver had a hard time getting it in and out. Definitely inspect the truck when you meet the driver to ensure nothing got scratched or dinged.

The little things in the sale up to the point where you get the truck will definitely keep you up at night.

I'm sure things will work out nicely.

Cheers.
