Up for sale is my 2005 GMC Sierra SLE Z-71. I am the second owner of this truck, having purchased it from the original owner in 2014. Both original owner and I are mechanical engineers, and this truck has been very well maintained and used sparingly. It has never been used for work, only transportation. This Sierra has 65,020 original miles as of today 5/2/2017. This is a great truck and I am selling it reluctantly, but needed to make the change to a Tahoe to accommodate our growing family. All maintenance has been performed on (or usually way ahead) of schedule. All fluids (including coolant, transfer case, front and rear differentials, and brake fluid) were changed at approximately 50K miles. Oil has been changed consistently every six months. Every feature works with the exception of the CD player (which does not play when I recently tried it). The A/C is blows ice cold. Runs and drives excellent. Tires and brakes have approximately 15K miles on them. This truck has the uncommon and desirable L33 engine option. Overall condition is very good. If you are looking at this truck, then mostly likely you are aware that the rockers and cab corners commonly rust. These areas are completely solid on this truck, as shown in the photos. It has only been in the Chicago area for approximately 4 years, during which I've kept it garaged and washed frequently in winter. There are normal chips, small scratches, and dings commensurate with 12 years or road use, but far better than average. There is one small dent on the lower bed side behind the rear wheel on each side, not sure what caused this but it was like that when I got it and never bothered to fix. Additionally, there is an area below the driver’s exterior door handle which appears as though someone attempted to break-in. Again, this was present when I bought the truck and I did not attempt a complete repair but did touch-up with GM paint to prevent rust. Condition is well above average and constantly draws compliments, but please don't expect perfection as it's a 12 year old vehicle. I encourage in-person inspection if possible. I will make every effort possible to answer questions accurately and quickly. Truck is located in Itasca, IL 60143. TERMS OF SALE Winning bidder must pay $500 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close. Balance of payment due via bank wire within 3 business days. NO EXCEPTIONS. I have and will make every attempt to accurately describe the car, however there is no warranty of any kind expressed or implied. Truck is for sale locally also, and I reserve the right to end the listing unless reserve has been met. Your bid is a binding contract, non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay.On May-03-17 at 06:02:42 PDT, seller added the following information: Thanks for all the interest. I am overwhelmed by the response. Reserve is almost met, therefore I am not offering the truck for sale outside eBay to ensure a fair opportunity for all interested parties. Also, please ask questions and perform inspections PRIOR to the end of the auction. The high bidder will be the new owner, and is expected to follow through with the transaction. I have a lift in my home garage and will make the truck available for inspections. Also, to be clear, due to the level of scams going on, I will only take payment by wire transfer or cash. For security and confidence of both parties, a cash transaction can be done at a local Chase Bank branch.On May-03-17 at 06:58:16 PDT, seller added the following information: I JUST TOOK PHOTOS OF THE UNDERSIDE. EBAY LIMITS TO 24 PHOTOS TOTAL, SO I ADDED AS MANY AS I COULD HERE AND WILL SEND THE REST BY EMAIL TO THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED. EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT UNDERSIDE PICS.On May-03-17 at 18:06:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Next bid will meet reserve. Thanks again for all the interest, please ask any questions you have.On May-05-17 at 08:49:03 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE be serious if you bid. Your bid is a binding commitment. You are bidding to buy, not take test drives or make inspections after the auction end. I am being 100% transparent about the truck's condition and accommodating every request for pictures of specific detail areas. It is also available nearly anytime for in person inspections and test drives. Having to cancel people's bids messes up the auction process for everyone. On May-08-17 at 13:19:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I took the truck in for an inspection today 5/8/2017 to be sure there are no problems for the buyer. The shop recommended replacement of both front wheel bearing assemblies on a future visit; I took it upon myself to have this done now so the buyer doesn't have to deal with it later. The truck will have new MOOG front wheel bearing assemblies and ABS sensors installed when the buyer takes delivery. Also, a couple people have asked if the truck was smoked in. This is a non-smoker's vehicle. I am extremely sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke and would be able to tell if it had been smoked in ever.
