By the ATL do you mean Atlanta? If so I live in Morrow 20 miles South of Downtown Atlanta.
Nova...
If you paid that for a new one, you got a hella deal!! Those kinda deals are not to be found in the ATL! Just for example below is a link to the used ones (owner seller and dealerships) in my surrounding area, there are 2004's with more mileage listed for more $$!! There are 2003's listed for 35k, even 40k. The price for this one is good - though I will prolly offer less than 39k, cause that's how I roll.

RE: Need y'all's opinion ...
Spoke to the seller again today and got some answers to more of my questions ... and that spare tire question.
He is the original owner - it's never been wrecked or off-road - just had 30k mile maintenance - just had new brake pads - no smokers - he still has original set of wheels/tires that have maybe 5k miles on them, spare tire with spare tire race - has OEM tonneau cover and OEM chrome grille.
He's busy today until around 7:30. So, we may not be able to go look/drive it until tomorrow.

Many of us do care about the "gas ****"...I own other properties in central FL that I have to check on regularly and when I can't drive up there (from south FL) and drive around for a couple days without it costing me over $200.00 just for gas (in an H3!!)...not to mention that some people have long commutes to work and back...gas IS an issue for some of us... (Particularly with the way gas prices are rising and projections say it could even possibly go close to $4.00/gal) I personally prefer to spend the money a little less aggressively and have several toys LOL. That being said...
Paige if this is your dream then by all means go for it and don't look back! I (and a couple others) was merely pointing out things to think about since it seemed to have you in a quandry and you asked for opinions - and you know what they say about those...

I wouldn't say it was my dream ... but it is nice. That said ... I'm still studying the whole thing .... What sucks the worst is, we will have 3 car notes until we sold the H3. That's a lot of notes!!

OK I have thought about what I'd do if this was me. My inner throw caution to the wind I wanna look hot drivin this around self would do it...BUT my other more practical, don't make a rash decision just because it's something you want side would not and I think that side would win out.
Do you drive much? I DO and I would go broke gassing that hog up. Will it fit in your garage OK? It would not fit in mine and a black car sitting outside will not weather the elements well, not to mention will always be dirty. Do you want to manuever a big thing like that around all the time?then there isthe cost of upkeep and repair - gonna cost more than the H3 I'd imagine...Decisions decisions!

I did get a hell of a deal! I still can't believe my luck. And it was brand new... never driven except off the truck and into it's place on the dealers lot. They were bending over backwards to sell their 05's that day and I took full advantage..hahahhaha

Wow! That looks almost exactly like mine with the exception of the grill. You said around 39/40K with 35,000 miles? I paid that for mine brand new with 0 miles. See if you can get them down some more. I did get an excellent deal though. I was there on the right dayat the right time.They were moving the 05's out to make room for the 06's and were doing some serious price cutting. But I'd still see if they can knock off the price some.
