I am selling my 1998 GMC Jimmy. It has 188,000 miles on it, 50k of which I put on it myself in the 3 years I owned it. I did a lot of traveling, so it saw the freeway quite a bit.
When I bought it, it had all kinds of little things wrong, mirrors were missing, etc. I dumped quite a bit of money into it fixing it up. It has premium aftermarket rotors in the back as of '05, and premium aftermarket brakes all around that are about a year old. The rear differential was replaced in '05, as well as both side mirrors and the windshield. I had a major tune-up and had the transmission serviced about a year ago.
I've babied it since I've owned it. I put a JVC CD/MP3/XM/iPod receiver in it with iPod connections. I also replaced the factory speakers all with high end Eclipse speakers. It is wired for XM, but I no longer have a subscription. It also has an alarm on it. I plan on leaving all of this in it when it is sold.
Interior is tan, and I keep it pretty clean most of the time. I replaced a bunch of misc interior pieces when I first got it.
Here are some of the highlights of the vehicle:
Leather Interior
Heated Seats (wonderful in the winter)
Push button 4x4 (was a godsend in these past blizzards)
AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM/iPod Receiver
Eclipse speakers throughout
6cyl 4.3L High Output engine (Runs great! Lots of power!)
Newer rear differential
Newer brakes and rotors
Newer all weather tires (LOTS of tread left)
Lifetime alignment at Firestone (have documentation)
Automatic transmission
Power Windows
Power Locks
Power Seats
Power Moonroof
The bad:
Rear wiper doesn't work. Hasn't since I have owned it. I replaced the motor, but 5 minutes later it died again. No idea what is wrong with it.
It does have some scrapes on the sides, and it looks like the previous owner may have backed into something. The corner of the rear bumper is pushed in slightly. Most people don't notice it unless they are looking for it, it's pretty minor.
It does have rust in a few spots. Nothing too major.
I took it to a shop and got an estimate to fix the scrapes and rust for under $600.
I'm not trying to tell people this is a perfect vehicle. For it's age, it looks pretty good, and it runs great! It would be a great "first car" or a car for a kid in high school or college. It's already got the stereo system in it, it's already got some marks on it, so it's not a huge deal if it gets dinged up a bit. Interior looks great, and it's got an alarm on it.

Kelly Blue Book for this (without the stereo/alarm) is between $2800 and $3700. I've invested thousands into the repair and maintance, and another $1400 for the stereo system and alarm. $4000 for this is a steal! http://images.craigslist.org/01010201030301160720080408b140e475d46bd5220f00c40f.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/01010201150201030520080408a388145f1a354eac70000d20.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/01011001020301160220080408216d726b539f54c496003774.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/01010001150401030720080408a56d9544077821b43800ed1c.jpg
