Personally, I would steer clear of the 06 3.5L H3. You can find an 07 or 08 in your price range and they have the 3.7l and you may still find one with some of the 5 year / 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty still on it.
$ost od your dealers don't know krap about H3s so you can get the Adventure package (I5) without the dealer even knowing to mark up the price! Ill do somr checking on autotrader.com and post some options for ya here within 250 miles of KC, KS.
315s (35") tires can fit and H3/H3T without any modification at all.

Test drove it at lunch. It was nice, but had a few flaws. It had a DVD player, players in the head rest, and lots of loose wires hanging down. Looked like maybe a younger kid had it. I was a little weary about going any further with this one. It also had 65K miles on it.
Over lunch, I called a dealer about 30 miles away and they had just got in a white '07 H3 with 22k miles. Their over the phone price was $25K which is high, but i think I'd rather go with something with less miles and a year newer. And the kicker... It's WHITE! I want a white one. Guess I need to shop more.

Well I'm going to go look at the '07 today at lunch. It's an '07 with 22K miles on it and it looks pretty sweet from the pictures my buddy texted me. I don't know exactly what package it is, since dealers around here don't deal with them much. But I like the idea it only has 22K miles on it. The over the phone price they shot me was $25K, but I'd like to be around $23K on it by looking at the Autotrader adds around this area.

Well I drove it at lunch... and actually I'm still driving it! I love this thing. It looks like a new machine! It's an '07 with 22K miles on it. Interior looks immaculate and exterior is awesome as well. I was able to talk to the previous owner and he told me he had put about $2,000 in parts on it after he bought it (grill guard, nerf bars, rough rack, etc) and overall, I'm in love with it. The price was $25,900, but he came down to $24,500. The previous owner said they got roughly $23,000 out of it in trade. So what are you thoughts?
