I agree I would never lease because there are too many restrictions. At the end of the lease they nit pick you to death for every scratch and ding and on a Hummer you will have your share of them unless your truck is just a grocery getter.

Between the GMS and Year End Discounts I saved $8450 off the Sticker price. I got 5.9% financing from my credit union for 60 months. I put down 20 grand and borrowed 16 grand at 5.9% so my payment is $323 for 60 months with life insurance on the loan. So with the payments of $19380 plus the $20000 down payment I will have bought my 08’ H3 Alpha for a total of $39380.

Window Sticker…. 41450.00
After GMS………... 36999.25
Instant Rebate….. -1500.00
35499.25
End of Year
Cash Back………......-2500.00
32999.25
Roof Marker
Lights…………....... +895.00
$33894.25 plus 8% sales tax = $36605.79 total

 

Right now we are trying to buy an h3 got about 5 dealers in the area working on my price

Timgco you mendtioned a GMID how do I get one of those?

and can anyone tell when the best cash backs are or if we can predict them a little?

 

LEX, just start a post int eh general section of the forum asking for help with a GMID/ Supplier cert. Since I'm newer to this forum, I'm not sure who can help here with that. It seems "other" forums have multiple members that can help out with these. I'm sure that's true here as well.

 

lex,
We've only got one Hummer dealer within a 100 mile radius so our dealer makes no deals! You can usually pay invoice but that’s about it.

Right now I don’t think they’re offering any cash back incentives but you can check by looking on the official Hummer site.

I don’t know how you would get an Employee Discount I. D. number other then a relative. That’s how I got mine.

 

This is my first post here so it probably doesn't mean much...lol...but here is my opinion...

A lease is not a bad way to go if you typically trade your car in every 2-3 years. Usually people will get a 60 month loan or even 72/84 but still trade their car in every 2-3 years...in which case they end up upside down. We just turned our 3rd Range Rover in with a few dings here and there and they didn't give us any issues. Obviously Hummer/GM may treat you different but our leasing experiences have been good and work well for our situation. If you plan on putting tons of miles on your car or you want to modify it you may want to consider a purchase.

Anyway thats my opinion on that...

As far as rebates go I can't remember the exact numbers but we just found an Alpha/Adventure with an msrp of 45k(i think) that the dealer sold for invoice minus $3000 in rebates which put us in the high 38k range. If it matters I can get the exact numbers tomorrow. It seems like a great deal, especially if some of you are dealing with dealers that won't budge on their prices! The plan is to go buy it tomorrow so I will definitely let you guys know how it goes.


P.S. when I do the math on $509x36 months I only come up with $18,324 +$23,574 which equals $41,898 +$1475 "initial investment"(lol.) Which doesn't seem too bad but I really wouldn'trecommend leasing the vehicle if you intend to keep it. I think you come out way ahead to just purchase it unless you want to get something new in 36 months.
