Just popped in to check the forum out and found this thread.
Good to see some of the originals on here. I'm not sure if I qualify as old guard, I joined in August 2005 when I bought my first H3.
Now on number 5. Never had any problems, I just tend to trade too often.
Latest is a 2010 base model, 19k when I bought it and 36k now. Unless a pristine jewell comes along with low miles (and a V8), I'll hang on to this one....I think I've said that before.
