Re: [DMCForum] gettin' a Hummer... (Jack)



Hey the family will drive up there with our Van when the time comes if
your guy can save me 10k.  I am not opposed to a little travel.

I am looking for an 05 Lux package with sunroof, Navigation, spare
tire holder on the back.  Just those 3 options, in Pewter please lol.
See what prices your Hummer dealer up there has it for.  Again I am
more than happy to party with you all weekend and make the trip back
to Tenn.

Jack
