Default Re: Good-bye Hummer, it was great.

You gent's may be right and I could be back. Perhaps it is just frustration on my part but I can't see rolling the dice on if Hummer will be around, and if GM or the new buyer will provide service years from now. One can read on this very forum that some think "they" have to provide parts for 10 years, but then others post that if they go belly-up, then they owe nothing. If I was a current Hummer owner, I would remain one and keep it.

I have seen my home value reduce here in Phoenix 40%, and my 401k go down close to 50%, I can't see paying Lynch Hummer 70 grand for a new Hummer and a day later it will be worth 30% less. Remember, I am the idioit that drove from Phoenix to St. Louis at Christmas to try and buy a used one with a few thousand miles on it. As time continues to pass I do not see the future of Hummer looking any brighter now than it was last fall when I started to look around again. I am not investing 40 or 50 grand on a used one not knowing if I can buy a part for it five years from now.

You are right OrangeCrush and I said from the start, there is no comparison between a Jeep and H2. There can't be as a $17,000 vehicle can't compare with a $70,000 vehicle. For kicking around the desert it will do a fine job.

My issue has never been about the ability of the Hummer as they are the best. My concern is the future of serivce and parts etc. I can't afford to take that gamble at this stage of the game. I have been sitting on the side line for too long now and want to get back out in the desert and have some fun. I am one of the few that really use a four wheel drive off road. Thanks again for the input as I enjoy reading your comments.
