To Hummer Owners, I Am Thinking Of Getting One. What Is It Like To Own One? by Glock9(m): 2:31pm On Aug 24, 2014
Hello People,

I am thinking of buying a used H2 or H3. I want owners or those who are familiar with the vehicles to please let me know what their experience has been like.

Thank you.

when hummer was still in vogue it was da bomb.

during the year 2012 and 2013 i frequent ikorodu and i could actually see lots of hummers parked there someone was talking about they have gear issues and it cost a fortuneto fix it. It is kinda rear to see a hummer pass by even in lekki, but once one passes by, it is a head turner grin cheesy smiley

Gear problems in Nigeria are mostly caused by using the wrong transmission fluids.

I would advise you find hummer forums abroad and go through them.

I think the H3 is cheaper to run shares part with a chevy Tahoe and other GM SUVs. Get ready to find a shipping agent cos you would be importing parts.

The car is steady head turner with all the bells and whistles especially those with desert lights. I remember watching Jeremy Clarkson falling in love with the H2 while test driving one.

Thanks a lot for the info. I thought one can get some parts locally. Importing will be expensive. I'll check the forums too. Thanks a lot.

How many hummers do you see on the road? Importers love to buy parts they sell out sharply rather than tie their money down. The less the hummer on the road the less the demand for parts.

OP, take this with a grain of salt.

Continue to admire the Hummer at a distance. It's always good to have dreams and wishes but not all of them needs to be realized.

Go and find a nice well equipped Japanese medium to high end SUV to buy. Pilot, Pathfinder, etc

I've been back in the US now for 2 weeks and I live in car crazy SoCal and I have not once seen a Hummer on the road.

Remins of an old saying, "Fools Stomp Where Angels Fear To Thread".

Good luck.

How many of these well meaning Nigerians own a hummer-none, how many have driven one before-none! The issue with hummers is that few people ever get to own one and the majority out of fear will always discourage the few from being different.
Hummer parts are very available and quite affordable. I buy most of my car parts online and I have never had to buy any twice because the quality has not failed me and the price is cheaper than the cost of buying locally.
My point is, do your research and if you need assistance do not hesitate to get in touch. Check hummer user groups and you will get a lot od useful tips.
Goodluck
