New Hummer came home tonight

[HumbleAg]

Hello all.

Well, Superior Blue is out, Imperial (Midnight?) Blue is in.

Traded the '06 with 39k miles for a shiny new '07 with 472 miles.

Almost went for non-Adventure, but kept looking and found an Adventure package. A bit of bling (chrome wheels, mirrors, handles, side steps), but it doesn't look too bad.

Too dark outside for pictures, will post some later.

Any specific reason for getting rid of your '06, or was it just time for something new?

Congrats on the new rig!:beerchug:

Thanks all for the congrats. No pics yet, but they'll come soon.

To answer questions:

ChiHummer3: original H3 was a smart buy deal for two years (I did that because I had to pay MSRP (35k) and I was a bit worried about resale value). Looking back, I wish I'd purchased outright because I like the Superior Blue, but it didn't make sense to buy it now with the incentives on new ones. New one is financed 3 years at 0%, it'll be all mine.

TANDREW: "real" trade-in value came out to $23k. They showed more ($24k) on the buyer's order, but didn't show discounting their truck as much as they actually did. Got the same offer on a non-adventure truck on Saturday ($23k trade in) from another dealer. Smart-buy payoff was over $25k, but with the tax savings it came out pretty good.

My "old" truck was basically perfect, the used car manager asked how I put 39k miles on it without ever driving it. I suppose that won't get too much appreciation here (I know how you guys like damage), but I'm a bit picky about my vehicles.


I think I forgot to mention the new one has the sunroof, wow what a great feature!

Congrats on new rig. Let us know about your view on how the 3.7L vs. 3.5L compares.

Hay that is what I bought the ADV with a roof. I gus I won the lotto, got 25,500 for my 06 with 15k on it. Base model.
