I became attached to the Hummer brand in June of 2002 as a new hire at a Hummer dealership in New Mexico. After driving the H1 I knew Hummer was the brand of vehicle I wanted to sell and that a lot of money would be made on the H2. . I made the money and after going to school in South Bend for Hummer certification I wanted to own one. I am out of the business now, back into broadcasting and after much anticipation had my first test drive of the H3. It is everything I hoped it would be. I find the acceleration is just like the H2. The squatty windows give a false sense of speed when driving because there is less moving around you. I did fine on the freeway in my opinion. The Mgr. told me they are moving fast at $1,000 over sticker. I will have to wait for fall but was very impressed with it for the price. It is a real Hummer and like nothing else.

usetosell,

Are you in NM? I just went by the dealer yesterday here in Albuquerque and was amazed that they were CLOSED at 6:10PM. I guess they close at 6 ... I have never heard of a dealer closing that early on a weekday.

Oh well, there were a couple parked out front so I got a good look but I did notice the $1000 dealer markup over MSRP. Unreal! I would NEVER pay that.

I have to wait until they come down below MSRP but the more I see them the more I want one.

yea they close at 6 from what I understand. If you work them I am sure they will come down a bit but if that doesn't work try Sewell in Dallas.

We're selling them at MSRP, if you fly on a weekday, a plane ticket to DFW will cost you $177. I'll pick you up at the airport, so there's no taxi charges. It's about 650 miles from Plano to Albuquerque, so you're looking at at only having to buy a single tank of gas, so all told you'll spend about $225 extra to fly and drive your new H3 as opposed to paying $1000 for the privilege of buying one at all. And you'll already have your first adventure in your H3 built in.

If I can be of any help, let me know. We have 10 available right now.

Why is that? I'm just curious...

After seeing the huge first year loss and the fact that I will have to finance the truck I will never pay retail for any vehicle again. Mark-up on the truck is between 3 and 5 k depending on the options installed. Some H2 owners have taken a 20-30% loss in the first year. You will be able to buy a 34,000 H3 from an auction first of next year for probally 25-26k. I just won't do it.

Ouch, that doesn't sound good Well, at least I will try to enjoy my H3 now that I have it

Thanks for the explanation!
