Default need advice, may bebuying 2003 h2

A good friend of mine who ownsa local GMC dealership traded for a 2003 H2 with 12,000 actual miles. The original owner had 11 vehicles and did not drive it much. The vehicle is literally like new. I currently drive a 2004 Yukon Denali and have loved it. Was thinking about trading up to 2007 Denali but really like the Hummer. What do I need to know about it before I buy it. I can buy it for right around $29,000.... a lot cheaper than the Denali. Thanks for the help.

For that money, I don,t think you can go wrong with a 12000mile H2. Has service been up to date?

the h2 is a better vehicle than the Denali in every conceivable area....like comparing a mustang to a vette.

Have you drivin the H2 yet? That is how I got locked in. I just bought my 2003 H2 3 weeks ago. I drove one to see how much I would like it with plans on actually making a purchase at the end of the year. Once I actually got behind the wheel of one I just had to have one. 29K sounds like a great deal for only 12k Miles. Mine has 60K and I paid 27K and retail was 33K for it. I have wholesaler hook-ups too.

The one thing I did notice after looking at it again.... you have the old mirrors.... you will most likely have a problem with them atsometime...

Like Mdawg said, the old style mirrors were notorious for failing to auto-fold. I had my right one replaced twice under warranty, then gave up. I never needed to auto-fold them anyway.

It sounds like a good deal with the low mileage. But as you add miles your potential trade-in value for it will drop more rapidly since it is a 2003. Also be prepared for 12 mpg at best. The good thing is it runs on 87 octane.
