Re: Thinking of buying..
Yeah, I have gotten the same **** from my friends that H3's are basically built for *******s. But oh well, it's a good vehicle for what I want to do.
As regard to the '06's, I went in yesterday to work with the dealer in Charleston,SC, and there are slim pickings on the 06's, most are either bling'ed out or $40,000. I am waiting to hear between a green adventure package and a black lux package. I will probably go with the green adventure, but it's age is 367 days, that's a lot to be sitting on a lot.
So if anyone knows of any green,white or black '06 H3's out there below 35k without chrome let me know.
Oh and with GMS the 35k adventure H3 comes down to 31k then $500 off that so 30,500 before TTT plus either $3k off or 0% for 60 months. Not a bad deal if you don't mind a little less power and can find a '06 you like.

Re: Thinking of buying..
There is really only one dealer in my area (Upstate NY) so the pickins are pretty slim for the one I want.
I'm also going to get a supplier discount through my company. Hopefully that will save me a few bucks. Probably enough to upgrade to lux version.
Can anyone tell me if there is a discernible difference in HP between the 06 and 07? Feel wise?

Re: Thinking of buying..
here in Qatar, we don't have so many choice. So i have a base model 06 and believe me, for a basic user, it's quite enough! just this lack of power in soft sand... but i'm talking abour real sand and 100m high dunes!
Talking about others? in this country, Land cruisers are kings... And before i bought my H3, eveybody told me that it was just de la merde (need translation?) in the desert... Well, since i've it, i never get stuck, but saw my friends get layd on the chassis (patrol, land cruiser, pajero, trailblazer...).
And everybody i know is always curious to have a look inside. it's still a myth.
It makes most of people dreams, it makes them throws up sometime, but it does not let anybody indifferent... Even girls like it: strong outside, soft inside.
and whatever people thinks, i'm driving one of my dreams... as everybody around here.

Salut Xof, ?a va? Where are you from in France? I mostly know Belgium but I've traveled a little in Normandy, Paris, the Loire Valley and Orl?ans
There's a couple of french-bashers here, but they're just playing around. C'est juste qu'ils ne savent pas de quoi ils parlent, la plupart n'ayant jamais ?t? en France ou aux pays francophones. But we all love our trucks and you're wecome here. Post some photos. I'd love to see you driving up those massive dunes you're talking about.
Soyez le bienvenu!
