My new ride

Just picked up a 99 GMC Jimmy today. Thing is nice it has a Sunroof, heated leather seats, power windows, power locks and power seats, CD player its basically the top of the line model. It had one owner and he took every good care of it. So far I like it so much more then the 94 Crown Vic I was driving. The car is pretty clean inside and out for having almost 200,000 miles on it.

Nice pick up MNfit. Looks like a good buy. Hey I know you're from MN but don't let that truck/4x4 combo fool 'ya into a false sense... Your best bet is still between the ears. lol

oh of course I wont let that happen. I always lol at the trucks and SUVs in the ditch. Im just saying last winter with how low my car was and all the snow it was a PITA getting around. I was plowing the streets almost every where I went and actually got stuck twice. With the 4X4 it will have much better ground clearance and the chance of getting stuck is alot less.

I had a 2003 GMC Sonoma - basically the same vehicle from the B-pillars forward, though mine was the pretty basic trim.

I thought it had some pretty awesome ergonomics - nice big seats, lots of legroom, everything felt very sturdy.

The 4.3 V-6 is a sweet engine... I think yours has 180 or 190 HP. With a Hypertech programmer, intake and exhaust changes it'll get up and go... The interior looks amazing.

Just ordered a Kenwood Deck so I can rock out to my Iphone and some LED interior lights. After that tint the front windows and this will be set for daily driving.

The seats are very nice, I can tilt the searts forward/back lift it up/down and it's got ajustible lumbar support. The leg room is nice but u don't think any thing can company to the leg room I had in the 94 Crown Vic.
