Default FS or Trade: 2008 H3 Alpha

Dark blue metallic exterior, black leather interior, tinted windows, carpeted floor mats, sunroof. 174K miles. Runs well but not my cup of tea, as it rides too harsh and my wife refuses to drive. OEM Off road package. No rust. Asking $11,000. Also open to trades of equal, or less value plus cash as I need to replace this as my daily vehicle.

Trades I would consider are Honda or Toyota van or SUV, or something interesting from the 1960's or 70's. Must have A/C for hot Miami, and no rust.

I have many more photos available for anyone that's interested. Randall 305.608.8165 or noblious@gmail.com

WOW, less than 5 moths of ownership. Is the BCM fried from the sunroof drains soaking the right carpet?

Need to sort out the sunroof drain tubes as the right side carpet is wet, and the OEM battery terminals.

Hi Tainter.

No, the PCM is not fried, and everything seems to work well. I "dremelled" out the front sunroof drains "X", so it drains properly now. I bought new terminals for the battery but haven't replaced them because I don't seem to be suffering from any electrical gremlins...yet.

Yeah, only 5 months, so i want to sell for a few reasons:
- I moved into a one-car garage townhouse so I really have no space to tinker with the Hummer
- I also bought a 1989 Toyota Cressida with a 1JZ engine so I have no time to tinker with both, and I have Cressida parts in the garage
- wife won't drive Hummer when I need to use her Ridgeline for car-parts run, so I am a bit restricted
- not happy with how the Hummer handles ruts and grooves on Miami roads, but it's great during torrential downpours and for climbing the curb / sidewalks
- my old dog finds it difficult to climb into the cargo area
- it's a little inconvenient and difficult for my son to lift his heavy school bag into the cargo area
- my son finds it difficult to swing his legs out from the back seat due to the narrow rear doors

So i like the vehicle, and people give me thumbs up every now and then when they see it. Not many of them on the road, and I have yet to see another Alpha. It would serve my needs fine if I were single (Don't tempt me, lol) but as it is right now, a mini van would suit the family better.
