Anyones thoughts? this is the exact H3 i was looking for as far as specs (leather,sunroof etc.) but it has 107k on it. anyone care to chime in?

Didn't see any pictures of the engine. Have them pop the hood and send you a photo. Lot of miles but low price. If you don't feel comfortable checking it out yourself take it to a dealer or Tustin and let them look it over for you. Might cost $100.00 but could save you a fortune. Seems to me they have the mileage priced in. Make your run at it and let us know how it turns out.

 

[Kyle]

yea ive just briefly looked over it while i was down there a few weeks ago the only thing that scares me is the ghetto wiring some one did on the rear tv screens, you can see a giant switch on the dash that my guess turns them on and off. who knows what else the owner did too it then!

Why not this one: http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?4155-For-sale-2008-H3

...has a locker, some cool mods, is an 08 & a lot less miles.

 

[3Hummers]

Definitely a better truck. A little higher on price but a lot more truck.

 

[06 H3]

Dude jump on that truck! It comes with some mods already done its leather and adv package which you want and it's been taken care of...

 

[Kyle]

i found the one i want and guess who has it! Tustin GMC, cant say anything to my dad right now, i got my head chewed off for even mentioning something hummer related lol i have to lay low for a little while. * crawls back into dark cave*

 

[3Hummers]

The great deals and really nice trucks don't last long. Don't wait too long.

 

[Expendable]

okay so i found this one, its an 08 and a great price but has high miles. thoughts or concerns anyone?

 

[amrg]

I believe you should wait for an Alpha! You're in the market right now, so try to get the best there is.

is it a 2007.5? because the driver side armrest will be different on the Newer erlier 2007 3.7s, Hummer changed the switches half way through the model year. I know I have one. also HP for the 3.5 is 220 verse the 242 3.7. I would go 3.7 2007.

Whats the deal with your dad and Hummers getting your but chewed. IT is a truly american made vehilce in the great state of Louisina motor and all.

Whats he driving and I bet its a Mexican/American Hybrid or Japanese/American Hybrid or even a German/American Hybrid or Canadian/American.

my dad has no problem with them?

 

[TheGunnyRet]

Sorry just referencing on your comment about your Dad, did not try to offend. I would jump on that 08 though.

Just so you know in the early days of Hummer there were some real Haters out there.

 

[Kyle]

okay no worries and yea its got high miles though. and i deal with haters everyday lol

 

[f5moab]

Dupe

 

[f5moab]

That's not a bad price. Looks clean, but no off-road package. But still.....
As for miles...it all depends on how it has been maintained....and used

And for some anecdotal info...the engine was not made in Shreveport where the H3 was assembled. It was manufactured by GM Powertrain in Tonawanda, NY. Shreveport was just a final assembly.

 

[Kyle]

yea im just going to keep looking for one with lower milage. i made on offer on the 06 black one with the adventure package. just waiting for a call from the dealer and if not ill go down again and try one last time and if not ill move on

Never be afraid to walk away. There are more. I am surprised they let you out of the building if you made an offer. That is unusual.

yea i walked out of two dealers with no one chasing me down. Yet when i looked online the next day the price of one of the hummers i looked at dropped to the price i offered. the only thing stopping me from going back was the condition of the car and that it had an ere feeling to it (was in an un-claimed accident i think).

I knew it was somewhere in the US.

 

[f5moab]

Gunny...some info on the H3...
Engines were all made in Tonawanda, but the auto trans could have been made in either Romulus MI, or Ramos Mexico. Manuals were made in Anjo City, Japan. Axle made by AAM were most likely made in the USA, same with B/W t/cases. My old Powertrain Application Master sheet only covers engine/transmissions so not sure about axles and t/cases.
