That's really interesting. I've been scoping out inventory and lot movement on the H2s at several dealerships here now for a month and at least here, sales have definitely slowed the past week. H2s are staying on the lot longer, salespeople are getting more in a bargaining mood. I don't know if it's because car sales normally slow the closer we get to Xmas, or if it's the initial demand bubble is bursting, but it is interesting. As I mentioned in another post, I had a salesguy actually bargaining with me below MSRP on an H2 this week.
I think 35K is a lousy buyback price though for only 6 months depreciation and given current demand, especially if they expect you to pay MSRP to begin with. Maybe 45K....
