HELP! Should I or Shouldn't I??

toe hitch (which i don't need)

Lol, I wouldnt need one of those either

But seriously, I think the deal sounds pretty sweet. And the engine...I couldnt tell you, ask for a 24 hour test drive. But I would say: It's a truck not a coupe.

is it a adventure package too because i did not no they offer 33in tire on chrome rims if it both packages not that bad of a deal but drive it first to see if you like the motor go up those hills then decide and make sure you test drive one with the 33in tire there is a differance

No it's not the adventure package. They told me that I could not order one that way, but they have one on the lot they would put the bigger tires on.

Thanks for you advice.

go for it. you'll love it. or you won't. and then you'll hate everyone here that talked you into it. of course, i don't have an H3, so i can't tell you how much i like it. i would recommend you take that $33 k and get yourself a nice '04 H2, but that's just me . . . .

No..I'd go for an H2 if you are concerned about the power to get you over hill and dale...Then you can come back and hate the dirty H2 dudes, because you need a second mortage to keeper gassed up..But that's the compromise you'll have to make for not having enough power, in order to get that HUMMER heritage.

Really..That's no joke...A couple of mates of mine in the Uk are always asking why we yanks are alwys bitching about our fuel prices...I said because we can..

it's cheaper here, today, than it was in the UK in the early 80's when i lived there.

The H2 is nice but I have a kid to get through college.
I am gonna go for it. It's just too cool not to have. There seems to be,on this site alone, plenty of folks that are happy.
Should I get the chrome wheels?

I paid $2.39.9 for it 87 octane....The wife's car was for 92 octane @..$2.59.9...And we even grow the oil here in Oklahoma...What's up with that?

You're more than welcome..Let us know when and how it works out for you..

I've not heard of ANY discounts on the H3 or buying incentives of any kind...



BTW...I'm Awesome...The other guy is more than likely the Pretty one.

NO CHROME WHEELS, NO CHROME WHEELS. for pete's sake, put those on a caddy, or a jag even, but not a hummer. black wheels are just too cool. and when you cover them with mud, you'd never notice anyway.

but, on a serious note, i went with black because they were steel instead of alloy. when i ding one on a boulder, i can bend it back. or if i can't bend it back, it's only $80 or so for a new one, not $400 or more. still, they look damn pretty on the bus . . . .


on the bling !

just to prove how pretty black looks . . . . and some nice coastline to go with it . . . .

those black wheels do look pretty dang good! but so do chrome ones.

The local dealer (i didn't test drive an H3) offered some comments about the H3 for off roading. His take was that the bulk of the H2's prowess is intact, and that it did a bit better on some of the things he'd tried (he mentioned rock climbing). His explanation related to torque to HP ratios and so forth.

The H3 is still good-lookin, i think, and (from just sitting in one) it retains that nicer-than-you'd-think inside experience. I didn't test drive one, however.

Black rims are always a good choice I think. And since yours is lifted I have to resort to: black, again. Kind of reinforces the bold ruggedness, if you will.

That wouldnt hold in court, mister. Do you have any close-ups of the wheels to back that statement up.
I gotta admit though, from here they already look good.

a bit closer, but they're kinda dirty. although the spare is still clean in this shot. and they're tucked into a stock suspension, no lift.

The dealer i was working with would not do it so i went to show the girlfriend the truck and this other dealer was the only one that had them in stock so i ask if he would do the discount and he said yes so i said i'm buying from you.I guess it depend on the dealership

GM has a friends and family discount. My dad works for GM. The discount is getting me about $3500. off of MSRP. The dealer gets their money as they would a rebate. I don't know where you guys are from..I'm from Maryland and the dealer here is offering a sweet deal for trade in through this weekend.
Here is what they sent me.

This is the most aggressive Trade-In Assistance Program to hit the marketplace and it's just been expanded to all makes and models! Any customer trading in a 1996-2004 vehicle on a new 2005-2007 Chevrolet, HUMMER or Lotus will receive 100% of the factory full base model MSRP when new (as provided by N.A.D.A.). Plus, all 1993-1995 models will receive very special price considerations when offered on trade.


Just bring in your current vehicle to Criswell Automotive and pick out the new Chevrolet, HUMMER or Lotus model you want to buy or lease. Criswell has been provided by the N.A.D.A. with the factory base model MSRP list price on the vehicle you are currently driving. All customers will receive 100% of the base model MSRP in trade toward a new vehicle! Similar arrangements will be made for lease customers.

This assistance program is designed exclusively for Criswell customers in and around the metro area only. Obviously, your current vehicle must be in safe operating condition, with normal wear and tear and free of paint and collision work. The only deductions will be made for mileage ($0.15 - 0.45 per mile depending on model and reconditioning). We are not going to "nitpick" your trade-in, we are here to sell new vehicles at prices that are much, much lower than you would normally expect!
