Re: Buying an 05 H2. What to look for?
Truck has 20,000 miles on it. One owner, clean carfax (if that means anything). I have no knowledge of Hummers, it caught my eye, so I figure I'd give it a shot. It's still under warranty for quite a bit longer, I just wanted to look for anything that I should be concerned with.
Thanks,
MJB

Re: Buying an 05 H2. What to look for?
well i'd look underneath for the obvious signs of off road abuse and neglect. The front skid plate and side rocker panel guards will take a beating off road. I am not the most mechanically inclined in the world, but looking and spending some time without the salesmen breathing down your back is always good.

Is it from a private buyer or dealer? Open the hood, check the oil. Smell it, see if it smells burnt. Just like mikejr said, look underneath to see if its been offroaded a lot.
Also kick the tires. why? I don't know. Just do it.

I did that, and my foot bounced off. Is that a good sign?

thats good then. Seems like the owner replaced the winter air with summer air.
