wife wants a h2. what to look for?

[bobtsgt]

So the wife wants to buy a slightly used H2 for her business. She is a real estate broker in Ohio. We wants to pick one up hopefully within the next few months. What are the good years and what are some problems to look out for? We are mainly a Ford family so bare with me Any insight or links will be very helpful when shopping.

thanks for the site. we found a black limited 06 with aftermarket black wheels for around 40g that we may go look at this week sometime if they still have it. Looks to be in our price range especially with my 03 Explorer limited as a trade in.

I was looking for an H2 for 2+ years before I bought mine a couple of months ago. Reason I waited was because of the price and the fact I was broke at the time.

I almost pulled the trigger in 2007, when I test drove the 2008, with the 6.2L engine. Was a big difference to me. So big of a difference that I held off buying an H2 till the prices of the 2008 dropped. I got lucky. With the price of gas skyrocketing, I was able to save about $20,000 +.

My advice to you would be to go and test drive a 2008 and 2007 and later. You will also see the interior is different on 2008 then in later years. Especially bring the misses, so she can see how the ride handles.

The prices now are even cheaper then when I bought it 2 months ago. Check it out on autotrader.com and other online sites, once you test drive at a local dealer. You can get a great deal now, especially on 08's. Easily in the low 40k's or even high 30's.

Good Luck

those aren't bad but the one local is a 06 with 7K miles on it. She is going up today to look and hopefully test drive it. That is quite a bit of an increase in power but the only thing I tow is either of our race cars or our jet skis which don't weigh anything. So the 6.0 should be plenty for what we do. Plus my father in law has a nice new F250 that I tow with often.

If she doesn't like the 06 I'll take her up and get in a 08 and see how she likes it. I haven't seen the comparison pics of interiors but all that isn't too important. Heated seats are a plus though. Plus I have a DVD in the Explorer thats coming out and would go into the H2 if it didn't have one. Plus a pair of 10s for the back. Gotta have the bump in all my cars

just remember for the 2007 and previous years the engine was a 6.0 litre V-8 with 325HP and 365 Lb-Ft of torque and for "08 they changed it to a 6.2 Litre V-8 with 393HP and 415 Lb-Ft of torque along with changed the interior to be a little more "luxurious", so if that makes a difference to you, you might want to check out some "08's
