hey yall ..it happend to me fri. service engine light came on and i hit the onstar and they said take it to the dealer now...
dealer said its startin to be a common problem and they have done several this month
so they put me in a rental and said they would call mon when it was done
while i waited on enterprise to get there i looked in the showroom and found a purdy cherry colored h3 ( i have never seen one that color before)
so i called the salesman over and he said it an H3X and an exclusive color to the X.. it had a 42k sticker
i told the salesman to work me up some numbers on tradin mine in on it
so monday came and the service dept. call and said mine was ready
i went to get it and talked to the salesman
i talked them down to 39k and them adding the roof marker lights
and they are giving me 26500 for my 06 basic auto w/ 20k miles
does that sound like a good deal ?

IMO the H3x is an abomination. The wheels are hideous. The tire cover is fugly. And it's got ghey street tires on it.:lame: And then, of course the dealers are marking them way up. :rolleyes:
But, to each his own. :shhh:

Tell us how you really feel???
gr8hntr - Sewie's just a hardcore wheeler, so he doesn't appreciate teh bling. He even gives me crap about my truck.
I love the color in the pic. I think you lost a little too much on the trade in.
Other than that, I think it awesome.
But, the tire cover has to go...:giggling:

i havent done the deal yet ...i told them i was gonna think about it
i only gave 29987 for the 06 i have now ... it was basic no step rails,no leather, no chrome... its the same salesman who sold the 06 to me so he knows what i got it for... toyota want to give me 25k for it on trade for a FJ...this is the wifes ride she wont let me offroad it. she said that why i have a 2000 gmc Z71, to hunt and off road in..
she loves the color , its the only reason she want the FJ ... she loves her H3
and im only doin this as a christmas present for her

Remove ALL BLING, add black wheels, make the spare cover gray, change the steps to the black flat ones, BUt not bad overall

I do not like much about the X except the colors, lover the crimson color and the orange. I would go buy a new 2007 with the crimson or orange color in an adventure package with current discounts

WHY WOULD THEY NOT OFFER ALL THE GREAT COLORS ON THE ADVENTURES? I would trade my superior Blue in for a crimson or Orange 2007 Adventure...

What was the deal with the valves on yours, were you experiencing any oil consumption and or a lot of smoking on heavy exceleration? I am asking because I am having that problem with mine now. They are going to replace the head but I don't think that is going to solve the problem. It sounds to me like I have a ring and piston problem, something in the lower half of the engine.

mine started missing and the light came on for a random miss fire ...i carried it str8 to the dealer i was only 6 miles from it ..so it didnt have long enough to smoke or anything ...the service guy said the valves in the 3.5L comes up to far and smacks the head and it has to be reground and bigger valves installed ...they didnt replace my head just did head work ...thats the other reason i traded for the X model ... only havin 19.8k miles and already havin the head off didnt sit well w/ me ..and only havin 50k warranty
the 07 have the 3.7L and 100k warranty and doesnt have the valve problems that the 3.5L have ..

HEY, I just noticed they moved the little GM emblem off the door and up on the fender....
Last year, I asked Wil Cooksie (plant manager for the Corvette & XLR plant at Bowling Green, KY) why they bother putting that little GM emblem onto the Corvette which is, after all, GM's halo car. Wil gave the politically correct answer. I'd hoped for better but oh well...
