I'll report back on Friday AM and let you know what I did. Now get back to your families...it's fricken Christmas!!!

They didn't accept my offer this AM ($30k + Jeep), so I countered with $30,500 + Jeep and told them to call ONLY if they accept. I didn't want a phone call back asking for $32k.

Screw them...I'll get another H2 from somewhere else. But I have a feeling that they may call back before the end of the year and accept my offer. I don't think they want to pay the tax on that H2.

Sounds ok but is it being sold as new or used?
Ask if it is and if it is a pep vehicle?
I can do better on 5k miles for 44 new.

I have to agree. If their used car manager put $47K into the used unit, he or she doesn't have no JOB.. I bought my 03 in March with a Suppliers discount the sticker was $53+K and bought for just over $47+K.

Here in Indy they are going thru the wholesale auction from $37K to 40K on average.
I would venture tosay come the 1st of the year the used units will go down a bit, especially if you are in a property tax state.

Be patient and the price will get closer to $40K .

offer $41,k, give them your phone number, and then go all out in looking at other options nation-wide. It's a game of hard-ball. You have the ball in your court. let it sit on the lot a few days(or weeks) and they'll be putting your number on the speed-dial. What do you have to lose??? Just get a good look at the under-carriage and make sure the some dork didn't take it for a hard-core ride. You are in the cat-bird seat. Even if you paid their full price you'll drive away with a bad-as-hell ride. You are in a rare opportunity to scrape 'em on the rocks-- one of the only chances you will have in your lifetime to call a dealer's bluff on a vehicle you are craving(but don't let them know it)!!!! Capitalize on your opportunity.

I am currently looking into other deals. One deal is with Lynch Hummer in St. Louis. The other is with Detroit Hummer.

I am going to make this local dealer contact me if they want a to sell it. And if they do...I'm going back down to my original offer of $30k + Jeep. Since they tried to "stick me", I'm going to stick it back to them and lower my offer.

I'll find the right deal, Lynch is really offering me some good deals (on both an '03 & '04)
