H3 purchase with GMID

[H3ProspectKy]

Congrats Gary. I tried to use my GMID at Bachman in Louisville and the Finance Director said "no way, we don't accept those". I wasn't up for arguing to try to spend my $39,000, so I got my $1000 deposit back and have ordered my Boulder Grey Lux from Lynch Hummer in St. Louis (about 300 miles). Lynch has been great, Mr. Lynch himself even emailed me saying, to look him up when I arrive and he'll take us out on the trails out back. Good luck and enjoy your new ride.

When did Bachman tell you no? It was just about 2 wks ago that they agreed to take mine. ..but St. Louis isn't far when you are saving $$$. Enjoy your H3.

They told me no on 06/27, other than that they were great, nice people, especially the salesman, Paul Taylor. I felt bad for him, so sent him a thank you with $50 in it. I ordered my H3 the next day, on 06/28 with Lynch Hummer.

Okay, here's my deal using GMID at LYNCH HUMMER (picking up my new ride on Thurs, 08/18).....H3 Boulder Grey/Ebony Leather/Lux Series/Auto Tran/Sunroof/Chrome Appear/Chrome Wheels/Chrome Tubular Steps/XM Satellite Radio/Roof Marker Lights

MSRP...$38,280.00
GMID... - 3,428.26
TOTAL..$34,851.74

Besides the great price, I have had the pleasure of dealing with the professional and accomodating staff of Lynch (who actually return your calls and follow through with requests...who knew???). I have read about a lot of bad experiences with dealerships, you WON'T find that @ Lynch, definitely worth the trip. I couldn't be happier!

Was this a "long distance" purchase or do you live in Missouri.

Congratulations and good luck!

Thanks, I live & work in NYC and have a home in Prospect(Louisville) which is where I'm going to keep the H3. Flying from NYC to St. Louis, driving 300 miles to Prospect and play for a few days, then fly back to New York.

As a footnote, using the GMID at Lynch was painless, I didn't have to explain what it was, beg, or plead for them to honor it. I just told them that I was interested in purchasing an H3 and asked if they accept the GMID and the answer was simply, "yes we do". So I proceeded to place my order and my H3 was delivered to the dealership in 5 1/2 weeks (with the 2 week vacation shutdown during that period). It was really quick and definitely worth the $3600+ that I saved (incl. the 6% in tax). I have worked mainly with Dale, but when he was off, Howard was able to take care of me. Since they are salaried and not commission, they all work together (hmmm...what a concept). I have to say it has been the easiest and most pleasant buying experience I've EVER had, by far.
