looking for first hummer h2
#11
im looking for something with less than 60k on it so thats why its harder to find, plus im trying to buy one from southern state, i live in pennsylvania and everything up here is pure rust (like my tahoe), 20k barely gets me one if i can find one, like i said as far as gas mileage my tahoe at best got 11.5-12, lately im at 10.6 and im hearing from a few h2 owners at work thats right what there range is, the one i drove reminded me alot of my tahoe (99 2 door) as far and handeling etc. the "wheat" interior seems standard on most ive looked at, trying to find either black or silver exterior...the search continues

hello im currently shopping for my first h2, have decided that since my tahoe gets 11mpg i might as well drive a h2 like i really want, anyhow my price range (20k ish) is directing me to mainly 2003's just wanted to ask everyone if there is any real difference from 03 to 09 as far as problems or anything like that, im assuming an 03 is as good as any of them

Yes, the '08/'09's are worth the extra money if you can afford it. My '08 is a totally different truck than my '05 in all aspects except exterior appearence.

The 08 09's are more powerfully and have smoother tranny,but cost double,and look the same as an 03 from the exterior...they're also heavier and use more gas due to the new 6.2...so its up to you..I personally don't like the new interior its less hummerish and more like a tahoe

So then, I guess there is not much difference between 0-60 in 7.1 seconds and 0-60 in 9.5 seconds ... ?
As far as the interior, wait until the '07 and earlier seats start cracking and the "outer coating" of the leather starts to seperate. In my opinion, the newer interior is much more up to date than the older interior, but that is just a preference thing.

Or you can just supercharge it, upgrade the trans, radiator,exhaust like I did and blow the doors off of any 6.2L out there.
problem is you will never have that interior trim unless you own an upholstery shop or are not concered with the cost of upgrading.

I just bought an 07 for 24 k with 90k miles. It was about 10k cheaper than anything I could find with low miles. I plan to use the difference to rebuild the motor, tranny and add a supercharger. When buying a Hummer it is hard to tell what its been through for certain they are kind of bullet proof. I will have more what I want with 0 miles on the powertrain this way. The alternative was buy the other one with low miles still get the supercharger and wonder if it would last. I may still have "U" Joints and little stuff to deal with but the powertrain is what is important.
I think the interior of the 08 is for chicks. LOL

08-09,6.2 hummer is 214lbs.heavier than 05-07 ,6.0 hummer, and is 1.2 seconds quicker on 0-60 time,also gets closer to 10 mpg. Compared to 11.5-12, costs about double,and looks exactly the same from exterior,besides the silver bumpers and 20" street tires,
