Vehicle Description
Searching for a sturdy SUV that's got sharp looks and the features
and road manners you'd want for everyday driving, but also
possesses surefootedness off the asphalt? This 1989 GMC K1500 Jimmy
SLE has you covered. It's a great-looking ride that's ready to
handle whatever challenges you send its way and, with only 57,000
miles on its odometer, holds the promise of miles and miles of
dutiful service to come.
Just a quick glance at this rugged-looking ride instills
confidence. Its deep red paint - the color it began life with - is
in nice shape and has a glossy "wet" appearance that serves as a
great backdrop for the black trim running its sides and contrasting
cover behind its cab. Up front, the dual twin rectangular
headlights are nice and clear in their black casings, and they sit
over a straight and level bumper lined with rubber pads that look
fresh and a well-aligned front grille that shows no signs of
running afoul of anything kicked up from the road. Step to the side
and you'll see this GMC's sturdy frame has served it well - its
body-length contour remains well aligned as it transitions from
front to back, indicating that no overexertion has caused any
distortion or bowing. Around back, the lift gate sports a clean
stretch of chrome trim and sharp badging. It's a road-ready looking
SUV for sure.
Because of its relatively light usage over the years, this gray
cloth interior has held up well. The front buckets have held onto
their shape, with plenty of padding still left to provide comfort
on even the longest of road trips, and the center console they
straddle is also in good shape and offers a lot of lockable storage
space. Just in front, the tunnel mounted lever sits within easy
reach to make engaging 4-wheel drive simple. With its trim still
smooth and a straight pad still in place, the dash area looks great
- you'll find the gauges in its cluster are all clear and easily
readable. One of the great benefits this SUV offers is the sheer
amount of space it provides - your backseat passengers will have
all kinds of legroom, with an appreciable amount of space in the
carpet-lined storage area behind them. While it's got all the
off-road ruggedness you could want, this Jimmy ably doubles as a
comfortable cruiser in everyday driving, with air conditioning
that's blowing strong and cold, tilt steering, cruise control and
power windows and door locks.
The drivetrain is also very much ready for action. There's a 5.7
liter V8 carrying a 4-barrel carb sitting under the hood in a very
clean engine bay, and with a turn of the ignition key you'll hear
it running strong and smooth. It pairs with a versatile 4-speed
automatic 700r4 transmission well suited to a variety of driving
conditions, and when you choose to stray from the road, its 4-wheel
drive surefootedness is easily enlisted - and the substantial wheel
clearance is there to take full advantage of it, as well.
Effortless power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes make for
easy navigation and dependable stopping power. This sharp-looking
SUV patrols the roads on a set of sizable 31x10.5 Laufenn tires
wrapped around 15" alloy wheels.
Looking great and running strong, this 1989 GMC K1500 Jimmy SLE is
ready to take you wherever you want to go. Call today!
