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.

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.

/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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

Nothing. Now I have 4 vehicles and two motorcycles.
