I was going to sell the Jimmy but it seems that its market value is about $1,000 with the 4WD not working. It has some other issues too, but its got about $800 worth of almost new rubber on it, and it has some practical uses so I guess ill just keep it and maybe fix the 4WD.

The AC runs pretty cold on it. In fact i just had the compressor replaced and some seals and hoses to the tune of about $800 just two summers ago.

No way I'd sell that truck for a grand. It's worth fixing.

Its a case where its practical value out weighs its market value

I think their retired. But they live near you. I bet if you sent them an invite on the back of a 40" Sony KDL40R450A LED HDTV with 1080p resolution, and Two full-range 8W speakers, 2 HDMI inputs, and a USB port and mailed it to their house, they might join the board and crack some jokes around here.  ;D
