Is it a good idea to buy a HUMMER H2 or a SRT10 Ram?

[Frey7190]

So HUMMERS right now are super cheap... I mean you can easily argue 10k off the stick price no sweat. I got a guy wanting to sell me a 2005 H2 adventure fully loaded with everything (navi, spot lights, towing pkg, 3rd row, 3 tv's, etc) for 20k! The car only has 30k and only one owner..
-OR-
2005 Dodge Ram SRT Viper Powered (10 cyl) one owner 26k MINT, only for 25k, after 12,600$ savings (from carmax)

My dad and I have been debating whether it is a good idea to purchase a big gas guzzler like these and keeping them until the economy gets better or gas gets cheaper, until people start to want them again. Once the demand for these comes back I would sell it and either;
A.) walk away even (selling it for the price I paid)
B.) making a profit.

- My dad believes it is a bad idea, and that I would only purchase a vechile like this for personal enjoyment and basically spend every penny I make into it, until I sell it for a low price, because people will never want a car like this.

- I believe that once the economy gets better and gas decreases slightly the demand for these will increase and people will want to buy them. When that does happen I will sell and walk away a happy man. I believe that when people (rich ppl in particular) start getting some extra $$$ in there pockets, they will want a car like this ( that is limited in production, and stamped with its assembly number). Also people will want to own a piece of history.

Tell me what you guys think!
THANKS

Dumb idea. I don't think gas is getting cheaper anytime soon, if ever. If gas money isn't an issue for you, go for the Ram since at least that's a decently cool truck. The H2 just sucks all around.

[cerfus]

Yeah or man up and get an H1..

[Kerschera4]

turning a profit on cars is extremely difficult and an H2 it would be impossible.

your only real rationale for doing something like this is buying an H2 dirt cheap and driving it for a few years normally seeing as what you save off of the sticker will be taken up in gas. either way youre going to come out about even.

a hummer H2 is not an investment

[Jung]

bad idea.. go ahead if you want to look like a big douchebag or someone with something to prove. everyone i know that has one uses it as a "cock extender" and are huge tools.
plus they look like shit, are huge, and guzzle gas like my dad guzzles beer. the ram would at least be cooler

[|FYASKO|]

bad idea

[pizdetsauduxa]

if u can afford an rs4 and u bring up an h2 in a "comparison" question, shame on you, young man (high school style) as said before - sit in the corner.

[A4_Mike]

I would not take the risk.

[$4c@b]

the only hummers I like involve warmth and saliva...and a girl.

I've always liked the Ram SRT but not enough to drop $$. Get it if you love it, but only if you are going to drive it/mod it/beat it up. You'll never get your money back, and there will always be something newer and faster for rich people to buy.

[Tiesto]

Aren't you the guy whose considering an RS4 as well? I'd like to see you find one of those for 20k.

[le91688]

If you're going to get a truck, get a TRUCK.

plus on all points. I frigging hate those damn things, as a matter of fact, this is one of the funnier ideas I've seen for a website. FUH2.com

[le91688]

that website is fucking dumb.

[Frey7190]

lol so I think I got the idea... Hummer H2; BADDD IDEA..... RAM SRT; suck up the 8mpg, Lift it, Mod it, and never wax it, change the oil, etc until it dies (lol)

Audi RS4 = Not a good idea at all to have brought up in comparison with the H2 & SRT.

I will let you guys know what my verdict is.

THANKS!

[Audi S4 Turbo]

Cool concept. Not going to work.

[A4A4A4]

Heres the thing, it could easily be a couple of years before gas prices come down, and even though the h2 would not be driven and wouldn't rack up any miles the resale would still go down as the years go by because people will rather be buying a used 2008 h2 with 30k rather than a 2005 with the same mileage. There is no way you can come out ahead in this unless gas prices drop extremely soon and extremely rapidly.

Hahaha, what a bunch of liberal enviromental hippies. I bet they all drive Toyota Prius hybrids.

[LampyB]

this is a bad idea. cars are an expense, NOT an investment. they depreciate, and unless you have a historical car you won't ever make money on it while just letting it sit. especially letting it sit indefinitely...because gas prices aren't going to come down buddy. the car/truck market has already changed in consumers eyes. the economy isn't going back to it's normal guzzling self, once it gets better things will have already changed.

[OverSpun]

Yeah or man up and get an H1..

agreed. H1s are nasty.

Actually, you'd be way down because for as long as you owned and drove either of the aforementioned, you'd be a complete douche.

strongly agree

[HeHateMe]

that website is fucking dumb.

so is owning an H2

If you're going to get a truck, get a TRUCK.

I see guys driving these monstrosities all the time and it's usually this guy: about 5 foot nothing, shaved head, wife beater, tribal tats, goatee, too big baseball cap on sideways, you know, a 1998 Fred Durst wannabe. Reminds me of those guys in Harold and Kummar. Extreeeeeeeme!! GHEY.

I think this guy just assumed you have a small cock.

My town in Wisconsin is full of these kinds of trucks and guys. They pack the truck and bed full of people then go around dumping diesel soot all over people and their cars. They listen to ****ry and shitty rock music. I'm 90% certain that their "girlfriends" are ttheir sisters. if you cnat tell, i fucking hate hicks

LOL, well it's not that bad here in Vegas but we have some of these douchebags rolling around like that. And they always seem to want to pull up on my left when I'm stopped, waiting to make a right hand turn so I can't see oncoming traffic at all. I f--king HATE that shit.

Haha!

[JBM]

Funny thing is that it runs a CAT engine and has 300hp but 900lb-torque and gets something like 16MPG, which is better than my families Excursion

[SoCalS4Avant]

HA! That's better than my Avant most of the time...

[pyro]

both dumb decisions.
