most cars you see on the road are no longer made! most "hard"parts are available thru dealer/auto parts stores/junk yards.
small special parts??.
but youll get by.
spend what you can on low mileage well maintained h3.
my 10 adventure at 72000 never off road would be great, but i aint selling ,,,yet! happy shopping,dont rush.
like that name, annie...

No problem at all with parts , most are GM parts .
One of the cheapest cars to run if you get a good one . They last forever

I don't know of any parts that we can not get still. Everything is available via GM or an aftermarket brand. Nice thing is many of them are also used in the Colorado, which is a bit of comfort.

As far as expense.....one of the cheapest vehicles I have ever owned. Not many issues and I just turned 130k it's my daily driver.

If you can't wrench yourself Don't do it! Not your girlfriend/boyfriend your Dad/Mom your sister/brother or even your wife/husband. You have to be able to wrench on your own vehicle! If you can't wrench, buy something else you think is cute and much newer!

Basic maintenance costs from a mechanic or dealer will kill you. You have been warned.

My 07 before i bought it seemed to be at the dealer and shop monthly haha. Owned by a older gentleman also and never off road and used as a business advertising.
Has all the repair documents so i thought hey all this has all been done so i should be good to go.

So keep in mind repairs seem to be needed often haha
