Sale price on 2003 H2

[MMPH2]

Okay...I've been looking at getting an H2 this summer. I want to get a Lux package 2004 w/Navi.

However, I've recently came across a local dealership that is selling a 2003 Lux package H2 for $47,500. This H2 has 2,500 miles. What do you think of that price? Should I go for it, or pay roughly $56k for an `04 w/Navi and no miles?

Thanks for any input you have...basically, what would you do?

[MMPH2]

KBB for the Jeep is $14,125. That value - $42k = $27,875.

They rejected my offer twice for $29k + Jeep, but have agreed to take $30k + Jeep. Remember, in their minds the "value" of the H2 is $47,500.

I look at it 2 ways:

To take my $30k, they're either giving me $17,500 on trade for the Jeep and I'm "paying" $47,500 for the H2.

Or, they're giving me $14,125 for the Jeep (KBB trade in value) and they're selling the H2 for $44,125. I don't think that's a bad price to pay for an `03 Lux/air ride/brush guard/1900 mile H2. MSRP on window sticker was $54,510.

Again, have not agreed to pay $30k yet. I'm making them "sweat" a little over the Christmas holiday.

There comes a time one just have to give the brain a rest and throw away the calcualtor. You got a reasonable deal, you feel comfortable, you get rid of the old ride, you will be driving something you will not believe how wonderful it is until you own it, you will be the top dog, you will be in hog heaven. Stop thinking and counting, follow your heart. Do it now before the deal slips away or you change your mind.

You can be riding the dragon today, instead of shopping for a better deal for weeks.

MMPH2,

No I don't think that $41 or $42 is too low to offer. Honestly I don't think I would pay more than $42 for it anyway. I think I would walk. I only can say this now because of what I paid for mine brand new. Prior to buying mine I may have went for a little more. Knowing what I know now, $42 tops. You have to remember as far as the dealer is concerned, that vehicle has 2 things going against it, its an 03 and it has miles on it. As long as that sits on their lot, its eating up space that a new 04 could take up. Another thing I have found lately is sometimes there are better deals to be made on brand new vehicles than used ones at the dealers. It seems they have "less room to play with" on used vehicles.
And finally my dealer is selling all 04's for $3,000.00 off the sticker. Everyone gets that just for walking in the door. Wouldn't you rather pay $53,000.00 for a $56,000.00 new vehicle than $47,500.00 for a $41,000.00 used vehicle?

MMPH2,

Now your learning! Look how much smarter you have become in the last two days. You went from being a "test driving, ready to pay full price dish rag" to a "cash wheeling, one ultimatum, car buying shark". I like the change.

So now were looking at $14,125.00 + $29,000.00= $43,125.00 (ALL IN). So if you subtract the tax and tags from this it puts you right in the neighborhood of $41-$42 where we said you needed to be. When you go in there drop the 29K, keys and title on his desk and tell him "ALL IN". I'd be very surprised if they let you walk. Good Luck and let us know how you make out.

Spike, if I can ask, where did you get $3k off sticker for an '04?

I want to try to negotiate a deal and I'm thinking they may want to book a sale before year end. The dealership here doesn't do a big volume business, though, so I don't think it will be easy to get them to move -- at least until they've been sitting on the lot for a few months. Fortunately, I'm not in any hurry.

Thanks.

I'd take that deal. Not knowing all the particulars of your Jeep. Still has to put you in good shape and you'll be driving what you want. No matter what you pay, you'll have some buyer's remorse, just do it. Sounds fair. Retail for retail, 52 and change minus 22 to net you out at 30. Sounds pretty good to me. If they make a little that's good to.

I paid less for my 03 brand new lux with air ride, and front and rear brush guards. If you are interested in it I would try to beat them down on that price. Maybe somewhere around $41 or $42.

[MMPH2]

Okay...found out that the H2 has only 1800 miles. It's a Lux package with brush guard...no sunroof.

Anyway, I asked them to take $43k, and they said they couldn't do it. They paid $47,500 for it 2 months ago. I think they bought it from HUMMER to help get rid of any `03 stock.
So, I came back with $45k...and they are going to think about it.

So, given that it's a `03 Lux package with a brush guard, no sunroof and only 1800 miles...what do you think?

[MMPH2]

NOC: I was at the Cleveland Auto Show In Motion this summer and all their H2's were 2004's. So I'm pretty sure this was not one of them. But thanks for the mentioning it...I'll ask them anyways.

10 MPG: This H2 doesn't have a sunroof, but it has everything else you have. I'll definatley try and get them down to $46k (doesn't hurt to ask)

SPIKE: Do you really think that I can ask them for $41k or $42k. Is that # too low for this vehicle? I don't want them to laugh me right out of their dealership.

Thanks for the input all!

Sounds ok but is it being sold as new or used?
Ask if it is and if it is a pep vehicle?
I can do better on 5k miles for 44 new.

[MMPH2]

I am currently looking into other deals. One deal is with Lynch Hummer in St. Louis. The other is with Detroit Hummer.

I am going to make this local dealer contact me if they want a to sell it. And if they do...I'm going back down to my original offer of $30k + Jeep. Since they tried to "stick me", I'm going to stick it back to them and lower my offer.

I'll find the right deal, Lynch is really offering me some good deals (on both an '03 & '04)

[NCHummerman]

Another tactic may be to go back to the dealer with a check already made out for the total amount you are willing to pay including all taxes, license fees, etc ... and say that this is the total amount that you are willing to pay and then ask for the keys ... I just used this tactic to purchase a Saturn for my Daughter.

Keep in mind that you could get a GM IN THE DRIVEWAY COUPON and get that vehicle before ttl for $48,449 plus, if you buy it in the Southeast quadrant of the US, HUMMER is offering an additional $4K in rebates bringing the price down to $44,449. Therefore, you be the judge if it is a good deal or not...

I'll report back on Friday AM and let you know what I did. Now get back to your families...it's fricken Christmas!!!

[NCHummerman]

MMPH2 ---- I recommend that if you are ready to buy on the spot, offer $41,000 or $42,000 ---- to quote a very famous person, my Mother, "If you don't ask, you don't get!". It does not cost anything to make an offer .... anyway, if you low ball them, at least you will have established a "spread" in dollars for the dealer to work with, and if you buy it, the chances are that you will be paying less than if you offered $46,000.00 ... Good Luck and let us know what happens ...

GM of the dealership drove it. The dealership selling the `03 is a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep dealer. I guess the GM wanted to drive a "real" SUV for a while.
