Default What to look for when buying a h3

I'm thinking about getting a h3 with around 30000 ~ 80000 on the clock and either a 2007 or 08.. What are the main things to look for and test driving it

Nothing out of the ordinary of any other vehicle really. Make sure it runs smooth, no weird bumps or vibrations, etc. Same stuff you'd look out for when buying any other vehicle.

Good luck, and post pics once you get it home!

Also be sure to cycle through all the 4WD modes and if equipped engage the differential locks. You will probably have to read the manual for instructions on all the modes because the salesman is likely not to know how.

Pick the one you prefer best.
In any model of vehicle, the manual trans. will almost alway have less issues due to the simplicity of design and the fact that there are more autos on the road.
