Hi 3hummers,
I got so mad today dealing with GM, I decided to trade in the 2006 and bought a 2008 tonight. I don't want a lemon, and cannot be worrying that everytime I drive it that engine light will go on so I just gave it back, and will now lease one. Even if I lose money since I owned it, I feel better about doing this, as I use it for trips and as my second vehicle. I love the Hummer, and I actually got my car payment down, gave up some stuff, like the roof lights, and GPS, but got the 2008 with the better warranty. And it will be new.

I will be picking it up today. I think I did ok, I get the better warranty and I traded the slate bluegrey color and got black. I think once something big blows up, I just don't feel good about the 06. Do you think I did the right thing? You probably have more experience in this stuff. thanks for the replies

I myself am not fond of leasing but can understand your reasons. As far as being new, better warranty, etc... good choice I think.

First time in my life I ever leased a car, but thought this way, in a couple years I can get out of it. We'll see. I just drove it home, it is fine. Dealers do make me ill though.
Sad they do not do all they say will when you sign on the line.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. My dealer did everything they said they would and they always go out of their way to make us happy.

That does suck, I got mine used from Chevy and I actually enjoyed the experience. Granted I knew I was going home in a Hummer but I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off.

Me? I looked at a lot of 4X4's and looked at the OLD information Consumer Reports had to offer. most SUV's look like a soccer mom - minivan on stilts. Sure JD Power and Assoc. says 70% of car buying decisions in the middle class house are made by women.

Well,   forget that. I just sold my Harley Davidson and I was going to buy something like it.....with a couple of extra wheels and as must fun!   I'm heading to Vermont.

2008 H3.

Done.

seadoo you have to feel good about what you drive and if the new Hummer with the warranty is what makes you feel comfortable then that is the right way to go. I haven't ever leased but I have friends that love the 24 months and drop it of aspect of the lease. Enjoy the new Hummer.

Im a Construction worker... Operate heavy equipment like big dozers, track hoes and such. Everyone drives the big pick ups.. the f250's and such... I had no desire to fit into the crowd, the click... I never did! I wanted something that said you made it... your there... And Hummer says it! "Like Nothing Else" I park it kinda of away from them.. ya know kind of stands alone...

Funny thing is they all blab at lunch about there super duties but never a word spoken of the hummer.. sitting off in the distance kinda growling....

Just finished reading everyone's answers and on each I was thinking "yup...me too sort of"

BUT...why did I HAVE to have not just one but two?

I have no freaking idea...it is like an addiction, one day I saw one and had to have it. We swore we would NEVER go four wheeling in such a nice and expensive vehicle....we were not the "four wheeling" kind....more the BMW kind....hate dirt and love luxury. But then the strangest thing happened....the H3 wanted to go play in the mud and it took us with it....and we LOVED it!

Of course.....as always happens....one of anything is rarely enough and if it is great...but could be greater...one MUST have it.....so now an H3 sits here for me to drive around in....and an H2 sits in the driveway for hubby so he will leave my H3 alone. We were going to trade the H3 for the H2 but with the price of gas....it seemed cheaper to keep the H3 for everyday driving....no one here wants to drive our "slider"...an 06 Toyota Avalon Ltd.

Why did we buy them? Damn...I think they put a spell on us, its an addiction.....seeing the very first one was like a heroin **** first taste.....it is the only explaination I can think of.

I would sell me hot tub and my house before I would go without a Hummer.....I am sick!

isn't that the reason we all buy a hummer , some people out here think that driving a yellow hummer that I shouldn't be driving up the tracks (only after someone else has) and that you are a w*nker for doing just that.
flrtrader you are not alone brother

The distinctive look and safety is what made me decide to buy a Hummer. I've noticed that everytime I get out of my H3, men look and compliment me with what I drive.
