Default RE: What Made You Want A Hummer.....

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.
