Test drove an H3 yesterday.........

[brschwan01]

Hey all, I am back, I test drove a 2006 H3 Adventure yesterday, I like it! Went back today to try to do a trade deal on it, but unfortunately have too much negative equity in my car. So I have put my car up for sale, and am hoping to get a bite.

Don't shoot down the idea of looking for a later model h3! You get a more powerful 3.7L I5 and 2008 and up you could catch yourself a v8 alpha!

...sorry, never mind, looks like it already sold. It was a low mile (67k) 08 Alpha with Adventure package (rear locker and 4:1 transfer case).

Sounds nice, but Arizona is a little far for me to go to buy an H3.:mock:

This.

If you can swing it, stick to '07+. Slightly more power, less possible problems. Personally, I'd hold out for an Alpha. If you plan to wheel it get one with lockers.

Well I don't plan to wheel mine, other than maybe going to Silver Lake, however, I would get the Adventure package anyway.

As for 07+ I haven't shot down the idea, the '06 just happen to be at a near by dealer.

As with buying anything, price is always a factor. 06 H3's are going to be on average cheaper than a newer one. So if you find an 06 Adventure and it fits your price, buy it. I have one and don't regret it one bit. I take to places 90% of the others never will and I have never had a issue with power. I do have an AirDoc intake and a PCM tune, the tune was more for the Passlock issue than adding more power. No matter you'll be happy. How many miles on it and do you have pictures of it or a link to the dealer?

Here is a link and a couple of pictures, it has 112k miles, it is nice, with only a few blemishes that are typical for a 10 year old vehicle.

I have actually found a black '07 H3 Adventure, with 114k at another dealership for just over $11,000.

I will probably go look at it if I get some action on my car.

Did you do a history report? If the comes out clean this is a good deal. What will they let it go for 12.5k?
