Just curious what anyone sold or traded to make room for an H3 in the garage. I traded an 01 Navigator to get mine. The $80+ fill-ups and 12MPG was getting old.

Really did sell the plane, but not to get the Hummer, Just the Murano. Smooth but booorrriiinnnnggg!!! I could never get used to the CVT trans. It did not shift, constant RPM's all the way to speed desired. I have not found top speed on the Hummer. I have seen 165 in the BMW, 140 indicated on the ST1300 115 in the Lightning, 120 in the Murano, and 160 knots (Max for that plane, was in front of jet traffic going into SFO) in the Archer. I bought the Hummer to Crawl though!

2000 BMW 540i fully loaded w/ sports package and //M package. The BMW was my first non-4wd vehicle. I miss the power (Munich Muscle) and acceleration (not like the Vette though) and the pure luxury, but I enjoy going off road too much and the H3 is the best stock off road vehicle I've owned (having owned 2 Wranglers and 1 GC).

My husband traded in my POS Ford Escort ZX2 that was my "economy" car. I bought it cause it was cheap and it got me through my college years with no break downs...but it was time to upgrade to a "congrats" car for getting through college and passing my boards! Dealer laughed and said, "...first time we have ever had someone drive in here with an Escort and drive away with a Hummer!"...I just laughed!

I traded my 2002 BMW M3 coupe which was fully loaded Carbon Black Metallic color with black leather interior. I loved that car, but the service and maintanance was rediculous, also it had many problems, I believe it also had suspension problems because I had to replace the tires every 3,000 miles. Not worth the hassle of getting stuck in the winter either. I am just out of college and starting my career so as I move up in my position I will probably buy another BMW as a weekend car in addition to the HUMMER

I sold my wife's 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 and bought the H3 for her. I love the H3, she "really likes it, but doesn't love it". She says she really misses her truck...but with twins on the way, an extended cab truck just wasn't going to cut it.

I sold my dads 2003 Jeep liberty renagade, which I was paying for, for my H3. This is the first car I drive that is in my name, that I bought myself. It feels so good. Next stop; House!!

I traded in my 2004 LXI Sebring Convertible. It's much easier getting the kids in and out of the H3!

1994 BMW325i. I drove from Portland, Or to Las Vegas to LA, then back to Portland over 3k miles and 4 days (wanted to go for a road trip). Came back, took a 4 hr nap, drove it down and traded it in.

I went from 33 mpg on the freeway to 18. 23 mpg in town to 15. And I DON'T CARE! I guess it says something about how much I cared about my BMW if I can't find a single picture of it even though I had it for 2-1/2 years...
