Thanks all for your thoughts. The thing is that many people have told me before that a waterdamaged car does not allways have to be terrible. So can you explain what could happen in
worse case w the truck in the future?(salt/fresh water.)
Seller mentioned in the description that the truck had been in the shop for some work/change of parts. Due to this it does not mean that it should be safe enough to buy you think?
W1N I do search autotrader.com, but it seems hard to find a H2 for less than 35000 w decent miles. But thanks for the link.

Wow! My first real chance to post and I can't tell if this thread is a joke or not
Assuming this isn't a joke...Here's your sign...
Dude, I don't want to be to harsh on you but you need to work on your ebay skills. The seller of that "possible" Hummer has only sold 2 things on ebay with that name! And, one was another trashed car!! Sure he has a 100% positive feedback rating. He probably sold it to his mother. I have bought and sold cars on ebay and by far the most important thing to look at, for me mind you, is the number of items sold, for what value, and the feedback history. You said yourself you have two ebay accounts. If it were me I would NOT pay for this and take the negative feedback. Legal contract or not you were obviously out of your mind when you bid for it. You appear to be regaining your senese now by coming to a community of Hummer owners and asking for advice...LISTEN! Quit bidding on the junkers and get yourself a real one. If you can't afford it buy something else. There has to be more than one car in this world that excites you.
Ok, so, worst case is what you want to know? How about you just blew 32K+ on a Hummer that won't run. You then spend 10K on it to get it right and then you still have problems with it as long as you own it. Water and electrical systems do NOT go well together. Short of gutting all the electrical equipment how will you ever be able to diagnose electrical problems with certainty. I am no mechanic but that would be a fear of mine. So again, worst case, you just bought a 32K+ paper weight. But hey, an upside. Re-list it with ebay as the largest paper weight in the world, find someone who has lost their mind, and maybe you can recapture your loss
Now that I have gently bashed you over the head why don't you PM me. I will work for you free of charge to help you find what you are looking for. I love shopping with other peoples money and I do it responsibly. I also have an open carfax account for a few more weeks so don't spend your money on that. Give me exactly what you want. We will take our time and find just the right one.
In all of 2 minutes I found this one which has to be better than what you got and for near the same price!
