Default Should I trade in my H2 for a XB !?

I should never trade anything into a dealer, I know. But I really want to get a XB

I went to the dealer and checked out the XB and loved all the room and the gas mileage, mods etc. He said they would cut me a check for the difference and I wouldn't have to hassle with trying to sell it. He also went on saying they just had a HUMMER trade in and everybody was happy.

Does anyone have any experiences with there trade in on a XB ? Did you get about what you wanted ?

Thanks!

i would debadge the H2 on the Hummer and maybe find some mini cooper badges
and trade in the hummer for the xb and when you get the xb debadge it and put "mini H2" where the the xB badge was

Yes you should trade the Hummer in for an Xb. The "cool" co-efficient is much higher in my opinion. but then again I may be biased.

I had another question. Does the dealer install most of the mods ? And do they install the suspension package to make it lower ?

Thanks

Suggest you get the car stock and customize it yourself as you get acquanted with the car and wiht Scionlife. It'll be much more fun.

There are lots of options for lowering your car. Lots of options for everything.

have fun!

Dump the H2. It's probably the most useless truck on the road.

Oh god yes.

Use all that money you save on gas and payments to make the xB ultra sweet.

as a person who drives an H1 for work, and laughing at people that
A: buy the most worthless trucks on the road
B: Pay for said worthless truck, and it's gas bill
and
C: think that buying one was a good idea, due to the cost, and utter inpracticality of the over priced, and over bodied Tahoe.

so yeah, dump the H2 and buy something you can park!

Exactly

I'm going to see how much they will give me for my oversized , useless Tahoe and if not enough I will sell it outright.

Just make sure you get a really good test drive in first. The Xb is not fast. Really....

I love mine, but it is a lot slower than your H2. Of course you will be getting three times the gas mileage, so maybe you can sacrafice horsepower. It sounds like you don't need the H2 for any hauling or towing. So with the money you are about to save, you could also get a second car... like a Tc.

Get rid of that useless gas guzzler.
The XB is the choice man.
