Sold the Hummer today

[Romanzz]

Decided to sell the Hummer a few weeks ago and just completed the sale today.

Was bittersweet as I loved every minute of owning and customizing it, but selling it for close to the same price I paid for it 4 years ago made it much easier.

Was anyone else surprised at how much they hold their value when reselling?

Bought in 2011 with 32k miles for $28k and sold it today with 69k miles for $24.5k

2008 Hummer H3 Alpha H3X

The Alphas seem to be in demand due to scarcity and capabilities, thus commanding strong resale prices.

Good price on the sale.

What are you getting instead of it?

What are you getting instead of it?

A complete 180...my needs have changed since buying the H3 4 years ago, I commute 55 miles round trip for work and like to go up to the mountains often.

I ordered a 2016 Audi Q5 TDI S-line for the 430 lb/ft of torque and 35MPG. Getting delivered in 3 months so I figured it was time to sell the Hummer.

Sounds like you got a very much nice new ride. Congrats but always sad to see a forum member sell their rig.

Thanks brother! Was a tough decision, I planned on keeping the H3 forever but things changed. This forum is great, awesome members and everyone genuinely wants to help each other.

:HOLY:Say it ain't so!!!!!!

It was a awesome rig. But I'm sure you will enjoy Q5 its looks very comfortable.

Wow, you got a great price for that rig!


Just out of curiosity, was it a local sale or did someone out of state end up buying it? I know back when I found my H3 (which was out of state) the place selling it said they had people from all over the country wanting it. I basically put down money sight unseen, and then traveled several states away that weekend to go get it.

It was awesome, thanks to a lot of help from you! I appreciate the help you gave me to make it look like it did...another example of how awesome this forum is.

Can't wait for the Q5 to get here, once I got behind the wheel of that Diesel engine and that torque, it was a no brainer. I'll post a pic once it's delivered.

It was out of state, I had two offers and both buyers were out of state...ironically enough both offers were from women! I thought this would definitely sell to a man haha.

I ended up selling it to a lady from Arizona. Her fiancée flew out to pick it up today and he will be driving it back Friday. The other buyer was offering slightly more money and to buy it sight unseen, but the person I sold it to had already paid for an independent inspection, so I wanted to be fair and sold it to her.

Denver location & FIB plates!! that's a sweet looking rig man, I WISH I got that from mine!! I got about 1/2 of that from mine, but I did beat the heck out of it for a couple years, so that's my own fault!

Wave when you drive by my place in the way up the hill in the new rig
