I have been eyeing them up for some time and finally pulled the trigger on the right one, i hope lol. I found an 08 H3 with only 72k miles on it, looks like the under carriage was treated as there is little rust and in PA thats huge!! Just a clean over all great machine. I think its just the base model which looks like it wasn't abused. Small stuff needs done like a bulb is out in the ac control, I did electronics for years so it should be easy, I ordered neo 4mm led's for it already, should be here soon, and they are replacing the serpentine belt as it squeals a little bit when cold. Should I demand the tensioner be replaced as well? All in all this seems like a tank compared to my grand vitara i traded in. everything is stiff it seems. the doors seem heavy and it takes some effort to move. Even the ignition seems like it takes more effort to turn than a normal vehicle, reminds me how manly a vehicle it is i guess lol! So far I have had it since monday and its literally been raining since I bought it! So no good pictures yet!

 

Welcome and congrats
