Up for auction is my 1989 GMC S15 Jimmy. I've owned this Jimmy for about 10 years. I worked as a manager for Florida's largest GMC dealer when I saw this Jimmy coming in on trade and I knew I had to buy it for myself. The couple that owned it (were older) purchased it new and had taken really good care of it. At that time it had about 80K miles and I had to fight one of the other managers for it because he also wanted it. It has been a second vehicle for me, and there were short periods of time that it was my main and only vehicle. I used this Jimmy to bring my children to college (among other things), and towing a big u-haul trailer at 75 mph for hundreds of miles (on the highway) was no problem. It has a class 3 hitch on it. It has always run great, and other than normal maintenance stuff I've never done anything to it. I would Not have a fear in the world to just get in it right now and drive straight through to California, it's that reliable, tight, and mechanically sound. In the last year and a half I've replaced the water pump, alternator and the battery. I did a transmission service on it , changed the plug wires and plugs, distributor cap and rotor. I have always changed the oil as recommended and I have always had synthetic Mobil 1 in the engine. Between oil changes there has never been a level drop on the dip stick (it always showed to the full line). The oil pressure is at 40 lbs. at an idle (like the day it was new). The tires have less than 200 miles on them. The chrome is all great, The rubber on the bumpers , the carpeting , headliner, etc. is all in great shape. This is an un-restored original car that has never been tampered with (it's all stock). It has always been a Florida car so there is virtually no rust on her. There are a few very small quirks with her such as when you make a left turn the blinker arm doesn't return to the off position (you have to do it manually, the part to repair that is $16.), The A/C blows very cold but the fan only blows on high (which is not a problem for us down here), the drivers seat bottom is starting to show signs of wear, but these are all trivial items for a nice clean unrestored 27 year old car. These vehicles are starting to increase in value everyday and the prices are on the rise and have nowhere to go but up ! Do yourself a favor and get a piece of history and collect ability while they're still affordable. This is better than money in the bank ! BID WITH CONFIDENCE, you'll be very happy you did !
