I became aware of a wrecked H2 for sale. It appears to be very light front passenger side damage. The bags are good, and it is supposedly drivable. I think the title is clear. It is a 2003 with 50K miles on it and they want $15K. It needs a hood and a "saddle". What exactly is a "saddle"? Does the grill and headlights come with the hood, because they appear to be missing as well. Does this sound like a good deal?

 

i'd stay away from it unless you plan to use it for parts, no way, without a body shop inspection, to know what other kind of damage there is. the hood and grill are 2 different pieces.

 

What about just putting it back together and selling it? I was thinking I could make 8-10K depending on the cost of parts.

 

without knowing exactly what's wrong with it, it could cost that much to get it road worthy again. Impy had an issue with a vahicle that supposedly had a "clear" title, but it turned out it was actually salvage - so you could run into more problems than just paying through the nose to fix it. without knowing the owner and exactly what happened, it just seems like a lot of risk.

 

Does it look like mine? Early guesstimates are approaching $10k in repairs....

 

hey puddles, if you had had the winch mounted in the receiver, you might have saved a lot of damage to your truck . . . . . . . or, it could have poked through the door and killed the other driver, so maybe it's good you didn't have it mounted. . . . . . []

 

That's a fact.... and that was also about 4 hours worth of dreams last night....

 

No honestly It doesn't look like that. The hood and front end (lights, grill, and plastic) are gone. There appears to be no other cosmetic damage. The one thing I didn't know about was the "saddle". Still don't know what that is, but was thinking it was what the hood rested on on the passenger side.
This was exactly the info I wanted. I would never have guessed 10K worth of damage to your rig. Was there frame damage? Suspension? Cause honestly it doesn't look that bad. Sorry about your rig.

 

I think the saddle is the area around the front doors/cowl/etc.... but the hood I researched is $2000, plus a grill, lights, etc...

If you have the chance to put it on a alignment rack.. then you can find out if it is bent... spend the $15 on a carfax report.

Protect yourself. Protect your investment.

 

Yea it's starting to not sound so good after all. Probably just somebody trying to unload a problem.
