California HUMMER Car Dealers

I was quoted $480.66 + Tax For 36 months lease. 2008 H3x, $45,145.00 MSRP, $5000.00 drive off. I've spent hours on the net but I still can't fifure out if this deal is OK. When the salesman asked me what I wanted to put down I said $5000 drive off thinking this would lower the payment. But is this a good idea? Thanks. Steve

Congratulations on the new Hummer. I'd love to hear from new buyers: how do you like it, how is the gas mileage in heavy city traffic, how is the drive on city streets and on the highway. It would help to include the name of your other car, obviously someone driving a Cadillac might find the Hummer too harsh, while coming from a small truck the new Hummer must be truly comfortable.

Here in Orange County, (Los Angeles area) H3s are advertised for $ 299 a month with $ 2999 down, and if you want the luxury package it is $ 360 a month, same down payment. I think it was a 39 month lease. These are for the manual transm. model, automatics might be a bit higher.

Thanks my friend. What was the MSRP, the residual they gave you and the state you live in? Only one dealer where I live in Vegas, the other is about 120 miles away in CA, not so far, but looking for some leverage to negotiate a dealer here in Vegas. It's a bit of a monoploy. Thanks. GT

I just came from Cerritos Hummer a few hours ago. This is the quote I got. 06 Hummer H3 Base MSRP: 31745 $4,000 incentive - 27745 MOney Factor they said it was a standard 6.75% = .000281 residual $20345 or 64% quoted me with $393.62+tax with $800 drive off fees.Includes 1st months payment. Can I get a better deal? Can I have them roll the $800 into the deal. Are all the numbers right? I inputed the numbers into the lease calculator of leaseguide.com and came up with 340.86 a month with tax. Help Ca_man or anybody please =)
