hello all

i am a newbie seeking advice and help regarding a purchase i made today on a 2005 h2 surwith 46000 miles. More Photos

i haggled him and we settled on 28845 with new battery full tank of gas too haha. he took me seriously from the minute i told him i secured my own financing with my credit union. please offer your input because i did not sign anything yet did not even give my social security number just left my old 01 chevy and took my keys. due to the nato summ it here in the windy city business must be suffering. your thoughts please?

 

bump up

 

Right now for a 2005 according to sources that I checked, a 2005 H2 SUT the instant market value of it is 23,649. I saw a few ranging in price from 19,000 27,000. If you give him 28,845 I would also make him throw in some new tires that has some good tread on them. Tell him you want 5 Goodyear Duratrac's thrown in with it...

 

i will check and see. thanks

 

right now the tires are toyo all terrain. the wheels are 20 inch chromed

 

Got my 2005 SUT in Antioch (down 173 from Chicago) for 23'000 with 60k all leather, new tera grapplers on chromed 20's, sunroof, 2" suspension lift, and a hard tonneau. Someone jacked the rear entertainment display though so there was a funky cover on the headliner, they removed the rear swing gate and the dealership couldn't track it down so they refunded me 1800 to get a swing gate and a spare (bought the gobi roof rack with spare tire carrier on top).

Much better deals out there for under 24k and that should leave you with 4k to spend on goodies for it.

 

damn...and i bought my 04 H2 for half that price and it's in awesome condition...

 

I would reconsider what you are getting for that truck. Maybe if the dealer would give you a 4 month warranty, new tires, full tank, 4 oil changes, new brakes, new rotors, 100% over hall service (oil change, spark plugs, transfer, transmission, front and rear diff change, air filter, everything re-greased). Then I would think about it for a few days and then make a decision. You can find better deals out there and I would show him. If he wants to sell that truck, he will do whatever it takes to please you. They probably got the truck from a action for maybe $20k and trying to make a killing off it.

 

I just picked up my '05 with 96k and loaded for $18,999. $28k is kinda steep.

 

If you give me the last 8 numbers of the vin# I can check the auction report and tell you what he payed for it if he bought it through manheim auctions. sound like a $20-23k car
