Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

you can definitely find one. I guess it depends what your price range is. If it's too low, then obviously, you won't be able to "find one" in your budget.

it's there from autotrader to cars.com to eBay...to craigslist.


I'm sure what's limiting you is your budget...vs. your desire.

Some dealers still have some crazy prices up but there is a slim inventory on the 2008+ H2 Hummers (we just picked up an 08 this past weekend). You are going to need to spend approximately $45-55K for a 2008 depending on miles/color/options/condition. 2009's are $55-65K once again depending on the previously mentioned items. There is a dealer by me asking over $70K for a couple of used 2009's they have..... that is just insane. We paid $47K for our 2008 Solar Flare luxury edition with 30K miles, it has Navi, backup camera, rear entertainment, air suspension, third row, etc... (all availible options). I am very anal about my vehicles so I went over it with a fine tooth comb and its a very, very clean truck with no paintwork. This is also a Hummer certified pre-owned with 6yr/100K bumper-bumper warranty. We also got top end book value for our trade (2006 Luxury edition with every option except rear entertainment) so I feel really good about the deal we made, the H2 is technically my wifes car and she is happy (which in turn makes my life easier )

Be patient and find yourself the right vehicle, I have found its better to spend a few extra dollars and buy a nice car rather than troll the bottom of the price range for what your shopping for, you may have to attempt to negotiate a few deals but eventually you will find the right one. Nothing wrong with wanting to get a good deal but at the same time be realistic on what needs to be paid.

Best of luck on your search

Thanks for the information and your story matches what I am finding. Some optimistic sellers with prices higher than the range that you quoted. I have a lead on a black one with 37K miles, but am concerned that that is too many miles for a 2008 (actually the wife is concerned). I have not found any certified pre owned 2008s. Good pick up on that one.

I really wanted a truck with under 25K miles but we dont put very many miles on ours (less than 5K/year) so it wanst a huge concern..... I certainly would not have bought one with any more miles than we did. The fact that its under warranty for 6yr/100K is great piece of mind as well.

travel? no way- get it shipped on a truck.
1st- get a PPI done @ a Hummer dealership...that is if you can find one that offers that.

then, after it all checks out, you arrange transportation.

PPI? Private Party Inspection????

PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION

most dealers across the country will do this for a potential buyer...
you pay like $80~$120 for a Hummer mechanic to inspect the truck prior to you purchasing it.

it's definitely peace of mind especially when you buy without seeing the truck in person.

I did it & it was great!

And the limited numbers of 2008s.... . I want to be at 50K and there are plenty of 2008s above that number some way above. As far as I can tell there are not droves of Hummer buyers in the marketplace... I just need to be patient and have the ability to travel to the H2...
