OK, went last night. They are charging 5K markup on that white one, but they said it is only to keep that one truck on the lot, otherwise they would have none to show or test drive. They want to keep that white one on the lot for the month of June and possibly keep it for a dealer demo.
Everything else coming in will be sold for MSRP. I don't have a problem with that.
They wouldn't let anyone test drive the white one yet, said it would be today. I did get to poke around in it and start it up. It is quiet.
Thoughts:
Dash and interior were very impressive! Great materials and fit and finish looked very good for a GM vehicle. Doesn't feel "plastic" at all.
Knobs and controls felt nice and upscale. brushed aluminum dash and shifter bezel are nice. Glad there is no wood. Yuk!
Leather was nice and suple, although I am not a fan of the colored piping.
Rear door opens really easily with the gas shock. Nice feature
Rear cargo area is rubber and is padded! I was suprised by that. Seats don't fold completely flat, but adequate.
Motor is crammed in the engine compartment. Good luck getting anything bigger in there.
Almost everthing they are getting in are LUX models, but they still have about 25 upspken for vehicles that you can put your name on a waiting list for. No deposit required, first come/first serve.
The guys there were extremely nice and spent about an hour with us just looking at everything.
They had grey, white and black on the lot. The red one had just left. But you couldn't open up the truck to see the inside as they were paid for. Fair enough. I wouldn't want every yahoo crawling around in my new vehicle either.
Overall I had an enjoyable evening there, even though I did not take one home. I would recommend Valencia, I think they got a bad wrap on here.
Good news is the wife loved it, and it would be for her. So as soon as my used car sells and I can find the right color, I might be a new Hummer owner.
Happy Friday.
