Well considering I am not about to buy an SUV for $160,000.00 The
$65,000.00 (used is not an option, I don't buy used vehicles under
normal circumstances) one bleeding or not is my best option. Plus the
H1 is way too big for my use. The H2 fits in parking spaces and can
maneuver well, the H1 is just not the right fit.
