Default Re: 2003 PURCHASE QUESTION

70K is not a terrible price, when you consider the milege and its like new condition. I'd probably offer 67-68K and see if he bites.

I'd take the 03 because it is the latest updated of the "old" H1. With the 04 you have the new quieter interior, thats great but consider it takes 3 hours to remove the doghouse to service the rear of the engine. I can take my doghouse and engine cover off in 30 minutes.

The optimizer engine is a great engine, but it has its own computer I doubt anybody can even pull the codes out of that engine unless they are a HUMMER dealer. I like to be able to send my truck wherever, if I'm on a road trip and have a problem I would hate to have to rely solely on the dealer.

Lastly, I know how to work on the pre 04 trucks. For me thats a deal breaker.
