[GotSandH3]

I paid $34,000 out the door for my Lux and off-road package with 5-speed. Thats all i got. No Chrome, side steps or any of that other stuff.

[XM DUDE]

for years I was a devoted jeep fanatic.I really fell in love with the Rubicon, then I met the H3 and that changed that.
I want an H3 in the worst way.

[FormerJeeper]

Me too...lots of Jeeps including a highly built XJ and TJ.

You wont be disappointed with the H3.
I love it more than any other vehicle I've owned.

The ONE thing you have to order is the tow package.
The hitch cannot be retro-fitted since it is in the middle of the bumper and would require a new bumper to do it.

- and don't forget the moonroof.

[Desert Dan]

I plan on ordering a Lux and Adventure Pkg. with 5-speed (of course) with Sunroof, Trailer Hitch and side skid rails and under body protection skids and maybe roof rails

Big decision is the color and if I should keep the Rubicon??

No Bling for Me

[cwbrg]

Yes I am doing it, I think I will get the white one, seems like scratches will be less noticable in white (Scrub oak). 5 speed offroad and lux

[FormerJeeper]

Dan,

I'd keep the Rubi if you can afford too http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Surferjo]

This is my 4th Jeep which im trading in if Ramp Hummer can ever get my H3 order right (9 weeks and counting).

I really need the xtra space. I think down the road I'll pick up an older 86 (before the square lights) and fix it up.

The older Wranglers have alot more character than the newer ones do.

I happen to have a 2003 Jeep for sale right now. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I paid 32915 for lux, offroad, 5 spd, brush guard, black tube steps, sunroof and trailering. After AZ taxes title license totaled 35206. edit: sorry 36206 forgot about the deposit.

I'm really glad I waited and got the 5 speed its a lot of fun! I swear its the perfect car. Luxury with the leather and sunroof, capability with the offroad and sporty with 5 speed. You'll love it!

well said, it does what the Rubicon does, only better!

[Mike B]

When I was looking recently, I was choosing between the Rubicon, landcruiser (very used) and H3. After driving all three I chose the H3. I liked the fact that the Rubicon has solid locking front and read axles, but with a family, I couldn't picture taking long trips in a Rubicon. The landcruiser feels way too heavy. Plus having two previous Jeeps (ZJ and XJ), the build quality of Jeeps is terrible.

I just went with a basic Birch White, Adventure, brush, auto, w/ towing, steps and roof rails for $29,900.

Its official 36.5k later WE own(me and the bank)
A silver LUX/offroad with other trinkets. Lets see how long my wife with the KIA minivan takes before she wants one for herself.......

Congrats. You'll love it on and off the pavement. If my Hummer dealer hadn't been around the corner from the Jeep dealer, I'd probably have bought a new Rubi. Boy, am I glad I got curious about the H3.

[cwbrg]

first verture off road today, mostly sand and a few hills, this thing is great....

[Gun Oil]

Dealers in various markets are obviously very different on what they will give off MSRP...

We got ours about 2 weeks ago, and it has EVERY option that I can think of. (It was for the Mrs.)

Our dealer would only come $700.00 off MSRP.....

[michcsi9]

i got mine for 1,000 over dealer invoice and they gave me two 500.00 gas cards. So with an added brush guard and not counting the gass cards my total counting tt & l was only a few hundred over sticker. Work them all you can

[Waxing]

Am I the only one that paid list for there H3? I paid exactly what was on the sticker 37,385. The H3 's we're only out 4 weeks when I got mine and the dealer said that they are not moving on price. That they were moving off the lot [ they were ]. Bought mine at Paramus Hummer in New Jersey.

[cwbrg]

i didnt say what I got for my trade, i just feel better THINKING I got a deal.......

Don't feel bad, you aren't the only one who paid sticker. I had a GMID cert that the dealer would not take, but I finally caved and paid MSRP. Worth every penny.

[Waxing]

Two points I wanted to make. 1 GM nailed it with the H3 I am very happy. 2 I am sorry I didn't get the sun roof. My truck was on the show room floor and from what I can tell it has everything but the sun roof.

[michcsi9]

sun roof was manditory when i was looking for mime

[westhillsat]

We are going to drive 3 hours (one way) tommorrow to test drive an H3. One dealer in Montana. Then we will order one from the factory with our options, sunroof of course.

We can get it for $500.00 over invoice by using the Costco warehouse store auto buying program.
Dealer said that is what the dealership will add to the invoice price. We'll save about $2,600.00.

[Waxing]

westhillsat, welcome to the site, good luck with your hummer you will love it. Let us know how you like the test drive. That seems to be a great price.

[Pwrsport]

We Went up to Wyoming to buy ours cause the JERKS at Medved Hummer tried to Jerk us around. The Folks at White Mountain Hummer in Casper, were GREAT. Moral of story.. DONT be afraid to travel a little, somone will work with you...Call ahead, it will save travel time....

- Good luck on your test drive. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif you gonna love the sunroof, is like driving a convertible when its open. Funny thing is I didn't get to test drive an H3 when I ordered mine, so my truck now was my first test drive when I drove it out the lot after over 6 weeks of wait to arrive.

[black20]

No, you are not the only one who paid for full list.I paid full list to back in may when they first came out in chicago. It was some where around 38,000.

[Walter_Cronkite]

Yes, welcome to the Dark Side you thin skinned H3 punk.

[westhillsat]

We got back from Billings at 12:30 am. The dealership was great. We test drove a black H3 on the interstate and through the city. Loved the feel of it. When we got done testing, we went in and placed the order. We are getting a really good price from going through Costco.

Their updated costco book showed that the price went up to $700.00 over invoice for the H3.

We ordered the superior blue, automatic, cloth and all the chrome, sunroof, off road top lights and a couple other things. This will be soo cool when it gets in.

They even have a hummer track around back, it was dark when we finished the dealing, our son was bummed. The sales conslutant said when we come back to pick it up, he will take us on the track with an H3 and an H2. COOL

[The Green Lantern]

http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Congratulations!...see the great things about buying a hummer is that you can customize, add accesorries and things that you want or need, like what I did and it's worth the wait.... cheers!!

[westhillsat]

Was recently talking to one of the guy's at the dealership, he said the Costco price for someone coming in now would be $100.00 below msrp. That sure changed...

I had the same experience with Medved in Denver. They are indeed jerks...avoid them at all costs! White's Mountain in Casper Wyoming on the other hand is the single best dealership I have ever dealt with.

[HummerJim]

I loved my old '83 Wrangler, but the H3 does everything better or as good, and it is SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE and quieter!!!!

That sucks. What would be the point? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[LAHummer]

Check with your company to see if they have the X plan. We purchased ours that way and saved $$$. The sticker was 34,850 for Adventure pkg. We added black step bars and locking gas cap and paid 31,849. Disappointed in our trade value but we're happy with the H3.

[Ken06H3]

I have driven Jeep (Cherokee & Grand Cherokees)products for nearly 20 years and traded my V8 '03 Grand Cherokee for a H3. No regrets...

[Highlander]

I paid sticker price plus an extra $3000 because i was upside down on my trade in and i dont regret it. My H3 is that much better than the 2003 Chevy S-10 4X4 i owned.
