I’m looking into getting and h3 any recommendations, what to look for?
Best h3 year?

 

 

 

I would go for an alpha if you can. It will cost you more on gas but the model will be worth more in the long run.

 

Stay away from 2006 H3s with a Vin lower than 287591 per my old post below. Other than that, it don't matter.

"The S/Ns affected is any 2006 H3 lower than 287591 .... the first one started with 100,001, your truck build date will be Nov. 06 or earlier. Not all have the problem, but some could. The headissue affected not only the I5, 4s and 6s were subject to the same issues.
All the Atlas motors built since 4/1/06 have the new hardened valve seats."

 

None. They are all to old and zero support for them. Just buy a Jeep or yota or Bronco. Lol!

 

Anything 07 and up. Check maintenance records and milage. If something hasn't already been fixed it will need to be. Parts aren't cheap and can be hard to find depending on where you live. Be prepared to put $$ in the gas tank and be checking fluids at every fill up. Highly recommend reading the owners manual and reading posts in this forum. They are most helpful. Good luck!
