Thoughts about this H1?

I would tend to agree with everything that has been stated above. I went from a 06 H3 to my 97.5 H1 almost 8 months ago. I do perform a lot of the maintenance and repairs myself, but it seams like I have to do something about once a month. No mater what H1 you buy (if you are like most people and can?t afford an 03, 04 or 06) you will be getting an older vehicle. You have to go into this with decision with your eyes wide open. You will have maintenance and part replacement costs on top of your purchase price. Now after that you do have some control over how much these cost are. I will not take my truck to the dealer unless it is unavoidable. They wanted to charge $125 for an oil change, It cost me something like $25-$30 in materials and is easier than changing the oil on the H3. If you do your own work and shop around for a good deal on parts you can keep the price down. I would say I have been spending between $100-$200 a month on maintenance or repairs. This is in addition to new wheels tires etc...

I bought my truck for $32K I think $30k for a 95 is high. If this is your price range I would diffidently keep shopping and get a Turbo.

Keep a few grand handy for repair. I don't like 95's personally. we sold one that was nothing but non-stop problems
