Just out of curiosity how much you guys would pay for H2. I mean how far would you be willing to go to get what you want? If nationwide MSRP was $80,000 would you buy H2? What if it was $100,000?
Just to give you an idea, the 2006 I'll be getting over here will be around $113,000 ($93,000 after tax deductions) plus $24,000 worth of aftermarket installs. I do feel like I'm f***ing nuts, but hey, all Fins are that way 
Just to give you some proportion, 2006 Corvette is going for some $125,000 over here right now...

When you take into consideration the cost of shipping the vehicle and import fees I would guess that you are pretty much paying the same for the actual vehicle as you would here. If all US vehicle cost more there, then it is just a fact of life. Would I pay $100K for an H2 here? Hell no. Now if I live somewhere else and that was the going rate for them, then maybe I would. Just my impression of it.

It's a lust buy no matter how you rationalize it. I say if you can afford it and want it, go for it. I think anyone would be stupid to finance a 50K plus vehicle (That screams they can't afford it) but if you can afford the cash (or there is a 0% finance arrangement) then JUST DO IT!!!

Yes, out of $113,000 taxes are about $21,000. But the total price includes $22,000 worth of stupid tests that have to be made, because H2 in not street legal in EU as it is.

you couldn't pay me to drive one those loose rattely ****boxes. seriously everything starts falling to **** at around 20k. you'll be pissed that you wasted your money when you see how cheap the craftsmanship is. and jeeps are no better. A Gelendawagen would be a more worthy purchase.

well Vermont Stomper, when i signed up here, the user agreement failed to mention anything about liking Hummers, as being a precursor to forum membership. Therefore, my board presence is a manifestation of deflecting hatred from myself, unto those deficient of hateful thoughts. Sort of like a disease or virus, only it takes the form of evil social tcp/ip interaction. The work of the devil if you will.

Being 2002TJ I can see why you're such a PITA. Is it the dispensing of legal advice without having actually passed the Bar(at that time) that's causing your anxiety which requires you to seek out any form of attention possible? Don't you get enough attention from JU/OTN? I would have thought you'd be serviced/servicing other members of your douche-filled boards on a regular basis.
I love using this stupid gif on you guys since you jack off to it on JU. |

Ok...I will not hold anything against you. I am only trying to understand where you are coming from. I didn't see anything about liking Hummer in the UA ether - rats 
I am not a huge fan of the yugo...yet I can't seem to find the time to run over to a yogo forum and talk smack about how it is a junker. But hey, run with what makes you happy - right?

Find a girlfriend, be nice to your wife, or go buy a f*cking TiVo system, but do something more productive with your time.
Think back to your childhood when you didn't get picked to play on any of the teams. It's the same way today. Go play four square with the girls. |
