Best deal on H2

[BlackH2]

I'm fast approching the time when I can finally buy an H2. I remember reading about people who are getting 5 to 10,000 off on the 03's. I know this topic has been discussed before but I have had a hard time finding an answer. Who has found the best deal do far on either a 03 or 04? I live in the Seattle area but would be willing to drive across the country if necessary. Thanks all for your help.

NOC, Those are the deals I've heard about. If you remember what dealerships those were I would appreciate it.

I called my initial dealer and they told me I could pick up the truck they were installing the dvd system but they didn't have the 3rd headrest screen installed yet. When I told them I would pick up the truck and come back when the screen was in, they said "we don't know if the dvd sytem works yet because the installer had not tested it. He was waiting for the third screen. I told them I wouldn't pick it up unless they were sure and I was sure that everything worked. Man, am I frustrated!
I was going to try to cut a quick substitute deal with Spike's dealership today. Thanks for the info Spike, but that deal you got was one in a million. I called your salesperson today and he said your deal was a one shot on an '03 they had left when you called. They said they could offer you a great deal because the truck didn't have a sunroof and wasn't very loaded. I tried to get a deal on an '04 Lux with air suspension and navigation. I was quoted $52,840 on a sticker of $57,840. They don't seem to want to budge on a reasonably well optioned vehicle. They will knock off more on a base model or something without Lux, nav, and air suspension, but it doesn't seem to be working for me as others customers unaware of this forum are going in and paying sticker on trucks with installed packages like Lux and Adventure. It is particularly hard to strike a deal when a winter storm is expected to hit tonight. Your salesman said the phone is ringing off the hooks. He gave me the line about checking with his manager as I asked for $51,000 for the truck with Lux, nav, and air suspension...but no deal. I have no trade and am paying cash so they won't make any money reselling a trade. I am frustrated. I am not satisfied with the delays at the original dealer, but I don't seem to be able to get the deals some of you are reporting. Where are those $7K to $10K below sticker deals?

Drive out to Entait Washington to buy this 4800 miles new Hummer for $34,000. At least bring your digital camera with a flash that works. Let's show the Canadians how we Americans push a button or better at photoshop.

Spike,

$36,000 over 5 years comes out to $600/month. Did you get 0% financing?

Email me that dealer info too. I'd like to have it as a backup. sipsfifths@yahoo.com

Thanks!

There's a black H2 Lux with 3 TV screens and some chrome upgrades with a sunroof for $46,900 in the Pennsy area but it has 12K miles on it. I'm not sure you'll get what you want on the east coast for that price, particularly for a new one. But try doing a search using autotrader.com or some other auto search service.

Born Again,

It's all about the color.. What color are you looking for? Black, Green, Yellow are all 7k below sticker here in Cali on 03's. Pewter and white.. they won't budge. 5k under MSRP.

That is an INSANE deal. Hope your dealer follows thru with the sale. They will always try to pull something when the car does arrive.

the truck is on the lot. I went online to the GM site and asked them to send me info. The dealer sent me this offer on a specific VIN #. When I got there, the truck was still on the lot so I gave them a deposit. I check consumer reports and they gave me a dealer invoice of $44,500.

Just got off the phone witht he dealer. Its being prep'd and I can pick it up tonight!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Born again,
Maybe I did get lucky with the timing of my call or maybe they took a lot off because of the color (yellow). One thing I can tell you is it was not a one in a million deal because it wasn't very loaded. Granted I don't have a sun roof, however this vehicle has everything else. Lux package, Air ride, Wrap around front brush guard and rear tailight guards. I also think at the time they were pushing to get the remaining 03's off the lot to make room for the 04's.

Detonate,
I am a very serious buyer and interested in using a GMS Discount Coupon. An H2 is going to be a bit of a stretch for me (I promised myself that I wouldn't spend over 35K) but I think with the tax benefits I can justify the purchase. I can manage 44K (as you had mentioned you paid). If you know how I can get a new H2 for around 44K, I would truly appreciate your assistance/advice.

Dominic, That sounds like a good deal. That sounds like it may be close to what the vehicle cost them. If it is you won't do any better than that. If I were you, I would PULL THE TRIGGER.

Spike, That's one hell of a deal. Please e-mail me the info. scotth@premier-lending.net . Do you think one of Detonates GMS coupons would help? I don't know the conditions of using those and wouldn't want to waste one. Detonate, thanks for the offer. If it helps my cause I would love one.

[Dominick]

The dealer is Perrine GMC (not sure of the spelling) in cranbury NJ. They were very specific with the VIN #. The Sales Mgr is telling me that the offer I got was a typo. He honored the deal, but won't budge on Finance rate. I think he gonna hit me for 6%.

Kudus to the dealker for honoring the deal if it is truely a typo

Joe,
Check with someone who is up to date on the tax issue, my tax guy said there is a Nov 17 cut off due to new legistation going through the senate. I heard it was happening soon, but I could not say i know where things stand on a new purchase, you better get some good advice. My guy said anything prior to 11-17-03 will get full deduction but after??

I was looking for Black.

Dominick:
Send me the info on your guy at Perrine, please. GWA3445@aol.com Thanks. To add insult to injury, while I was sulking today, I had to drive the NJ turnpike today to get to a work meeting. Near blizzard conditions in north Jersey and it took me four hours for a forty minutes normal ride. When I arrived at my meeting, the only parking space left was next to a majestic looking '04 H2. Looked like it had hardly broken a sweat getting through the snow. I just sat in the car and dreamed of the missed opportunity in the snow...
