Hello from Beautiful Bobcaygeon Ontario!

Post by gjberta »

I retired, they got old and now I can afford one.... ;D 



Thank you for accepting me to the club.



Today I made a deposit on an '07 H3 with 144K kilometers.

Long way from where I live, so I have not seen it yet, but a fairly knowledgeable friend is checking it out for me tomorrow.

I hope it is what I am being told it is; "mint". Comes certified and with 12 months / 12K kilometer drivetrain warranty.

Bad time of year to be looking, but when I saw this I thought I'd have to jump on it - I have been looking for a long time in my limited price range.



I know about the valve seat issues of the 3.5L engine and I assume the 3.7L has the same thing, (it has the 3.7L engine) hopefully it has been through the needed repairs or maybe it won't need it. I have read many people did not have the problem, so, fingers crossed....



I was originally after an H2, but the good ones are more $ than I can afford for an old-fart's toy, especially considering the fuel mileage.

 
If my friend's inspection turns out tomorrow without any major showstoppers, then I will be a very happy camper and going down there the first good weather day to see it in person and firm up the deal.

Thanks everyone.

Passed my friend's inspection, he says the car is "mint".

I am seeing it for the first time in person tomorrow and will be bringing it home unless I find something drastic.



I am very happy, because I had a very disappointing experience a couple of weeks ago, trying to get into an H2 that turned out to be a re-painted rust bucket.

Congratulations on your H3. My wife drove the hell out of her 2010 Alpha for 6 years or so and it was very reliable. Just normal wear and tear maintenance. It was harder on fuel than my H2

Thank you!

It turned out to be "mint" as they said it was, drove home very nice yesterday.

The TPM is coming on and off, but I heard it is not unusual, see if I can disconnected. I think I can tell when I have a flat tire....

 
Anyway, it started OK this morning in the cold, so I am happy, so far..... I know I'll have things to fix, it's a toy for an old boy.... :)

 
How it looks this morning:Image
