Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.

Now- I wouldn't have a problem with this as I've already picked out the new H3 that I wanted from the dealer. However I'm being told by the repurchase dept. that I only will receive in credit the amount that I still currently owe on my current H3. IE: If I owe $20k then I only get $20k towards a new H3. Bull**** if you ask me. I paid over $37k for my 3 and am getting no where remotely close to that figure. PLUS they expect me to pay them 10 cents per mile for 18k miles. My 3 currently has 32k miles on it. GM figures that it ran good for 18k miles so that's the mileage they're using to figure out how much I should pay them for "using" the vehicle.

How is this even considered fair? I've barely had the damn thing for a year. I expressed my concerns to GM and they said that if I want a straight re-purchase- they're gonna charge me 30 cents per mile for the full 32k miles that's on the vehicle. This is bull****

Wow! That sucks! I'd biotch and whine to anyone at Hummer who will listen. Don't back down!!!
Good luck!

GM doesn't seem to wanna budge on their end. I figure I'll just take them to court and see where it goes from there. In the meantime- I'm trying to pick out a different vehicle. I hate car shopping.

wtf? This is terrible. And GM has a repurchase department? What difference should your loan balance make, other than to see that the lien is cleared to they can take ownership. What happens to the saps that don't have a loan balance, like me?

I think it's a load of crap. I'm very attached to my H3 and I want another one really bad but how is it fair that I trade in a fully loaded H3 for another fully loaded H3 and have to pay right around $10k to do it? It makes absolutely no sense. That means that I will have paid $10k on something that I don't even have. Not to mention the "usage" charge on the h3 I currently have. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. And just for clairification- I know I have it right because I asked the re-purchase rep assigned to my case about 50 times just to make sure I understood and he said you have it correct.
