Default Seriously considering on buying a H2

Ok, Im considering on purchasing a used Hummer H2.

Its not for personal use but for business. I am going to get the vehicle wrapped for the business as well. The truck looks really good compared to other wrapped vehicles and it is large enough to haul things.

Does anyone own one or have inputs on what year to buy?

I know GM has its issues from reliability to everything else. I swore to myself I would never buy american made vehicles, but I just can't find anything suitable.

there are many other trucks out there that would suite your needs, ford for example.. is pricing ridiculously low on the H2's?

You don't have to buy a American-nameplate (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc...) SUV to get one built in the U.S., with American labor. A number of foreign manufacturers have plants here also.

Funny story: (coles notes here) when I went out a little over a year ago to go buy an H2, I came back with my Rover instead and I couldn't be happier.

Not saying it's what you should do, but you might look at one. Just make sure you're looking at the BMW built Rovers and you'll be just fine

My Rover is awesome, no reliability issues what so ever.

I could write a small book on the awesomeness of it (I wont right here) but in a nutshell, I will be hard pressed to ever give it up.

I would tell you to look harder. How about a NIssan Armada?

A lot of it comes down to your tyres when you're out there.

(the M + S ones that come standard aren't so great)

I think I'm getting old

I used to hate SUV's with the greatest internet passion. These days I'd totally rock a RR Sport
