With more and more pre-owned Hummers on the road, and the new Hummer Certified Pre-Owned program, owning a used Hummer is getting much easier. The program is designed to allow certified Hummer Dealers to put a stamp of approval on pre-owned Hummers.
Certified Pre-Owned Hummer Inspection
Each vehicle is put through a 110-plus point inspection before it is approved. The assessment includes mechanical inspection and service. Everything under the hood, as well as inside and under the truck, is inspected to make sure it meets original factory standards. The vehicle also undergoes an appearance inspection to make sure it looks good — Including complete interior and exterior detailing. Finally, there is a comprehensive conditioning process to restore the vehicles “like-new” feeling.
Certified Pre-Owned Hummer Warranty
Here is the big advantage to a certified pre-owned Hummer. Every vehicle comes with 24 hour hummer roadside service. Also, the bumper-to-bumper limited warranty of all Certified Pre-Owned Hummer vehicles is extended to six years/100,000 miles from new-vehicle delivery date and mileage, whichever comes first.
Certified Hummer Costs
The breakdown is pretty simple. For 2003 to 2005 Hummer models the price is $2295, since these vehicles originally came with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. 2006 Hummer models and forward are only $1495, as they came with a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty to begin with.
Hummerguy’s Take
The certified pre-owned deal is pretty solid. For the price you pay, you get quite a bit. With that said, you will get more on certain vehicles. Even if you’re looking at new vehicles, you may want to look at low-mileage, late-model H2s. These are the real steals – upgrading to a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty on a used 2008 Hummer that has 8,000 miles? That’s an awesome deal. Now a 2005 with 35,000 miles on it? It wouldn’t be a bad idea, but you won’t get the same bang for your buck.
