Coach Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Selling this for my Dad. It's a 1984 GMC Jimmy. Very clean for it's age. I'll start with the good - that's the shorter list. Inside and out it looks great. It starts, runs and drives. Transmission is in great shape, new radiator, engine has a little over 30K miles. Ok, on to the bad. This was the truck I drove to high school back in the 80's. Afterward, my dad took great care of it but rarely drove it. Then my son drove it for a while and apparently ran it while low on oil. Currently, it runs really rough. I'd like to say it's a tuning issue, but I'd guess from running on low oil, at the very least the rings are toast - maybe worse. I won't mislead - the engine could be shot, I just don't know and at this point I'm not willing to invest in diagnosing it, so let's just assume the worst. The rust - as you can see in the pictures, there's some serious deep rust in that panel. 4x4 - not even sure if it engages anymore. Broken driver's seat - it leans back into low-rida position all by itself. That would have to be fixed if someone were to restore it. So, after that stellar sales pitch, let's talk $$. I don't know if this is a fixer-upper or a parts truck. My gut says it's worth $700 on the low side. I'm open to any cash offer. As for trades, I'd consider a Leica rangefinder. Pretty much set on other gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
