So, how much can I expect?

[yzergod]

Considering selling my H3. Now, before you get all on me... it would be so I can buy an '07 with the upgraded engine.

Here's what I have:
2006 with Lux & Adventure package
10500 on the odometer
6 disc w/ Monsoon (no XM)
Headrest DVDs
Husky Liners
Mudflaps
Chrome package
Grill Guard
Chrome Nerf Steps
Sunroof

Sticker was about $41,500.

How much do you think I can honestly ask for it and get if I try and sell it in the newspaper? BTW, the nearest Hummer dealer is 180 miles. Good in that H3's are rare around here just like Mercedes, BMW,Lexus and all the other luxury brands, so I should be able to sell it pretty easily. Bad in that it is a long drive for service, which might deture people.
TIA!

OK, so your KBB doesn't list the H3 and Edmunds says it is worth $30,417 Trade-In, $32,451 Private Party, and $34,918 Retail. So that is no help.

Unfortunately those figures could be very accurate, not sure though

How is that no help? What part of that is stumping you?

The sticker on my H3 was over $41k. Edmunds says I can get $32k for it? I was hoping that somebody here who has some experience selling their 06 H3 would tell me they got a better price, or perhaps a dealer would let me know what they're giving for them.

So, none of it is stumping me. Your links were of no help because I don't they reflect true market value.

They reflect the market value on what a DEALER will give you for it trade in--they cant give you 36 for it as they would make no money on it re-sale. They can sell it for around 32-36 becuase they can offer financing etc. right there to an potential customer, where as you cant, hence the reasont eh value is lower for private party. 41K sticker--I doubt you paid sticker--honestly, the truck GMS price is around 36K new, so dont expect to get even close to this. The minute you drive it off the lot, expect a depreciation anywhere from 13 to 26%, regardless--its just a fact of life in buying a new vehicle.

Best thing is to either list it yourself somewhere and hope for the best, keep it, or eat the loss and move on.

You can get a Brand new H# stickering at 41K for 35-36 K after the rebate, so why would anyone want a used one for that much??

why not take off the bolt ons and use them on the next one?

I can get u a GMID# and let u buy it for a grand +/- less than invoice.

let me know.

no rebates on 07s right now, $500 off 06 and 0% for 60 months or $2500 off.

I looking at 06 and 07 right now but I buy for GMS price.

Kinda sounds worth it. I wish I'd got a sunroof and leather. Would it be worth it to pull my accessories, and trade up? God knows my payments should go down.

Sounds like you're gonna be in for a surprise.

[yzergod]

Well, thanks for you input guys.

I am not looking to trade it in and as I stated in my original post, would try and sell it through the newspaper. I'd keep the bolt ons as well. Of course, I didn't pay sticker, but most people are not up on what discounts you can score on them. Living in a Colorado Ski town, there are many people with $$$ that don't care to drive 3 1/2 hours to find a dealer... so I might just get lucky with a higher asking price.

Again, thanks for your help.

[aggiehummer...er]

Sounds like a $27000 H3, that's what I'd give you trade-in.

Very true. Good luck

we got 34K for ours when we sold it 6 months ago. less miles than yours though. Same options. more aftermarket stuff though. IMO, I bet you would be hard pressed to see 30K with the incentives going on.

Since you would be buying a new one: tell your dealer you need a price to sell it so you can buy a new one from him/her. Once it sells, you'll buy a new one. tell them up front no trade/ no chance. that should get your true number.

[DURAMAX TIM]

While looking for an H3 the dealer had 2 used lux,offroad H3s and I priced them.
one had 16,000 miles.
They wanted more than I have to pay and it didn't get 0% financing.

Agreed, selling year old vehicles is a great way to pi** away good money.

[DaddyKiwi]

I bought mine for $50 over the GMS price and would not even get close to that on trade!

FIXED

30 k auction, and your already too late, dealer has funny money and you will take a 7-9k bath so lather up man. Keep it, 07 is not all that

Well, if I sold it for $33500, I'd be breaking even. If I yanked the dvd,s, nerfs, and brush guard, I could settle for $31k. One plus is mine is paid off so if I got close on a 2007, I'd be happy. But, after all of your depressing replies, I think I'd be better off keeping it and putting what I'd stand to lose into upgrades.

Roof rack is in the works now, and a set of 35" tires are next. And I really want something to break up the "armored car" look of the gray. Maybe some graphics or a stripe, or paint the lower half a darker gray metallic. Hmmm...

Thanks for everybodies input!
