Good price?

[SSH]

Hi everyone.

We're seriously considering purchasing a Slate Blue H3, but I don't know how good the deal is. I hope this is an OK thing to post here.

We're getting the base with auto, sunroof, XM, black sidesteps, and the trailer pkg.

The dealer is giving us "GM SUPPLIER FOR FRIENDS PRICING" at $31,550.

He said that we couldn't use our GM card savings (somewhere from $250 to $555) with the pricing. Is that true?

We got the $950 "sunroof" rebate and 0%. Should we be getting any other rebates - conquest cash?

The dealer offers the extended maintenance plan at $860 to 4yr/60k... is that a fairly comparable price ?

Thanks for your input.

That doesn't sound right. I would think it would be closer to $28-29k. I'm not sure why they would just give you the GMS discount. They are required to show you the invoice or the breakdown with that discount... so make sure you get it or they are just messing with you.

As for maintenance plans... I don't really think you need them. For some reason my H3 with maintenance plan cost more to get an oil change than my H2 with no maintenance plan.

I paid 23,700 for a base stick,I like it.

Yeah - I agree, that sounds pretty high. Should be more in the $29K range.
Good luck with the purchase!

Thanks for your input.

Base 07 H-3 w/FREE sunroof, auto tranny, XM System, FLAT Black Steps (tube steps are higher price) & Trailer Pkg (w/o adapter) including destination chgs

now that does not include tax, title, tag, miltary discount, any other discount except free sunroof or if your dealer is part of a advertising coop (additional)

yea guys tax is like $5k. anywho, from the research i did when i bought my h3, you should get yours well under the sticker price. try more than 1 dealer. Some are "friendlier" than others. Hell I tried 18 dealers. Georgia-4,SC-1,NC-2,MD-1,NY-5,NJ-5....and then back to SC, where i ultimatly settled!

[ChiHummer3]

I assumed we were talking about a price pre-tax. :shhh:

The rebate comes off later in the deal, post-taxes. So our price including the rebate is $30,600. It's the tubular black side steps, and the trailer pkg is about $390, so I think it includes the adapter. So I guess the price isn't too terrible...

I assumed we were talking about a price pre-tax. :shhh:
Yep, I'm not counting tax, tag, docs, licensure, etc.


Thank so much for all for your help. Does anyone know if you can use GM card points with supplier pricing?

Not right, with GM Supplier you get all incentives. If you choose 0% you loose the rebate. You get any conquest etc. Ask to see the invoice and for them to show you the GM Supplier line on it.

[ChiHummer3]

It's the tubular black side steps, and the trailer pkg is about $390, so I think it includes the adapter.

FYI - the $390 will get you the trailer harness and hitch only....if you want the adapter and hitch cover, etc you have to get the "trailering convenience package" and that will run you an additional $109.50 (invoice) or $150.00 (MSRP).

From what I figured, with what you had listed - base, auto, sunroof, XM, steps, trailer - with TUBULAR steps and the "free" sunroof, the invoice price would be $30149.55......if you want the trailer adapter your grand total comes to $30259.05 (invoice).

[ChiHummer3]

I made the mistake of assuming the adapter came with in the $390 trailering package. Silly me! :shhh:

Had to go track down an adapter after the fact. Incidentally - I think the adapter only ran me like $30 or so (online)......so if you don't need the 12v power outlet and hitch cover - save you money on that "convenience package" from the dealership. I didn't need the power outlet and thought the rubber hitch cover was kind of ghey anyway. Got myself a nice billet H3 cover off of eBay for around $30.

Mine turned out 33, and i have the yellow marker lamps, but were installed after. and i havet he side steps, roof racks, and brush guard and auto, but i got mine back in december so it had different deals and stuff going on then.

[Agriv8r]

ok, so the real deal taken from a real invoice is 33950 includiong destination charges for the options you listed...this is the msrp...supplier price would be around 31359.62 with 950 in rebates...another grand in conquest if you have some other type of vehicle in your inventory...then tax tilte and other stuff....that is real....

[Agriv8r]

check the conquest money for your area. but sounds like they are being fair and yes that is a good deal......

sunroofs cost $817 invoice and $950 retail.....where do you guys get this free sunroof thing from....very claer on the invoice what the price is....also the supplier price (depending on advertising) is below invoice so why would you offer more if they are giving you a supplier discount....

There is a special running currently that if there's a sunroof on the vehicle YOU GET IT FOR FREE!

Your own post yesterday said the supplier price would be $31359.62....so how do you figure that is lower than invoice??? :confused:

[HUMMJAY]

the $950 is just a rebate,, you get it regardles,,, sunroof, no-sunroof, you still get the $950

[ChiHummer3]

Exactly!

This guy wants a sunroof......the car he's looking at has a sunroof......so it's free........thus the "sunroof special" they're runnning.
:D

because I am looking at the invoice!!!

[Agriv8r]

31359 is the supplier price, not the invoice price...

[ChiHummer3]

because I am looking at the invoice!!!


Ok.......now you've lost me. You said in a previous post that the supplier price is lower than invoice.....yet you've stated that supplier price is $31359.62. I looked up invoice and it comes to $30259.05. What is the price on the invoice YOU ARE LOOKING AT??

What am I missing here? :confused:

I guess it really doesn't matter - I've got my car already. :D

[Agriv8r]

31811.15

[Agriv8r]

read the part where it says "depending on advertising"...some dealerships have advertising added to the invoice (2%) some dont, and some have 1%......

[ChiHummer3]

Even at 2% added on to the $30259.05.....it still doesn't come to $31811.15.

:confused:

[ChiHummer3]

And who the hell agrees to pay THEIR advertising costs?? They'd have to sweeten the deal a bit more before I'd do that.

Just my $.02

[Agriv8r]

Even at 2% added on to the $30259.05.....it still doesn't come to $31811.15.

dont know what 30259.05 is, but your right those figures dont add up...good job

[ChiHummer3]

30259.05 was what I figured invoice should be - with that "free" $950 sunroof, of course. ;)

[ChiHummer3]

I give up trying to figure it out. What's a few hundred $$$ in one direction or the other to own a great vehicle.

in the end, he got a good deal:jump:

Agreed! Good deal....great truck......it doesn't get any better!

[SSH]

We really appreciate your help and input.

We made the mistake of freaking when our current insurance company told us that the rate would be some 2.5x what it is now to add the H3. The dealer had said there would be no difference in price, so we were shocked. Things were happening fast, so we backed out for a bit.

We've now called other insurance companies that aren't Hummer Haters and the rate will be fine :yawn:

The vehicle hasn't arrived at the dealership yet, so we should still be able to get back into it since the price seems fair...

Thanks again.

[Agriv8r]

remember the pics and congrats....

Went by today - the H3 is on a truck, but it didn't arrive today. The dealer gave us the (advertised) discount on the service plan, but the salesman said you couldn't do Conquest Cash on supplier pricing ? I've seen plenty of people posting that they had GMS, but got Conquest as well. Anyone know if he's BSing us?

base rigs rock too
Thanks - hope so! :)

We still really want those heated, leather seats, but couldn't get past paying for the 6CD, Monsoon, etc. Plus, all the H3s with leather at our dealership are all chromed up to $39k or so. It was hard to say the leather was worth $5k.

Thanks again for all your help! Pics will come...

I purchased my H3 last week (5/29) and I got the GM Supplier Price along with the $950 "free sunroof", the $1,000 Conquest rebate and the 0%. But do make sure the dealer shows you the invoice that has the invoice price on it. The salesman that I was dealing with tried to pull one over on me and give the wrong invoice price - almost walked out at that point.

[usetosellhummer]

It's a new month maybe it changed for June

True, I do remember my salesman saying that the Conquest rebate expired at the end of May.

Alright, it's finally coming to fruition!

The truck finally showed up, and we're picking it up Saturday AM, for real this time!

Time to start thinking about my accessory list... :clapping:

why so long to pick it up??? your decision or theirs??? should be only a natter of hours after it hits the pavement....

Well it came in yesterday afternoon, we felt like it would be rushing it for yesterday evening. Then we decided that since we're so busy during the week it would be more fun to get it Saturday AM.

So while we're waiting - is it really that easy to put on the underbody protection ladders? We're thinking about doing that ourselves soon.

What about the roof marker lights? Is it worth paying the dealer to install?

Thanks.

[Agriv8r]

sorry for the delay, the underbody stuff is done before shipping..the roof lights, definately let the dealer do it. if they do it, any leaks or faults will be covered by the warranty...

[SSH]

Again, thanks for all of your help, guys.

It's here and we love it! :clapping:
