Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
I have an 03 and have had good luck with it. The mirrors were the only issue I've had with it, well my front diff also, but that was my doing, my extended warranty paid for new. I would recommend buying an extended warranty for seems like little things always pop up on these things. One thing you'll enjoy to know is the 03's were the only year made my AM General and the others by GM so YEEHAA.

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
I would agree on the extended warranty. Little things will pop up. My instrument cluster went out on my 03'. LF Axle seal had a small leak. Power steering hose had a little leak. Just little things to be expected from a truck that is 5 years old. You will love the truck though! My 03' is for sale |

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
Price was just reduced to 25800.00.
It is through a private party so extended warranty is not an option.......
Thanks for replies. Sounds like there are no major "first year" issues. It always makes me nervous buying any model of car / truck that is a first year release......

I'd give the under carriage a good look see to see if it was wheeled hard or not. Look for obvious dents to the underbody protection etc.

You can purchase a private company extended warranty for just about any
car / truck
We have one for our H2 and it has been great.

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
The others have touched on the minor problems associated with the early models. As far as towing...... I have been very happy with the few times I have towed with mine. I towed my Z06 on a very heavy duty equipment trailer, was told the trailer weighed around 3400-3500 lbs and my car weighs in at 3050-3100 depending on how much fuel is in it. Round trip was around 400 miles and it pulled effortlessly, still was able to pull around 9mpg doing 65. I have pulled my 2000lb 2 place jet ski trailer on over a 1000 mile round trip and averaged 12.3 mpg and you wouldnt even know you had anything hooked to the back. I can assure you that unless you are towing something very very heavy (recommend a Diesel Pick up for that) you will be pleased.

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
Doesn't sound too bad. I sold my 03 a few years back and only had to have the ignition replaced. Dealer blamed it on the TV's that have to run through the ignition (they installed them). Other than that it was great.
I just pick up an 05 lux with 31K miles for 27.5K. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
Thanks for all the info guys/gals!
I had changed my mind for a while, but I just keep coming back to the Hummer!
Is there a place I can go and look at what "luxury" package includes? Or see all the options that are available??

Correct me if I am wrong but all H2's are made by AM General under a licensing/marketing agreement with GM.
