Will Hummers become valuable classics?

[Ken Bowers]

I have an orange 2003 Hummer H2. Heated grey leather seats. Mounted rear spare tire, brush guard. 100K miles. Man, what a truck it is.

Do you think these Hummers will become valuable?

I think that's a question only time will tell, most vehicles that are considered classic are made of good materials, and are much simpler (less components) which means it's a lot easier to restore ground up.
I could go on and on and on here.
another thing is miles, the most valuable classics are those with low miles.

I've made the decision to enjoy my truck

Judging what's going to be a classic is a crap shoot. Just ask those who plunked down huge amounts of money for the 1990 - 1995 ZR1s when they were new. Also, to be a true classic you need low production numbers and there are just too many H2s out there, so like others have said enjoy it! Low productions numbers is no guarantee either, because one prominent magazine dubbed the very limited production Isuzu Vehicross as the first 4 x 4 classic a few years ago, and now you can buy then for a song. I had one and thoroughly enjoyed it, but you couldn't haul anything inside and it had the stiffest ride of any vehicle I've ever been in and that includes an empty one ton pickup, but it was fun and fast offroad. One thing of interest is that H2s have been holding their resale value very well over the last two years.

I think they will. I dont give a crap if they do but the are singular vehicles. Nothing compares. You see fewer and fewer on the roads than you used to and the jeep is the only kind of similar vehicle. I mean come on. Even though the price of a jeep is shooting up, it's still a little juvenile. Id have one because the have a purpose but when I see an old man driving one its like seeing an old lady driving a cabriolet. The vette compares with a s ton of sports cars. The h2 competes with...jack sh#@!

I really don't care if they become classics or not. There's nothing out there I like as much as my H2. Up here the H2s are holding their value and actually going up in price in the used car market. I was contemplating a low mileage 2009 to replace mine that I saw in Orlando, however, when I got home and decided I wanted it, it was sold. Good low mileage ones go fast. My plans for now are just to keep maintaining mine, even if it means ultimately reengining and a new tranny or transfer case someday. I'm at 127,000 miles on mine, just had the front seats recovered, and it's running strong.

Like the '57 Chevy I believe H2's will become a classic in 30-40 years. But not the orange ones. Especially the ones with gray seats.

[H2005]

Dont forget about the ones with the Mounted rear spare tire, brush guard. 100K miles. They wont be classics either.

My Hummer's better than your Hummer!

How can you tell mine is in the dark

Personally.....not just because I own a 72k mileaged 2005 Pewter SUT w/ Adventure & LUX Pkgs, I think SUT's will be in higher demand as time goes by. The truck is lighter and has a more BADASS look. And with Air-suspension "ON" has a KILLER cruisin' stance. I had a 11 year old kid walk clear across a parking lot with his mother to take a look at my truck. His mother told me he was in awe of my HUMMER and just wanted to check it out. Keep in mind all of the young ones who think the trucks are BADASS and also most likely be looking for them 10-15 years from now. Also STOCK with all possible OEM options would also make it more valuable, can you imagine trying to find a Tonneau cover in working order and good condition 5-10 years from now?
