[QUOTE=GAME;205504]So you'd prefer that dealers give you the same trade-in value as what they're selling for, even though yours will need to be inspected, cleaned, have maintenance performed etc?

That sounds like a great business model.

 

I didn't even get Wholesale value so I have no clue of what your are taking about. For whatever its worth it wouldn't be called "TRADE IN VALUE" when the dealer resells it, I believe that's called RETAIL. Dealers love to give you lower than actual Trade in values, send the vehicle to cleanup (make it pretty and smell nice) skimp on the so called "Maintenance" then tell you it's Mint and was driven to church on sundays only, then they sell it for over Excellent Retail costs. Justs the facts. Hello, is anybody home?

 

Hey Duece918:

Where did you go in Ohio? We will be leaving Ohio to go to the Outer Banks on NC this month.

 

I hear the China buyout is in trouble!!! Does anyone know if AM General will be interested again? Would they not have to be as a last resort?!

 

Point of interest, AM General has nothing to do with the sale to China. The sale is the "Hummer Brand" of General Motors. As I understand it AM General does own a small slice of the GM Hummer brand but no controlling part and is financially not in the position of pursuing the purchase of Hummer nor would they want to considering the slumping sales. The Humvee is a completely seperate issue and is not affected by the GM action. AM General is completely solvent, will continue to wholy own, build and supply Humvee to the US Government. The true Humvee will continue to be 100% US bread and built. Thank god Obama didn't get his hands into AM General.

 

I must agree with alot of what you said, but you seem to be bashing Hummer a bit too much in my opinion. Sales are very robust over seas. Actually it's the only vehicle in Russia selling like hot cakes! Yes, sales are terrible here because of the economic condition. I wont give mine up just because the value isnt there. I didnt buy it for an investment. I'll enjoy it until it dies! I'll have pride knowing it was built here and modled after the Humvee, and it's incredible reputation it has in the armed forces. I believe that the H2 will some day be a collectible like the old Bronco II's. It will always look the ***** and be pursued by its fans. You'll see a resurgance in value over time. Once the economy recovers and Obama leave's office. Everyone is running scared with this administrations policys being forced up our asses! After the smoke clears, hopefully America will emerge again.

 

My 06 H3 Says assembled in Mexico....and all my Harley Davidson " genuine parts " packaging says made in Taiwan...uhm

 

I actually think that if anyone other than the US can do it right with Hummer, it's China.

The president of China has owned a Black H2 for several years which he personally drives around. It is of course armoured.

I think the Chinese company will probably make the Hummer even bigger. Or introduce something bigger than the H3, but smaller than the H2. They like big cars over there, the ones who can afford them anyway.
