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!
