2005 GMC Sierra SLE Z71 4x4 Only 65K Original Miles Southern Truck

2005 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Z71 Description

THIS ITEM IS BEING RELISTED DUE TO A NON-PAYING BIDDER WHO WON THE ORIGINAL AUCTION, BUT DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE TRUCK. As you can tell from my feedback, I have sold a few of my personal vehicles on eBay over the past several years with 100% positive feedback. I have never had any problem with non-paying bidders and fraudulent bids until this past auction. If you don't have funds or don't intend to follow through with competing the purchase at auction end, DO NOT BID. I hate having to state the obvious, but apparently some people do not understand. I will not hesitate to report non-paying bidders.

DESCRIPTION

Up for sale is my 2005 GMC Sierra SLE Z-71. I am the second owner of this truck, having purchased it from the original owner in 2014. Both original owner and I are mechanical engineers, and this truck has been very well maintained and used sparingly. It has never been used for work, only transportation.This Sierra has 65,120 original miles as of today 5/11/2017.This is a great truck and I am selling it reluctantly, but needed to make the change to a Tahoe to accommodate our growing family. Has never been smoked in.

All maintenance has been performed on (or usually way ahead) of schedule. All fluids (including coolant, transfer case, front and rear differentials, and brake fluid) were changed at approximately 50K miles. Oil has been changed consistently every six months. Every feature works with the exception of the CD player (which does not play when I recently tried it). The A/C is blows ice cold. Runs and drives excellent. Tires and brakes have approximately 15K miles on them. I just installed new MOOG front wheel bearing assemblies and ABS sensors. No check engine light or ABS light, truck has no known issues and is ready to drive anywhere.
Overall condition is very good. If you are looking at this truck, then mostly likely you are aware that the rockers and cab corners commonly rust. These areas are completely solid on this truck, as shown in the photos. It has only been in the Chicago area for approximately 4 years, during which I've kept it garaged and washed frequently in winter. There are normal chips, small scratches, and dings commensurate with 12 years or road use, but far better than average. There is one small dent on the lower bed side behind the rear wheel on each side, not sure what caused this but it was like that when I got it and never bothered to fix. Additionally, there is an area below the driver's exterior door handle which appears as though someone attempted to break-in. Again, this was present when I bought the truck and I did not attempt a complete repair but did touch-up with GM paint to prevent rust. Condition is well above average and constantly draws compliments, but please don't expect perfection as it's a 12 year old vehicle.
I encourage in-person inspection if possible. I will make every effort possible to answer questions accurately and quickly. Truck is located in Itasca, IL 60143.

Also, to be clear, due to the level of scams going on, I will only take payment by wire transfer or cash. For security and confidence of both parties, a cash transaction can be done at a local Chase Bank branch.
