Why are H2 Parts Costly
Why are H2 Parts CostlyH2 parts on Hummers are made to last under the most extreme circumstances people can put the vehicles through. You can drive your Hummer through the snow, the desert, a river and more, all in a single day, without any damage to the vehicle whatsoever. Then, when you stop at a local convenience store to purchase a drink, you can unknowingly scrape your vehicle up against a pole, causing damage.
Obviously, you do not want to drive around a nice looking H2 with a side view mirror hanging down as the result of an unseen pole. This means it is time to hunt down a replacement part for your vehicle. If the damage is not too severe, you will probably want to pay for the new part and repairs without getting help from the insurance company to avoid increased premiums.
If you own a Hummer H2, you know this is a special vehicle unlike any other on the road. Because of this specialization, many of the H2 parts have to be specifically designed for use with this vehicle. As a result of the limited amount of competition for parts and the specific manufacturing requirements for the parts, prices tend to be higher than they are when you have the ability to purchase general parts for a vehicle.
This is the same situation people who own Ferraris, Bentleys and Porsches face. Companies understand people have a limited selection of places available to purchase needed parts and can charge prices accordingly. You can still find lower prices by shopping around, but H2 parts will not be priced as low as parts for many other vehicles.
