Should I get an H2?

[DaveC]

Thanks again everyone. I found a mechanic near the dealer and may give it a look tomorrow. Its close to a hour drive...so not just down the street. With only 17K miles and a asking price of under $20k (wholesale Bluebook was $23K and Retail was $28K) it just seems like such a good deal. I just know none of us should be getting more into debt right now and buying a gas guzzler just isn't smart...but I know I am over analyzing this. I also got a little concerned reading Consumer Reports and postings that talk about electrical problems (mostly accessory outlets , CDs, DVDs and the like) and cooling problems , Tranny issues and the like with the '04. At least according to CR, they rate reliability low. On the other hand all of you have them, drive them and love them. I am trying to tell myself that at the asking price, if it doesn't work out I should be able to sell it w/o a loss after a few miles. I started looking here to also see if any magic was found to improve mileage, but doesn't really look like it. Too bad (at least from a mileage standpoint) you can't disconnect the front diff. Since my Jeep only gets 14-15 mpg...I bet if I left it in 4WD, it wouldn't do much different the a 6K lbs Hummer with a V8! What to do...I hate being so practical. As always..there appears to be a lot of great folks on this forum..and hearing about your experience is really great. Thanks
