Re: Buying an 03 h2....Need help with the 4x4.
Great tips! I'd ad one more on higher mileage H2s: pull the dipstick on the automatic transmission and smell the fluid and look at the color. If it smells burnt or is grey or black, they've probably never changed the automatic transmission fluid, which also means they've probably never changed the transfer case or diff fluids. Ask for some documentation on the fluid changes.
As for the antifreeze, I've known H2s to go 6 years with the same antifreeze and no water pump or radiator problems, but I wouldn't recommend it. If the color is green or yellow gold on the antifreeze, they've changed it. Reddish or orange???
