I would also check out why it has a lean on it and if that lien is satisfied. because if it is not then you are in a world of issues. especially at the price they are asking for it to have the lien holder reposes it on you.
I saw that, too, but nothing shows up on any report showing a current lien. Even the NMVTIS report says nothing about it. Any idea if there's another way to verify?

I thought so too, but that appears to be what they're running at the moment. Most comparables I've seen are $28K-$32K. Some had the adventure package, some did not. I certainly wish it had it, but I love the look of this one and all the other features. If I could wait a few months (possibly longer) for an even better one to pop up I might. I'm also getting a little off that price, so it's not quite that bad.

Question

I'm adding a new question here because it's directly related to this thread...

What are your thoughts on driving this thing 1200 miles home...on those tires? I plan to get all the fluids changed and anything else it needs right away before hitting the road, but I'm a little concerned about that tires. BTW, I've never had a serious off-road vehicle before. It's been only a couple of 4x4's with mild off-road tires, so I've got no experience with mudder tires like these.

They are just BFG KM3s. Plenty of people run an MT on their daily driver.
I have always run MTs and other than some noise they handle well on the highway.
Alignment and balance before you go 1200 miles. They are not cheap to replace.

I just picked it up. I'm at a local shop getting fluids changed before.I start my 1000+ mile adventure home.

The truck is amazingly solid, straight (not a single ding) and beautiful. The underside has a little rust, but I think I can media/soda blast most of it off and then seal it.

Thanks for the inputs guys
..appreciate it. Love this thing!

depends on how far your willing to travel. there are a ton of 2010 and 2009 H3T ALPHA crew cabs available for cheaper and some even have lower miles. might not be the same color though.
