What to look for? Problems?
 

Hey all,
I am new and I did a little search to find out what problems I need to look for when buying a H2.

The one I am looking at is white with a tan leather interior and a sunroof. I know that the door handles inside tend to chip on the early additions, and that the air bag suspension can get holes in it and the compressor could could go out, but is there anythng else I need to look out for?
I havent bought it yet, so now is the time to tell me about the issues to look for

I havent seen it yet except on the internet, so I want to make sure I go over the truck with a fine tooth comb.

Much gratitude to all those who share
Thanks

I suggest paying for a mechanic inspection from a mechanic you trust before you buy it! $ well spent if they find something you overlook! :)

Well since it is in another state and I dont have a mechanic..... I was just wondering what else I might be able to do

broken bolts on the manifolds, and also water infiltration from the front roof center lights

I run on a few dirt roads where I live, but have never seriously offroaded it

My Suggestion to you would be to contact a GM HUMMER Dealer (One who use to sell the brand) in that state and have them inspect the HUMMMER. After the inspection have them email you the report. You could pay them via CC over the phone. I figure the Dealer time at $90.00 to $120.00 per Hour. Wouldn't need more then 1 hourto inspect it.

Ask your seller if he is willing to drive it over and pay him for gas. If you blow $100 To $150 bucks to save thousands it's worth it ...JUst My $.02 Worth:D

I agree 100 percent!:cool:
