What Should I Be Looking At That's Is Or Was A Problem With The 2007 H2

[Viet Nam Vette]

A buddy of mine is coming over today to pick me up and drag me out to look at an 2007 H2. He saw one a 2007 SUT loaded out with all the chrome gack and rear bed cover on some lot somewhere. It has Cross bars and Rear DVD Captains chairs...etc.

It has 21K miles and he said it is super clean. The Car lot is asking $39K. Now I''ll climb under the rig and look at the drive line and such for leakes as well as mud and dirt and twigs ..(Standard Off Road Hitch Hikers).... But is their anything particular to the 2007 as far as problem area's?

All Help Apreciated.....

I have an '06 and the '07 is very similar and IMHO two of the H2s best years. You can tell if it's been wheeled normally by getting underneath and check CARFAX of course. Also, an '07 should still be under the factory basic 4 year/50,000 warranty and in '07 they upped the drivetrain to 5 year/100,000.

Thanks "HM"..... The Rig was very clean it had a standard bench rear seat with front Captains chairs and DVD and all the other LUX stuff. I crawalled undernieth and it was clean as a whistle. No damage on the UBP ...no leakes from any seal or drive joint. It was a clean piece. The NAV face was scratched up but other then that it was ok.

It also had Roof bars and the rear tub Cover. They were asking $39,995.00.
It was at "Auto Lenders " Here in South Joisey.. My Friend decided to go with and new 09. We found one and he's working on the deal .. I'll here more Monday.

39.9K is too much for an 07...esp. when you can buy an 08 for the same price or less. you should be able to pick up an 07 for 35K or less with under 30,000 miles. I'm sure you friend will enjoy the 09 interior and engine upgrade better.

Way too much money.

I was over at the dealer in Dallas and they have some 2006 with the same milage and asking $28K.

Yeah I hear yah... $28K...I guess the used rig market is slightly different in the Mid West.

Your right on point... I was thinking 33K... It was a clean Rig. At this point..I think he's going for an 09
