JIMMMYY! - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By ahusson - June 8 - 9:44 amSo I got this 2000 GMC Jimmy at 165,000 miles, now it has 172,000 miles and it a complete money pit, but a life saver. I have spent $3500 in repairs in the last 6 months. Ive taken it to three different mechanics and technicians.Every single part on my brake is brand new, and the ABS light is still on. I cant afford to keep it anymore, so this is a good car if you are a mechanic or have a mechanic who knows who he is doing. BUT this has saved me through the winter. With All-Season tires it plowed through 2 feet of snow and 2 inches of ice. No weather condition stopped me, and I was incredibly thankful. (Maine Winter of 2014-2015)

204k miles & running - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By ztucker - October 4 - 11:08 pmI bought my Jimmy 7 years ago with 87k miles on it. Now it has 204k & has lasted pretty well. Id buy another one, but im really curious to how this "fuel efficient" life could be... My mechanic says wow the engine is built so strong. This last year was by far the worst, everything my diagnostic a few years ago told me would go wrong: did. But what do u expect? Main repeat issues: both doors kept breaking hinges. Both seat adjust handles were broken off from the time I bought it & its an impossible to fix, so no reclining my seats for 7 years. Heater stopped working 2 years ago (expensive fix to lift engine & change a $5 part). Engine light always on due to fuel cap being loose.

Money pit - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By money pit - August 4 - 7:02 pmWhen I finished making payments on this truck thats when everything started to go wrong. The transmission blew twice Im on my third one same for my alternator, water pump, ball joints and the front end, the fuel pump and the intake manifold had to be replaced twice. Then I had to replace the rear wiper motor and rear door lock, the front wiper motor, the radiator, the spider injectors, the front wheel bearings, the window and lock controls never worked right, the 4x4 actuator has to looked at before the first snow fall because it has failed me many times. Thanks to gmc Ill never never buy an American car! Again

A Solid All Around Vehicle - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By Teach2010 - March 24 - 6:52 pmIt doesnt have the greatest style, highway wind noise is way too loud, the plastic interior feels very cheap and the exterior design is very basic. Those are the cons. The pros are that it is a very reliable car. I have not had one problem with it. Its driving comfort is quite good and it is good for hauling. If what you want is a solid vehicle that is reliable and piratical for yourself or a teenagers first car. You would do well with this one.

GMC - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By gtsxtt - January 10 - 1:43 amThis SUV has only left me stranded when the alternator went out. I bought a new one 100$. The pitman arm was bad and caused swaying all over the road and unresponsive steering replaced it and it was all fixed. I am now at 102,000 miles and have had no other problems. I have maintained it myself per gm suggestions and it still runs like new no smoke or anything, I get 25mpg on premium when light on the throttle. Not much bad I can say about the vehicle. just maintain them and theyll run a long time. It has got me through 6 winters some snow ice and mud and a bunch of hills.

I want my money back. Also who let this off the engineers proof w/ out further inspection.

Not a favorite - 2000 GMC Jimmy
By HEIDI - July 24 - 1:49 pmBought this used. Had a 1995 Villager that need some money be put into it so figured would be better off with a newer vehicle. Well I was wrong. In the year since I have purchased this I have spent more money in repairs then I would have had to do to the Villager. Plus now a monthly payment. Fuel pump, hubs both sides, passenger needs it done again. Ball joints, brakes done right before I bought, needs COMPLETE brake job again. Its nice looking and good in the snow but thats about it. Dont buy. They are horrible.
