I screwed up!

[Intercooled]

My 2005 H2 lease was up and I really wanted to buy it out but it didnt make much financial sense. So I gave it up and bought a 2008 TRail Blazer SS. real nice vehicle but no Hummer, thats for sure. Its been 2 months and I cant get over How small it feels. I called My Hummer delaership and am going to look at an 08H2 SUT this weekend. I went with the trail balzer trying to convince myself that gas prices are going up and I really didnt need to have a monthly car bill thats that costly. Well now I realize that I realy miss the H2. It was worth the extra money every month and from what I understand you can get 15MPG on the 08 ? ****, I'm getting 14 in the trail blazer!! So now I hope that I can get out of the Trail blazer with outtaking much of a hit.

15mpg in an 08? no way!! If you're getting 14 in the SS, you'll be back to 10mpg in teh new H2.

just suck it up for a few years. You're going to loose many thousands of dollars trading so soon.

I got 12 in my 05. New power train is suppose to be better.

I only got 13 in my 02 GMC Envoy. I like GM, but that was a POS out of the gate. Figured I may as well get something worthy of crap gas mileage...

I bought an '08 H2 (SUV, not SUT) 2.5 months ago ... I get 11 mpg. But, I can't imagine driving anything else.

Goooooood luck.

Let us know how it goes.

Went to Hummer Manchester NH this morning. Talked trade and numbers. Numbers were pretty good for a 36 month lease. Only problem was that i want an 08 slate blue SUT and none are to be found in New England. They tryed talking me into a black one they had in stock. Looks like I'll just wait until the 09's come out. I would only assume that the numbers arent going to be so good. I asked about ordering from the factory but they seemed to think that the 08 build year is over.

The H2 plant is ramping back up on June 2nd - and will produce 08 models for another couple months before 2009s. However, dealers have already ordered the 2008 models -- they can check and see if they have one on order already and tag it sold.

So, it not possible to place an order at this point?
I dont think they have one on order, I've been buy this dealership a few times and they only seem to have 2 on hand at a time. I dont thik they move H2's like they say they do. The ones they have there now have been there for some time. I searched the other dealerships in the New England area and they dont more than 4-6 on hand. One even has quite a few 07's left over.

Intercooled, why oh why would you go to Quirk Hummer in Manchester? I live in Manchester on and off for a good part of my life and I mde the mistake of trying to deal with them when they were called Dobles, for Corvettes and H2's. They get about one Corvette convertable a year and would rather sit on it and get retail than knock a penny off the price. I actually forgot and went back to them for my 07 H2 and spoke to the manager directly and he wouldn't go more than a few thousand off which actually surprised me he would even do that.

Sooo I went to Herb Chambers in Danvers Mass and spoke with the new car manager there (I forget his name) and I got a new 07 for $1k "under" invoice which was like $7-8k lower than Dobles. Now I forget but there was some kind of rebate then because the 08's were out and of course you might (probably) not get the same deal, but they do have a ton of H2's in stock.. As a matter of fact most of the Massachsetts dealers do, and they want to move them unlike Quirk in Manchester who only gets a few H2's in a time...

Also if you don't know, if you are a resident of NH, you will not pay any Mass sale tax on anything you buy, vehicles that is...

follow up, I just checked the Herb Chambers website and they do list as having a slate blue metallic 08 SUT in stock, Model Number:RN25736 ... and I remembered the managers name was John Ricco. Tell them the couple from NH that bought an H2 from him and wrote a letter of praise to his boss Herb Chambers himself, sent you, He'll remember us...

A-Yup, the SS is a sport unit. Big diff between and the H2....
2-MPGs seem inline. I roll 12.5 in my JEEP....
3-Speaking of which, why did ya buy the slow sport SUV?

My solution: Get a used 05 LUX for 25K'ish. Problem solved.
