Default Looking for opinions on buying a nice used H3

I found this H3 and I really like it. I will be going to look at it up-close this weekend, and wanted to see if you guys could give me some tips. I'd like to know what are some common problems of H3's so I can ask about it. Here is the discription of the vehicle, along with a few pics. Tell me what you think. Judging just by this description, and assuming it has a clear title, how much is this vehicle worth?

Thanks a whole lot for any info you may have...

Yea the Rhino Lining can either be really cool or really bad. I'll find out when I see it this weekend. Thanks for the opinion on it rubbing off. How often do you think I'd have to re-do the liner based on average wear and tear?

correction- it doesent really rub off- more like it fades, I would say, judging by my friends old rhino-lined truck, you would need to get it touched up about once every couple years.

that looks nice. but personally i would prefer something that hasnt been mangled with.
stock, 1: you can put your own personality into it 2: you know it hasnt been messed with 3: would be significantly cheaper

but thats just an opinion. goodluck with that! =)

seen that one before. I can see the look they were aiming for... but IMO they failed.

From what I remember it was overpriced as well. As panamera said, I would also look for one stock or close to stock that way you know it has not been beat on and you will get a better price.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it then buy it. Only you know if you will be happy with it. Enjoy.

I would not buy this vehicle even if the price was real low.
First you did not mention if it had the most important option, the Adventurers Package though I would imagine it does if they added a winch.
I think you will find that there are people like me who would not buy a vehicle that may have been used off road a lot and beaten.
