Default Finally found a nice H3 Alpha

Hello,

I recently bought a low-mileage H3 Alpha after looking for a few years. This one is painted in Carbon Flask Metallic and has the H3X appearance package along with leather seats. Sunroof as well.

It was in very nice condition and had less than 70k miles.

I absolutely LOVE it.

And... les than 800 miles later a car spins out up in front of me on I-95, collected into another car, and I had nowhere to go other than right into them both. Fortunately no one was hurt. The two cars were totaled.

Now my H3 is no longer "accident-free".

Oh well, just fix it and press on. But parts are becoming very difficult to find. Wish me luck!

Oops. Typo on the color - should be Carbon Flash Metallic.

Nice truck, too bad about the nose bender. What year is it?

I have an 09 Alpha Off Road in Carbon Flash Metallic. I think the color is great.

It's an 09, and yes, the color is perfect. I was hoping for black while searching but the Carbon Flash Metallic is even better.

I'm told that there were "less than 80 produced in this configuration" (H3 Alpha, H3X, Leather and Carbon Flash Met.).

However, condition-wise, this one is just right. A very nice "driver" as opposed to being too nice to drive.

Welcome...

Glad you were not injured. The damage looks manageable...

Sure to be a classic collector worth the fix.

Thanks! Yes, is could have been much worse.

I plan to keep the H3 as long as I can.
