$39K for a 59K mile H2 SUT. Is this a good deal?

Thoughts?

It's blacked out and lifted already, dunno if it's been regeared or not. looks like it's in pretty good condition.

Other than regearing, is there anything else to ask the seller? It's not local so I can't go look at it. Any Florida volunteers? :-D

I have not kept up with prices on these but I don't think that is far off. It does not have the rear bed cover which are expensive and hard to come by.

As of 1/23/07 2008 SUT w/60k miles is trending at $36k. This assumes an average truck. You will want to consider the upgrades yours has.

ok, thanks guys.

that's good to know. where are you getting that data?

 

[LoJac963]

I personally wouldn't consider the upgrades myself. This is a 9 year old vehicle. 59k or 159k on the odo doesn't matter, what matters more to me is the plastics and H2 specific parts that cannot be found anymore. These aren't 40 year old Camaros where you can just jump online and order any part you want for it-keep that in mind.

Its about 20 mins north of me in Mount Dora, so I can check it out if someone is interested, although I would not pay near that price for it. I purchased my 2005 SUT used in early 2007 for $34,000 with a little over 30,000 miles.

If you could, that would be fantastic. I haven't heard from the seller yet so I don't know if he still has it. There's another one in Houston that I might look at, too. It's closer. Well, 8-10 hour drive, but still in my state :-/ It isn't modified so that's good and bad, I suppose.

I don't think it's too bad for the price. I haven't looked at H2 prices for some time, but I also haven't seen these lower miles for this low of price. And yes, miles do matter to me. If I'm buying a vehicle, I'm shooting for lowest miles I can find--after all I'll be paying on the damn thing for a long time.
The truck does look clean, but I always lean toward non-modded vehicles as people scare me with what parts and work they're willing to settle for. When I was in Utah the new car salesman admitted to me that they always put the cheapest lift kits on their lower model trucks to keep them affordable for an average qualified buyer. This equals terrible ride quality. Not saying this H2 suffers from that, I just like getting unmolested vehicles and I'll do my own mods.

yeah, that's something I've concerned with too. I don't want to inherit someone else's shoddy work. It is hard to know if a lift kit was installed by Cletus by the 6 pack, or if Arnold Schwarzenegger installed it himself. I'm kind of leaning towards the close one now, considering it's totally unmodified.

Just going by prices, it's a good price from what I've seen.
Many H2s (2008/2009 models specifically) are going for $50k+ around the 50k mile mark and the prices have been rising. SUT prices are moving significantly higher than the SUVs & even those are increasing.

I'd want to drive it & look it over. If it runs well & has no issues, it would be worth a look-see. The 08/09s are rarer.

Sounds way cheap for a 08. Would be cautious on it. Definitely check it out in person. Wrecked, water damage and check to see if salvage title

 

[High Five H2]

I just talked to the seller, and it sounds like it's in good shape. He says it drives just like his denali, or something, so I'm guessing it was re-geared. If anyone wants to check it out for me then that would be awesome

 

[Big2dabank]

I'll check it out for you, if it's not in the ad, just p.m. me his name and phone number and where the truck is located.

I'm actually going to wait for a different truck. After dealing with modifying my H3, I'm not sure I even want a lifted H2. I'm going to wait until after Moab and when I get my tax refund and bonus in march before I make any big decisions. Also, there are always H2s in Houston that haven't been modified, like this one: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...l?listingId=447440389&hideBackLink=true&Log=0 It seems like a better deal to me. Thanks, though. that's very generous of you.
