This will be my third and final try to sell my H2 before leaving for the Bay Area at the end of Oct.  If nobody wants it for $10,500 (or a close offer), I'll just drive it out to the west coast towing my Honda Accord behind it, and put it for sale on the street once I get out there. I've seen an H2 with a flood/salvage title sell for $17,500 recently on eBay, and another one that it seemed to me wasn't as "desirable" as mine go for $12,500; so, from this and others that have recently sold, I must infer that I'm simply in the wrong area--probably nobody around here has the actual cash to buy the vehicle outright (except dealers, who've offered me up to $8500. for it, and of course then they'd turn it--and finance the vehicle, obviously, which I can't do--to somebody who would only look at the weekly, or bi-weekly, payments, and not the total amount they'd be paying for the vehicle in the end. Hell, I did the same thing when I bought it new: I financed it, because I couldn't afford a $59,600 vehicle outright. That's how everybody but the super-rich buy things in this (now) benighted country, isn't it? Ah well, if I start in on that I'll never get the car listed. . . . This is a good deal for somebody who actually has the cash to buy it outright; and if nobody does here in the vicinity of The TAW (that's Wichita to the non-cognoscenti--which group you've now joined by default by reading this missive, poor soul. . . .), well, as Popeye (or one of his minions) once said, "Them's the breaks, homes." Below is my original listing: nothing has changed since I first put it up on eBay last month.


I bought this H2 Hummer new in Feb. 2003, and have driven it continuously to date. The vehicle has been maintained by the dealership in Tucson, AZ, until last Dec., at which time I moved to Wichita, Kansas, which is where the vehicle is now. I "religiously" maintained the vehicle (you see, it's not a car, but I can't call it a "truck," either, at least in my own mind, so I'll continue to call it a "vehicle") at the Royal Automotive dealership in Tucson, having the oil changed every 3,000 miles, and, as recommended, everything changed every 30,000 miles. During its lifetime, the following has been done:
  at 118,000 miles, new AC compressor
new two-stage air compressor in 2006 (as I recall, when the original one started cycling continuously due probably to an internal short; the original air compressor was a one-stage
device; they went to a two-stage type compressor in 2005)
at 171,000 miles, completely rebuilt transmission
  radiator replaced in 2008
  both front hubs have been replaced
  both air-shocks have been replaced

  extras: Warn winch and Hummer luggage carrier; also truck shields (never used, still on original roll to be cut out so they will fit various places on the outside of the vehicle to prevent scratches while traveling off-road--which I have never done, by the way!)

Although the vehicle is "high mileage," practically all the miles are highway miles, and it is in very good shape.

What is "wrong" with it: two guages don't work (oil pressure and battery charging; the two least important ones, in my opinion, and the entire instrument panel has to be replaced at one fell swoop, so I've never done that; all the other guages have worked fine for the lifetime of the vehicle); the passenger side rear door window has to have the regulator replaced (this enrages me, because both rear-door window regulators are obviously of the "planned obsolescence" variety, and both have already been replaced, once, now I have to replace the passenger side one again; the front windows, which do get put up and down frequently, have never failed, so, to me, anyway, this is obviously just another MBA-corporate-asshole-planned made-to-fail-to-get-the-customer-to-bring-the-vehicle-back-into-the-dealership thingys, which frankly, I've had more than enough of in my 63 years on this planet--how about you?), which I will probably do myself before the vehicle is sold; the final thing is that only part of the six-way seat switch functions (movement front to back is okay, and so is putting the back of the seat at different angles, as is the "lumbar thingy" for the small of your back, but the seat will not move up and down vertically at present--I may fix this, too, before selling the vehicle). 
All in all, this is a solid, driving vehicle that I don't think anything major will go wrong on again, as I've fixed pretty much everything that could go wrong over the years; the tires are good (two are practically new, purchased in 2012), the AC blows cold, the CD with 9-speaker Bose system is the best stereo I've ever owned, etc.
Call me for more particulars.

Hummers are for Horses: Artist reimagines the monsterous SUV [w/video]

Thu, 25 Mar 2010

Horse-drawn Hummer H2 - Click above to view the video after the jump
When the internal combustion engine finally helped the automobile pass the horse-drawn carriage as the chosen method of transportation for a majority of citizens in the United States, that a step in the right direction. Right? Moving forward about a hundred years... when the behemoth Sport Utility Vehicle that never actually seems to venture off the beaten path passed the minivan in the hearts and minds of families across the country as the people-mover of choice, was that a step in the right direction?
If you answered no to either of the above questions, perhaps you'll enjoy the video pasted after the break. Created by artist Jeremy Dean (read about our initial post on the project here), the converted Hummer H2 is called Futurama and is pulled by two white horses named, appropriately enough, Duke and Diesel. Hummers are for horses? See for yourself.

Turn Out the Lights: Final Hummer H3 rolls off the line... for Avis

Tue, 25 May 2010

2010 Hummer H3 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Would the last one out the door please switch off the lights? The long strange trip that has been the Hummer brand is just about over for General Motors. The final ever production H3 rolled out of GM's Shreveport, Louisiana factory on Monday May 24, 2010 on its way to an Avis rental car outlet. As you may recall, GM had actually stopped assembling H3s in mid-2009 as it went through bankruptcy, but it resumed production recently in order to fill an 849 unit special order.
GM tried to sell the Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd but the deal ultimately fell apart last February. A subsequent offer from Raser Technologies also went nowhere. Now that production has ceased, 200 of the 900 remaining employees at Shreveport will be laid off by July and the rest of the Hummer staff back at headquarters in Detroit is either leaving or being reassigned.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
