Was the 03, 04, 05, 06, or 07 the best year to buy one?









I am soooo confused.

Here's an idea......... Buy one from each year and then return the ones you don't like. :giggling:

2003 - Early Adopters - Cloth Seats - How much was this truck?
2004 - Ok....I will take one...Lebron bought one last year
2005 - The Year of the SUT.
2006 - 0% for 72 Months - Please buy me
2007 - Should I wait for the 2008?

I'm partial to the 2005. My first H2 was brand New, second was for a color change, third one...Finally got it right and 6YR/100K warranty

If you haven't bought one yet, then this is the best year to buy. Or maybe next year.:p

TURE! But I am not familiar with the 07's and the 08 interior is looking to mych like my Chevy Trucks. I like the dash bewbies and they are not available in 08!

What changes did they make for 07...not including the limited?

Yeah, I don't think so either...

yep, they sure did! The first half of the 03 production (which was available late in 02) had a base package that gave you clothe wheat seats. They were very durable from a first look, but I guess wasn't being ordered enough to keep around as an option.

The very first H2 i sat in was at Bergstorm HUMMER.. OHHHHH, i can remmeber that day all to well!!!! The sales manager took for a ride through their off road course! i was sold on the spot!!!! But I could't afford one at that time!

1 1/2 years later I boiught my first H2!!!!

03's had front dif, ac, and some other bugs. If you get a protection GMPP extended warrenty all are good. My favorite is 04 if your looking for a deal.

Yeah I think it's a bit wierd that Tim is asking the rest of us this question. I say the 03's are the toughest because that was before GM started value engineering the crap out of them with weaker parts, just to make some more bucks off all you johnny come lately's. :shhh:

I ordered my 03 in September 02. Paid $85K US in full. 3rd in line to order next to Todd Bertuzzi(Nice guy.). Unseen, no test drive, no regrets.

Still grin ear to ear when I get behind the wheel.:beerchug:

That's funny I got mine right after Darren McCarthy and I got to see him play the night before i picked it up. Sadly he probably had to sell his.

Got my 03 after a "surprise" test drive from hubby. I'm trying to get him to arrange for another "surprise" test drive when the new Challengers come out. ;)

Best thing about the 03? $48K sticker price for a loaded Lux. :)
