Always wanted H2 -help
New member, Always loved the H2 and have been looking at finally purchasing one.... lots of models and mileage on these units as they age... What do I need to look for and what are the areas or signs to avoid on a unit before purchasing.... hoping to avoid a money pit... aren't we all? lol
Love to hear anyone experience.
Found a stock 2003 H2 with 146K miles looks clean and excellent condition, price is $12,900 did not test drive yet but seems too good of a deal... anything you guys can tell me would be appreciated!
Thanks

Some Things to look for on a h2: Exhaust manifold leaks...make sure the bolts aren't rotted off or missing, radiator fluid mixing with transmission fluid, hub bearings, roof leaks (easy fix) , transmissions, pitman and idler arm worn, axle seal leaks, blend door mechanisms (check heater functions work/move from area to area), interior lights out (steering controls are always out)..Not trying to scare you...just a few things to look for....if you are not mechanically inclined pay a dealer for inspection...let them rip the vehicle apart..$100 inspection could save you from buying a money pit...Good luck in your search...I love my H2

OK A little scared now.... actually about what I expected from a vehicle about 10 years old and the gremlins that can develop... I really appreciate it.
Sounds like everyone that has them, love them and aren't we all willing to deal with a little challenges if the product is that good, can't wait to get some off road time in one. It would be a second vehicle for me not daily driver so won't be as painful to deal with hopefully.
Thanks again!

That definitely helps, In your professional opinion should I pay up to 10K more for a low mileage machine or for example found a nice 03 with 147 miles on it but the guy just did replace trans added all the front end and steering parts redone etc. New exhaust etc.... I guess you never know, Has a small lift nice 20" fuel wheels and 36" tires. He wants $17K...
I also found locally all stock one owner with only 38K miles on it, $28K garage kept etc, looks practically new, I definitely want lift it and 37" tires ideally. If I do I'm adding 6 to 7K so Im in pretty deep
where would you lean with your money?
Thanks!!
