Kelly Blue Book has the vehicle priced at $28,800 not sure how accurate they are.

The vehicle is not certified but they can add it for $1,200

Like I said it is fully loaded:

Chrome everywhere including wheels and roof rack
Leather
DVD system
Navigation
16,000 miles

They said they could remove the DVD system and the Navigation if if they do they would lower the price about $1,700.

I may do that but hate the fact that I have to in order to buy this vehicle. I guess I am really getting caught up in the low mileage

The other option is to buy the original one I looked at which is also a 2007 with 39,000 miles. No Nav or DVD and they want $22,000 so I guess I need to figure out is $5,000 worth it for 23,000 miles less, DVD and navigation

It depends on how much you think you will use those options. I was really big onto getting a sunroof in mine, but I can only use it half the year with winter, so a lot of the time, it isn't that useful, but I still enjoy it .

I really wanted the Nav in mine, but wasn't about to pay the factory price. I can get a new one for about 500 bucks and then get it installed and save a ton of money, which I may do that still.

If you think that those options will be used frequently, they may be worth it. If not, you may consider leaving them out or possibly putting them in later.

That sounds like good advice. You can always try to call their bluff, and say go ahead and take it out, but you'd need more off the price to do it. The labor option may be more of a pain for them.

Also - sounds like you'd really like the truck and its worth the price to you -- and in the end, that's all that really matters.

They are on CT's "Gold Coast" and thier customers usually don't haggle on price. That's the attitude at that dealership and that's the way it is.

That price is high.
I shopped all around Connecticut for 4 months before I found the deal I wanted and that was at a Chevy/Caddy dealer. Don't pass up the non Hummer GM dealers. They may have only 1 or 2 H3's on thier lot but usually that's where the deals are.
