Newbie with general questions
Hey there, I had posted on another forum about snow tires/studs for an H2 and got some answers, but this one seems a much more active forum.
Really I just will be buying this truck to help with my snowboarding addiction and it will pretty much only see snow/highway trips to the mountain, I got my tire quetions answered already, now just wondering about used purchases.
I'm wondering what the issues with buying a used one wtih higher miles, say 50-70k on it. I can't justify spending money on a newer one for my use. Do they wear out really fast? It seems to me that GM V8's pretty much last forever, but what about the rest of it? I don't see many posts about older rigs while searching the forums a bit, other than to stay away from 03's.
Any advice appreciated.

First of all 50k miles is not a lot, maybe back in the old times when vehicles didn't last 100k. Second, I have an 03 with 50k miles and it runs like a top and has had no problems except a leaky power steering hose. So if you find an 03 cheap with 50-70k miles do it!

Re: Newbie with general questions
Thanks for the info, perhaps I should look more at 03's, There was one locally advertised at 27 thousand and I think it had around 70k on it. Pretty much loaded that I can see. Seems like they would take just about anything for it since gas is so high in Oregon.
I'm no stranger to putting high miles on cars, I have over 100k on my E39 M5 to date and its actually putting out more on the dyno now than it did 50k ago. I just don't have any experience with Hummers to go off of and owners are always the best people to ask!

Re: Newbie with general questions
I have an early '03 and have had very few issues with it. If I were you I would not count them out either.
