Hi Folks,
I'm thinking of leasing an H2. It's a 2003 with about 50k miles on it. Couple questions...
1. Would it be safe to say that the gas consumption would be about double of a car such as a Mazda 3? Haven't actually checked the gas consumption numbers yet.
2. Are repairs extremely expensive?
3. Is regular maintenance expensive?
I already checked and insurance isn't an issue. Actually it's cheaper than my current vehicle which is over 10 years old.. lol..funny how these insurance companies work..
Thx. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
1) I've had times I averaged 7.5 MPG. Think about spending 50 cents a mile on gas alone... if this doesn't bother you... cool!
2) What repairs? I replaced a window which cost about $350... but that's about all I've had to pay for outside warranty...
3) Jiffy lube every 3000 miles. About $35. Sames price as my mini van.
Get the truck! You'll love it. If the cost of gas bothers you... get a used one. The savings will offset the cost of the gas...
The Hidden Cost of owning a Hummer it is in the $25,000 worth of aftermarket goodies that even of the most miserly of us eventually justify buying.
Fortunately, I've avoided this trap...
Look forward to reading your "I got my truck!" post soon.
