Am thinking of upgrading to an H1, but don't have much to spend on it. Would this be a decent deal? What are common problems w/1996 models? TIA

Older hummers you have 2 issues. HVAC upgrades and engine upgrades on 96-01 turbo diesels.

Since this 96 is high mileage, you are probably safe from the #8 cracked block which tends to happen within 10k miles, but can sometimes pop up at the 30-40k mark.

It seems to have the newer style HVAC controls installed.

I'd have a few grand set aside for a fix it fund, to replace any leaky seals, loose ball joints,etc.
