Got a Hummer last night....

[H3PO]

Hello Guys and Gals,

I'm a newby and just got my first Hummer last night!! Actually my wife and I are sharing it until I get my H2. But is is a great looking truck and I can't wait until Tuesday to pick it up.
Its a 2006 Super Blue with Ebony Lux/Adv...

Got 300 miles on her and I can't wait to get her off road. I live in North Carolina, just north of Asheville. Any Hummer owners out this way??? Looking for a wheeling partner or two....

I know, worthless without a picture....Right...

Trying to figure out how to post pic...???

lol thats exactly my plan, im waiting for the alpha to come out, if I love it I will spend the extra to get it, if its just ok I will look for a killer deal on an 07. By the way man that truck is awsome! love the color! congrats!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!! Glad to be a part of what seems like a great group. I look forward to many great days with the H3 and maybe one day my own H2!!

I'll be picking her up Tuesday if everything goes as planned. I'm going to try to get my sales guy to throw in another item, a set of luggage bars.... I've already got him to put on an oem towing package and fuel filler door.

Can't wait to drive her home. The dealership is actually about 2 hours away so it will be a nice little trip home.

See Ya,

Chris

[H3PO]

[frenzy1]

Congrats man ! Great lookin' rig !

Congrats and Welcome to the forum, you'll love your H3 for off road abilites....

[hummer_metal]

Congrats and welcome...

By the looks of the nerf bars, this rig has been off road already, to me.

See how they are jammed up and back towards the rear? Or is that just the way the photo was taken?

Never less, its a nice rig and you folks should be pleased...

Yea, I noticed this when we test drove it. Upon further inspection I found the nerf bar to be loose and in fact it was sagging down in the front as shown in the picture. I told my sales guy about it and he is supposed to have it fixed. We'll see tomorrow afternoon when we pick it up.

Good News!!! I picked her up this evening and drove her home. What a sweet truck!! Got plenty of looks from everyone on the drive home. Ok, one problem, I'm getting that wind noise everyone was talking about, think it was the A-pillar trim that was not fitting right and letting the wind get under it and making a cracking noise just above the drivers head.??? Can anyone confirm this?? Is there a fix??

Also I thought this was funny, when I picked it up they were in the process of cleaning it up, well, I find this nice surface scratch on the hood, not down to the primer but still looked bad. Must have been about 6 inches long. So I tell the detail guy to try and get it out. Well of course he says he can't, and come to find out he is not the body guy who normally does the scratch removal and what not, he just washes the vehicles. So I go back into my finance guy and tell him I need a WE OWE form for the scratch, this guy "Jackass" tells me "well, it is a used vehicle, demo and there are going to be scratches in it". I say so what are you going to do about it, I mean this truck has 300 miles on it?? He says, " well, we can give you a backpack with a T-shirt as a gift and call it even". I say what??? No, you are going to fix the scratch, if I wanted some stupid backpack or t-shirt I can go over to parts and buy it. Boy was I pissed!!! Well, long story short, the sales manager gave me a voucher to have it fixed at a detail shop close to my house. He said that finance guy should have never tried to offer me some crappy gift just to make me feel better.

All in all I'm happy, my wife is happy and we are now proud Hummer parents!!!

Sorry so long guys.....

Chris

Ps: Anyone going to Windrock this week, think it is in TN???
