have 2006, advantage of 2008 version H3?
hi, new member here. I have been lurking around this forum for the pioneer avic-d3 information for about a week. Finally decided to register.
Anyway, I have decided to go with the pioneer avic-d3 for my hummer H3 2006.
Now a question for some experts here. The 2008 basic version is $28K and my 2006 got 15K miles and can be traded in for $22K. For $6K difference to get 5 year/100K miles warranty, I am really tempted. Any 2008 users share their opinion if 2008 is worth buy? I am kind of person that trust the first generation. I am afraid future generations might not be as good the first generation.
Sorry for asking questions right after registration.

The '08 incorporates:
* 3.7L engine vs 3.5L (needed power improvement)
* Ergonomic improvements on window controls
* Improvements to address some front suspension and engine issues of the '06's
* standard side curtain airbags
. . . and I'm probably leaving some out. [sm=helpout.gif]

Thanks Jim. Sounds like they are still using the same platform plus some improvement. Very tempted. It is time to shed some $6k to get a 2 year newer rig.

No. If I get a new one and choose to trade in my current one, I only pay tax on whatever the difference. In my case, I only pay tax on $6K. Registration is pretty cheap in RI.

I'd go for it for only $6K even if just for the engine and the warranty. 15,000 miles on an '06? I've got 21,000 and haven't quite hit my one year anniversary.

Plus a host of minor details that no one really knows about -- little tweaks after seeing warranty repairs for several years.
Power boost and warranty would be enough for me.
