Buying Decision

[Skulz]

buy now, enjoy it now
if you buy off the lot, ask for 4k off minimum

if you want to wait, you'll pay more (price increase etc) and probably AT or possibly above MSRP

spend the extra money and get a new vehicle and get what YOU want...if you find a used one, more power to you!

if you order one, you can still negotiate a few k at least off MSRP

I don't think MAC will buy a new 04 H2 for 55k according to some of the price adjustments I've seen mentioned. I'd bet against MAC on this one for sure. No, getting a base model doesn't count either!

I got my H2 from GoldCoast. All i said was how close can you get to invoice and they said we will do it for invoice. Make sure to see the real paper not the index card. They were very easy to deal with only one hour and they gave me 37k for my vette which with tax savings is like 39k. So far I love my H2 except for a few rattles.

I am with you guys 100%. Get the most bad-ass vehicle on the road NOW! Just be prepared to open the doors to let others check it out.

Get the Garmin Street Pilot III. If the GM nav system functions anything like OnStar it will suck. Besides, you can take the Garmin in different vehicles, which is what I do when I travel. Not bad for $800 and my guess is it will work much better. GET THE H2 NOW, and then get another one in 2006!

What dealer in NJ did you get invoice? I could get GM Supplier but do you think I could get GM Supplier plus the reduction of going to invoice?

Thanks,

Raj

I am planning to wait until Oct/Nov when the price of the 03 H2 should drop a little bit, but then part of me thinks I will want to the 04 then, so its a tough call. I myself would rather have the after market Nav so that wont be a selling point for me. I think I will see how the prices go the next few months. A local dealer in Philly is advertisting zero down, 599 a month, but I find that hard to believe.

The sales rep at my local dealer told me today that production of the '04's begins in July with dealers taking delivery in August. That explains my earlier comment. I guess I need to consider the source.

It may very well suck, but totally different technology from OnStar. My wife has a Honda Odyssey with the factory nav system and it works pretty well. At my age, I like the large touch screen instead of the compact units like the Garmin. Of course, the Garmin software can be updated more readily (and more cheaply) than the DVD based systems. But honestly, the availability of a nav system is not deal breaker for an '03 for me. If I could get a hefty discount on an '03 I would forget the nav system and just add an aftermarket system with DVD and screens for the kids.

Also, new colors are a non-issue. I'll get either pewter or black. Personally, I like yellow but the CEO doesn't. She thinks it screams "Look at me - I'm driving a Hummer!" I just think it looks sporty. Strangely, my 12 year old son doesn't care for yellow either. He wants black. I've accepted the fact that it won't be yellow.

Thanks to everyone who has responded. Haven't talleyed it up, but looks like the "Buy Now" crowd is in the lead.

I mentioned this before but it bears repeating keep an eye on gmbuypower.com you can get a general sense of dealer inventory off the site and right now it appears supply is outpacing demand and that is good for buyers.

Always keep in mind this is a 50K + big tonka toy with terrible mileage and NO OFFENSE to anyone who got an '03 H2 when they hit the dealer (becasue god knows I'm jealous)the novelty is wearing off and the market is only so big.

invoice on a new H2?? What package/options?? I may drive to NJ from MD for invoice.
