FIRST & LAST GMC
I bought this Jimmy used with only 26000 miles & was in for repair several times. The brake/tail lights failed, weatherstripping popping off, driver door hinge had to be repaired, passenger side ball joint replaced, reverse lights stayed on through all gears & a switch had to be replaced a week after getting it back from the shop. The transmission failed & had to be rebuilt at about 41K miles. The dealer seemed to do everything right the first time & I only had to pay for one repair. They paid for the transmission even though it was out of warranty. I just can't keep a car I never get to drive. This is my first & last GMC.
Pretty Good SUV! SLS, 2dr, 2w dr.
The main issue I have with the SUV are the blind spots, very hard to see people coming up beside you, in parking lots, etc., you really have to turn your head, because I don't trust the mirrors, all the time, esp. in heavy traffic, when driving. I had a problem with the radiator early on, because GMC told customers to put the wrong antifreeze in it, after pouring stop leak in for yrs & replacing coolant way too much, I finally replaced the radiator in 2012. It does go through alternator's, fairly quick, over 20yrs, I've replaced the alternator 3x's. I also replaced the fuel pump in 2013, the drivers side motor for the electric window, & once the orginal distributor cap goes(mine lasted for at least 12yrs), you will have to replace it about every yr, but I got one from Autozone, priced around $50, cap & rotor, w/ a lifetime warranty & they replaced it for free. Everything else has been basic repairs for its age. I do think for a $20,000+ SUV, the interior could've been built a little better. I have really made the effort to take care of the interior, replaced sm. broken pieces or had them repaired, so it doesn't look like its 20yrs old! This truck has only left me stranded 1 time & it was my fault for not having it looked at when the alternator started to go the 1st time. I can't say that about many cars, esp. at this age!

2000 Jimmy runs forever but...
Engine and transmission very good. It's all the little stuff that breaks. It will keep running but could nickle and dime you to death. Runs fine at 228,000 miles.

Car from hell
I bought this car with 21k miles on it and from day one it has been hell. I had to repalce the fuel pump 2 times, the alternator, the ball joints on all tires, the driver and passenger door hinges, the catalytic converter, the muffler, all 3 oxygen sensors, the moonroof motor, shocks, the driver side window motor. Let's not forget to mention that I have to replace brakes every year and the fact that my fuel light comes on at about 170-180 miles on a fulltank of gas. Stay away from this truck. It is fun to drive, but it will always be in the repair shop.
Average in all regards
Got my 2000 Jimmy when it had 32,000 miles. Overall, I've liked it, although it's been about average in all regards. Had to do little maintenance repairs pretty frequently ($100 here, $70 there), and "major" repairs have included front rotor and fuel pump, which hurt the pocketbook. Also own a Toyota, which has more miles on it but has required fewer repairs, which doesn't build confidence in the Jimmy. Like the engine for a V6 and the vehicle is fun to drive. Interior is average, back seats not too comfortable for full-sized person. Lots of room with rear seats folded down.
