The SUV that I took a beating on was in 2003. I almost had a bad outcome during a hospital stay in N.J. and when I got home my step son said why don't you buy that Hummer that you've been watching for a while.
Before you knew it it was in the driveway. As far as we can figure it was a 2003 H2. It had everything and MSRP was about $59,000 to the best of our memory. After three months I had enough already and started looking to get rid of my dream, gotta have it now, can't live without it another day vehicle.
It was a rough lesson but I probably made up the money I lost on that mistake on the vehicles I've bought since. My two favorites were a 2019 Ford Flex and a Ford Excursion Ultimate with a V-10. I have no figures to offer but feel like those two gave me pretty good bang for the buck.
I traded in the Hummer on a Mini Cooper. Go figure.
I own a 3-year-old $20,000 car now that will hopefully last me till the end of my life. All in all, I'd rather ride in our Golf Cart anytime.
Great subject OP. Brought back a lot of memories. Some good some bad. Thank You!!
