IMPORTANT: If you are new to Ebay and have less than 5 previous transactions completed, or have less than a 95% positive feedback rating, you MUST contact me before placing a bid. Either call first @ (970)214-0979, or contact us through the upper right "ask seller a question" button on this listing. We welcome and certainly appreciate your business, but we absolutely need to know we are dealing with a legitimate buyer planning on following through on their purchase. Also,please note: As a dealer, We ABSOLUTELY cannot legally sell a vehicle to anyone without a CURRENT U.S.A. driver's license. Even if you have the money. Don't laugh, it happens to us all the time. Anyway, enough of the basics, and on to the description.. Here's a sweet older shortbox GMC 4x4 that runs perfect for NO RESERVE! This truck is going to sell at the end of this auction to the highest bid. Hard to find truck with the 5 speed manual. The 5.7 Vortec runs smooth and makes great power. The inside of the bed shows how lightly this truck has been used. The new owner is going to love this truck. They are getting harder and harder to come by. The body does have a few dents,(refer to the photos). But.... the truck is RUST FREE. We have sold MANY vehicles here on Ebay, and have maintained an impressive positive feedback rating. That doesn't happen by accident, by misrepresenting vehicles, or offering junk. I will give you an accurate description of this vehicle to the best of my ability, and you will drive away with an incredible buy. You are not going to find anything rusted out on this one. Despite the miles, this is one of the Nicest, Cleanest, ones out there! The paint is all original as far as I can tell. (And I can usually tell.) The pictures show the truck with some dirt and dust on it, but it cleans up real nice. There are foul no odors of any kind inside. The front and rear seats are in great condition, The carpet is clean and has been protected by floor mats and is very decent. The entire vehicle shows pride of ownership inside and out. It's very obvious it has been well maintained. The 5.7 Vortec engine starts up immediately on the 1st crank. No squeels, smoke, ect...! There is NO check engine light on. There is an airbag senser light on. Not sure which senser is triggering it. The brakes stop like they should. The underside is as rust free as it gets. All 8 injectors and all 8 plugs are all firing and operating correctly. In fact, it starts, idles, sounds, and runs incredibly smooth. This is a pretty NICE example that is going to sell for peanuts. Interior wise, all of the windows go up and down. locks work, Radio works. Horn works, lights all work, heater works, Air conditioning blows COLD, 4x4 High and low range works, shifter is on the floor and the front end engauges immediately. The transmission shifts crisply as it should through all the gears. The transmission feels tight. Syncronisers are all great. Everything I've tried out works. I can't find anything that doesn't operate correctly. As nice as this Sierra is, it obviously isn't brand new, and it isn't showroom perfect. It's nice, though. Especially for the mileage and year. The tires are as new condition. The paint is in extremely decent shape. The exhaust system is leak/ rust free. The glass and windshield are all perfect. Since I am only human, there's a chance I've missed some small stuff. If there's something specific important to you that hasn't been addressed, please contact me and I'll try and get you an answer. My name is Chris, my cell # is (970)214-0979. . We have sold Many, Many trucks here on Ebay and have maintained an exceptional feedback rating. Understand we are not trying to hide anything and WANT you to know EXACTLY what it is that you are bidding on. As you can imagine, with any used vehicle, it is nearly impossible to cover every last square inch in detail with this brief listing description. I'm absolutely sure the vehicle will need some kind of minor work or maintenance (just like any other used vehicle out there). Please be realistic on your expectations. If there is something important to you that has not been covered, PLEASE ASK questions and I will try to get you the answer A.S.A.P. We have maintained an exceptionally good positive feedback rating here on Ebay since 2001. We are not going anywhere, and are in this business for the long haul. PLEASE review the pictures carefully, as they are invaluable to show possible cosmetic things you may want to know about. .........PLEASE feel free to ask questions! This is a used vehicle being offered by a licensed Colorado dealer. All used vehicles are sold As-Is / No warranty. Any applicable tax, title, and registration costs are not included in the sale price. If you are a resident in the State of Colorado, a Dealer Handling fee of $99 will be added to the final sale price to cover the costs of emissions testing, as well as, the additional paperwork required by the State of Colorado for title purposes. A Free 60 day temporary licence tag is provided if requested. The final bid is the sale price. There will be no set asides, allowances, or haggling after the auctions end. This vehicle is also offered for sale off our lot locally for $3950, so we reserve the right to end the auction early if obviously necessary. We will also end the auction early for $3950 if you would simply wish to purchase this vehicle today rather than by going through the auction process. I believe you will find our prices hard to beat with ANY comparable / year/ condition truck. That doesn't mean this is written in stone and I am not willing to listen to offers. Please contact me at (970) 214-0979 for any questions not already answered on here. For us to end the auction early, it will require an immediate $500 deposit thru Paypal and Full payment thru bank to bank transfer within 24 hours. We can safely store this vehicle for free for up to 3 weeks (or even longer) after full payment has been recieved. Who are we and how can we be contacted? We are C&J Auto Sales located at 288 N.Garfield Ave., Loveland Co. 80537. My name is Chris and my wife's name is Jen. We are a small family owned business that has been selling to the public for approx 9+ years. (By small, I mean just my wife and I). We keep our overhead as low as possible. We also purchase most of our reconditioning parts off Ebay to support the community that has supported us so well throughout the years. My wife and I both wholesaled for several years before that, so we are not new to the business. My phone # is (970) 214-0979. I would say the best way to contact me (if you have a specific question about a vehicle) is through Ebay "ask seller a question" , (as I am rarely standing right next to a vehicle that you may be interested in, ready to give an on the spot description). I do check my email often, and will give you an answer back ASAP. Shipping. All shipping costs and arrangements are the buyer's responsibility. We will gladly assist the shipping company of your choice. I cannot recommend any shippers,so please understand YOU will need to find a shipper. Obviously,the vehicle will not leave our possession until full payment has CLEARED. We can deliver the vehicle to a shipping terminal within 50 miles for an additional fee (to cover time and expenses). Vehicles need to be picked up within 3 weeks of auction end unless previous arrangements have been made. You are more than welcome and encouraged to pick up the vehicle in person, straight off the lot. As a licensed Colorado dealer, we are legally CLOSED on Sundays. (State Law). Please make sure you do not show up for delivery on a Sunday. If you prefer to fly in/ drive home, the airport you would be arriving at would be Denver International Airport (D.I.A.) There is a very convenient shuttle going north into Loveland for only $25. Check outwww.supershuttle.com/en/DENAirportShuttleFortCollins.html IMPORTANT: I will be happy to pick you up from the shuttle dropoff point for free here in Loveland,..... BUT..... Please contact me ahead of time to make SURE our schedules don't conflict. Inspections. I highly encourage inspections on all vehicles offered, either in person, or by a hired professional. This is to satify you. There are many different companies that specialize in doing nothing but that. They generally charge between $100-$175 and THAT may truly be a bargain to give you piece of mind and any additional info you may need. The vehicle will be made available for inspection by appointment. If you decide to forego the inspection, there really is no reason you should be unhappy about anything after the auction has ended. Most of our vehicles are generally purchased at dealer only auctions for the sole purpose of resale. We sell these vehicles FAR below any dealer retail prices. This gives you room for any additional repairs that you see fit. They have not undergone ANY type of inspections/ or specific tests for ANYTHING. This includes emmissions and safety inspections. We cannot guarantee compliance of the vehicle for your state, because every state has different requirements as far as safety and emissions inspections are concerned. Again, YOU ARE BUYING A USED VEHICLE AS-IS/ NO WARRANTY. All descriptions given are a general observation based on very limited contact with the vehicles. Our definition of nice may not be the same as someone elses. It's just a matter of opinion. I will say, however, we have been able to maintainan impressive positive feedback rating here on Ebay which doesn't happen by accident or by trying to swindle people. (Especially when dealing with used vehicles that people sometimes expect to be new). I buy, as well as, sell on Ebay and don't like giving or getting surprises. I do not offer any vehicle on here that I have not personally driven. I also believe the listed vehicle would be sound enough for a cross country trip, based on the limited driving I've given it. Unfortunately, I do not have a crystal ball and cannot predict when something might fail. One thing I've learned for sure in this business .... Anything mechanical can break down at any moment. By choosing to drive any used vehicle cross country, you are taking a significant calculated risk. If you are unsure of that option, shipping may be the best. You should expect to do some type of basic scheduled maintenance or repairs to any USED vehicle listed on here, or for that matter, anywhere. The one thing I can promise you FOR SURE is that ANY used vehicle you buy will need something. In conclusion, it is ULTIMATELY the buyer's responsibility to have fully satisfied themselves as to the overall condition of the vehicle. Titles: We are a licenced bonded, and insured Colorado motor vehicle dealer. All vehicles that we purchase and offer for resale have a clear Title. (meaning no lienholders). We do NOT knowingly deal in any vehicles with salvage title histories, period. The State of Colorado, along with many other states, automatically exempt the recorded mileage on the title for any vehicle over ten years old, and over 100,000 miles. Therefore, on these vehicles, the titles will simply be "exempted miles" and have a "0" indicated for odometer reading. That does not mean the mileage is unknown, or that it has been tampered with, it simply means they (The State), are no longer keeping track of the mileage. We also occasionally need to title these vehicles in our business' name if they are from out of state and do not have room for any further reassignments. This may take up to 30 days, and we have no control over that, as we are at the States mercy . The bottom line is: you will recieve a transferrable title to the vehicle either at the time of purchase or usually within 30 days by mail. We have never run into any instance where we could not eventually get a title for our customer. ***Please keep in mind that mileage may increase slightly from local customers inspecting and taking test drives. ***By purchasing this vehicle from C&J Auto Sales, the parties of this transaction agree that all legal proceedings regarding, or in any way related to this transaction, shall only be filed in Loveland, Larimer County, Colorado, and no place else. ***Winning bidder must contact us within 24 hours of auction end. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay and negative feedback will be posted. ***Preparing, listing, and managing these online auctions costs real time and money. Please have all your financing in place before bidding. ***We are selling the above stated vehicle outright. We are not offering financing or accepting any trades on this vehicle. ***Please do not contact me concerning reserves on vehicles listed. Figure out what the vehicle is worth to you, and bid up to that amount. ***These auctions are a significant part of our family's livelihood and we rely on it's results to make ends meet. For that reason, the auction is taken VERYseriously. Please make sure you don't have any reasons that would prevent you from following through on the transaction. This includes the required deposit, wich is due within 24 hours of auctions end. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auctions end. ***You MUST be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid USA drivers licence to purchase this vehicle. We CANNOT sell a vehicle without a valid drivers license. ***If you are new to Ebay and have less than 5 previous transactions completed, or have less than a 95% positive feedback rating, you MUST contact me before placing a bid. Please don't take this the wrong way, I realize everyone starts out here on Ebay as a Zero feedback member. I would love to talk to you in person if you have any questions about bidding on/ buying our vehicle. Please feel free to contact me if you are truly interested in purchasing. This ensures that I am dealing with a serious bidder/buyer and keeps the auction fair for everyone involved. Thank you for understanding, bid often,and best of luck!
