What did you sell or trade to get the H3?

[TA8088]

Just curious what anyone sold or traded to make room for an H3 in the garage. I traded an 01 Navigator to get mine. The $80+ fill-ups and 12MPG was getting old.

Nothing, everybody says I need to sell one of my vehicles but I say it gives options.

I traded the wife's H2 in for a black H3. She hated the H3 (despite all the accessories I put on it). So, after 32 days of ownership she now has a Mercedes 4-Matic Wagon. She still hates me for selling her Yellow beast. I don't blame her.

I am working on a used H1 to keep at the cabin. But I need to sell a few toys first.

Your black H3 was sweet. Why didn't she like it? I'm probably going to put the same MKW rims on mine at some point. I think they would look great on a Boulder Gray H3.

[FLYINGBADGER2006]

I traded my 2002 Ford Explorer. I did a lot to that bad boy. I lowered it, by installing Ford Motor Racing (Eibach) lowering springs, K&N intake, Borla dual exhaust, Streetscences honeycomb grille,(Mustang GT)SSR Competition 18 inch wheels with 245/45/18 Yokahamas, Mustang air scoop,H.I.D. headlights,Rotor discs were slotted and drilled with red painted brake calipers, Clarion in dash DVD, and a partridge in a peartree. I got 15k for it, on the trade in. I was told that the car was sold the next day to the Lotboy at the dealership. I hope hes having fun doing doughnuts in the parking lot. I do miss my black XLT. But I am very happy with the H3.

[bparker]

/shamefully I traded in my 2002 Z06 Corvette for my H3.... but I am still happy to this day with the descision. However, I would NOT do it for one of the new Z06s with the 427s in them. =)

Wow!! How could you give up that car. As much as I love my H3 so far the thought of giving up my Vette to do it never even entered my mind. I got my Vette about a month before the Hummer and wish that I could have gotten a Z06 but it was just a little beyond my budget.

Those Mini's seem to be really popular so it's not surprising that they have a high trade in. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I think the MKW M18's will look great with that color. I really do recommend these because have the proper off set and back spacing for the H3. This is a pic of our fist H2. It was gorgeous. Somewhere along the way I decided to trade it in for a 9 passenger Yukon XL (makes sense as we have 5 children). Ironically, my kids revolted and even my wife kept complaining that she liked the H2. Hence, I traded in her minivan and bought her the Yellow H2. The transition from a H2 to H3 was difficult for us all. We had issues with interior space (not al lot of room for car seats), interior ergonomics (window switches) and especially the lack of power. Granted the H2 is almost 7,000 pounds but that V8 really moves when you push it. Don't get me wrong, the H3 is a nice truck, but the transition was too much for us. I almost bought her a 2005 H2 but it just didn't make sense.

[crotch_rocket_pilot]

A 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I know Jeep is a dirty word around here, but I kinda miss the Jeep. But the hummer is much better!

[DarthKarl]

Bye Bye '96 "S-U-Wantabe" Ford Explorer Sport...hello H3!

[NJHummerGuy]

Scion tC. Yes a Scion...I have a car issue, they looked fun so wanted one.....last about a year and now onto the H3...and not looking back.

[fourfourto]

2004 nissan Murano crossover suv very fast and smooth 20-25 mpg but a litle light on the off roading. H3 worth the extra gas it uses nothing like it .

The trade of my wife's Trailblazer on the H3 was her cure of the postpartum blues.

[Mike B]

2000 BMW 540i fully loaded w/ sports package and //M package. The BMW was my first non-4wd vehicle. I miss the power (Munich Muscle) and acceleration (not like the Vette though) and the pure luxury, but I enjoy going off road too much and the H3 is the best stock off road vehicle I've owned (having owned 2 Wranglers and 1 GC).

[Humden]

Nothing. Now I have 4 vehicles and two motorcycles.

JUST A SIDE NOTE:

HERE'S MY "CURE" WHEN MY WIFE'S POSTPARTUM BLUES KICK IN - HEAD UP NORTH, SIT IN A TREE, AND SHOOT A BUCK......

[woyster_h3]

I sold my wife's 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 and bought the H3 for her. I love the H3, she "really likes it, but doesn't love it". She says she really misses her truck...but with twins on the way, an extended cab truck just wasn't going to cut it.

I sold my 2004 Toyota 4 door 4x4 truck it only had 6000 miles on it, It had no payments (free and clear), before my granddad past away he purchased it for me. Towards the end of his life i did everything for him, and i mean everything!!!After i had the truck for about a year i seen the H3 and fell in love so i traded that truck (which I loved). Just got the title to the H3 (free and clear) NO PAYMENTS!!!!

[Edspad]

Untimely or Timely Death of our Dodge Durango was cause of our Purchase. with a few Bucks we got back from our Insurance and a few small children to a slaver ship, we picked up our H3

[1COOLH3]

I sadly parted with my Yukon but I have no regrets- I love my H3!

[psywzrd]

Infiniti FX35 for me. I had it for about 10 months before I got my H3. I'm so glad I got rid of that piece. Every day I drove it I hated it more and more.

[1COOLH3]

OOPS! My picture file didnt work. I'll try again.

[HumbleAg]

Dumped an '04 Explorer, 9 months old and developing a bad case of the rattles.

3 months with the H3 and still tight as new.

Maybe I'll be able to keep this one a while...

hurricane rita made my decision

[HIHUMMER]

I traded in my 2004 LXI Sebring Convertible. It's much easier getting the kids in and out of the H3!

[MyxH3]

I traded in my 2001 Lifted and trail pimped out Xterra, And they paid me hansomely for it. They even sold it before I picked up my hummer. Was a great vehicle although I am glad I traded it in on the H3. No regrets what so ever

[TexasRTR78]

My husband traded in my POS Ford Escort ZX2 that was my "economy" car. I bought it cause it was cheap and it got me through my college years with no break downs...but it was time to upgrade to a "congrats" car for getting through college and passing my boards! Dealer laughed and said, "...first time we have ever had someone drive in here with an Escort and drive away with a Hummer!"...I just laughed!

[Black H1]

I sold my Black H1 open top for the H3. I miss her greatly.

But the Army does take good care of me so its not so bad.

HUA!

Sorry, I hate to say it, but you would have to get some chicks pretty jacked up to pose in front of a" PT cruiser"

[Rajin Cajun]

A 2002 Ford F-150 Supercrew FX4. A really good toy hauler but I must admit I enjoy the H3 more. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Steve - SanJose]

I traded a '02 Toyota Highlander Limited. It was a perfectly fine vehicle but boring. As of today the Highlander still sits in the dealer's used car lot (4 1/2 months since traded).

I predict you will buy and H1 or H2 in the near future. I know, it happened to me.

[2xtreme]

I traded my 2003 Silverado SS in on mine. 13mpg and premium gas was getting old, besides we had another kid on the way and needed more room in the back to haul both of them http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I had a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 4x4 with the ZR2 package. I love my H3 with the 33 inch tires. There is no comparison which is the better vehicle.

[Roadman]

Traded

[Roadman]

Sold

[tmiller]

04 VW Touareg V8 Air suspension locking rear 12-13 mpg on high test. In the shop more than I drove it. It was a great car if they knew how to work on them. ( WOW... why trade in a H1 for a H3?????)I mean thats ok but???

[evldave]

1994 BMW325i. I drove from Portland, Or to Las Vegas to LA, then back to Portland over 3k miles and 4 days (wanted to go for a road trip). Came back, took a 4 hr nap, drove it down and traded it in.

I went from 33 mpg on the freeway to 18. 23 mpg in town to 15. And I DON'T CARE! I guess it says something about how much I cared about my BMW if I can't find a single picture of it even though I had it for 2-1/2 years...

[michcsi9]

I sold my dads 2003 Jeep liberty renagade, which I was paying for, for my H3. This is the first car I drive that is in my name, that I bought myself. It feels so good. Next stop; House!!

[shipbldr]

No!!! Michcsi9... next stop is a...

BUSINESS!

Then people work for you give you cash all then time, even when you are not working!

Or realestate... (Talk to Ken about this one, he know better than I...)

Both of these are ASSETS that give you cash... forever!

Buying a house with a J-O-B will suck you dry... its easier to build assets when you have little overhead...

BTW Congrats on buying one HELL of a nice truck http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[michcsi9]

Thanks, but I love my job. The good thing is that I will get my dads buisness and two of my moms later on, all I will have to do is find someone to run them. I am not much of a buisness savy person but this way I can keep doing what I do and own buisnesses!!!

[Razor55]

Gladly traded in an upside down 2002 Isuzu Axiom. We took a several hour ride on Thanksgiving day. What great highway manners! Decent mileage too. I've driven lots of cars and motorcycles and no one ever started a conversation with me in any parking lot until I rode Harleys, and drove my H3.

[grims34]

I traded my 2002 BMW M3 coupe which was fully loaded Carbon Black Metallic color with black leather interior. I loved that car, but the service and maintanance was rediculous, also it had many problems, I believe it also had suspension problems because I had to replace the tires every 3,000 miles. Not worth the hassle of getting stuck in the winter either. I am just out of college and starting my career so as I move up in my position I will probably buy another BMW as a weekend car in addition to the HUMMER

[BABHUMV]

Really did sell the plane, but not to get the Hummer, Just the Murano. Smooth but booorrriiinnnnggg!!! I could never get used to the CVT trans. It did not shift, constant RPM's all the way to speed desired. I have not found top speed on the Hummer. I have seen 165 in the BMW, 140 indicated on the ST1300 115 in the Lightning, 120 in the Murano, and 160 knots (Max for that plane, was in front of jet traffic going into SFO) in the Archer. I bought the Hummer to Crawl though!

[fourfourto]

BABHUMV The 04 murano has a lockout at 108mph how did you get it to 120mph?

[BABHUMV]

Downhill with a tail wind obviously!! LOL

[GreenH3]

Got rid of my 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Proud Hummer owner since June 1, 2005.
