Hummer has an incredible deal on 2005 Hummer H2s right now until the end of the month.
$599 lease (+tax) for 36 months, 36,000 miles, through GMAC. $1275 due at signing. Applies to Hummer H2, with Luxury package. I ran the numbers and this is what it basically comes down to... Sticker is$56,900... Car comes down to about $2.5K less than invoice after rebates (about $49K) 60% residual value (which is really phenomenal) Money factor equivalent to 3.9% With the money you save, you can spend on GAS!!!! |

I test drove an H2 earlier this year; it has NO HEADROOM...NONE, and I'm only 6'1"!!! I was thinking about buying one but it's a lot like driving my '99, 3/4 ton, 4X4 Suburban only without the headroom or the big block (454)! I do believe that GM now owns the Hummer brand so they can call them whatever they want. They have been supplying the engines/trannies since the beginning so in essence, they were Chevies from birth! Wait 'til the new "Alpha" versions of the H1 and H2 hit the streets; this new H1 will finally be powered by the Duramax diesel and Allison transmission! Not sure what's in store for the H2; if it was up to me...the 8.1 (496 cu. in.) big block would be under the hood (the front half of the H2's frame comes from a 3/4 ton pick-up so the 8.1 should/would bolt right in). Small block/"Mouse motors" are nice but once you get used to the torque of a big block/"Rat motor", nothing else will do (Whipple Superchargers claims their blower/intercooler kit will produce over 800 ft.lbs. when installed on an 8.1)!!! Personally, I'm thinking of a 3/4 ton, 4X4 Avalanche. Yeah, it's ugly...but I'm thinking of the beauty (8.1) under the hood...then I could dream of a trip to Fresno (Whipple).
