I would stick with either the 2006 or 2008
Best bet is to test drive both
big difference on interior and engine/transmission
Little better on 08 however with 24k miles the 2006 is almost new
good luck with the hunt . Let us know who won

Depends on your plans for the vehicle.
If you care about safety, the 08/09 has side air bags w/ roll over sensor, is 200 lb heavier and has a better power train.
I agree with everyone that the 2007 is out. So, how do you pick? Sight unseen w/o caring about the improvements in the 08/09, get tAhe 06 based on mileage alone.
Are all of these H2s near you so that you can test or are you doing what I'm doing (none are closer than 6 hours of driving time) & looking online? Check the carfax & look for electrical or PCM (power train control module) work being done, crashes, major electrical work throughout the life of the vehicle or anything that doesn't seem right. I saw a lot of 08s around 70k miles going for $35k-ish & I wouldn't touch any of them. They all seem to suffer from being a lemon. $40k seems to be closer to the mark for 08s w/ 70k mileage, at least this is what I've seen after reviewing almost everything that's been on the market for the past month. As for 07 & earlier, they are not on my radar (I had an 03 for almost a decade), but I know they run less, so I can see the price of a 24k mile H2 being $35k or higher.
Btw, on the 2006, it does not have side airbags. Those were not introduced till 2008.

good info.....
I am dealing with an auto broker so................... I dunno what to expect.
cars.com, bestride.com and autotrader.com are being used
This guy can get great financing rates (2.1 something)

I think I would consider the 06 but only if I could get it for 8-10k cheaper. If not I would go with the 08. Based on what you have told us. Other things to look at would be how many owners, service and maint intervals and records and the overall condition of the truck.
Bottom line if it isn't mint. I'm not buying it. Mileage doesn't scare me as much especially with a v8. If it is a vehicle that won't see much mileage from when you own it (toy) then it will always stay low.

Totally agree with Mad
I would go with the 08 but just if the price on the 06 is too high
Mine is almost 100k and I just put 3500miles on a road trip without worries but I got it with 60k so I good take care for the last 40k
I wouldn't go for anything over 70k
Resume if the is a few grand cheaper that's a great find
otherwisetjen then 08

Well none of these happened.
A) Down payment/finance was higher than initially talked about
B) The guy kind of avoided the question of where can I see these up close
----I have a feeling the feeling the auto broker didnt want be going to the "source" and seeing his markup
Thanks for the responses though
I'll keep looking for the H2 that needs a good home (lol)
