1988 GMC Sierra SL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with my truck. The paint began to peal away, but my dealer repainted the entire truck for approx. $100.00 The remainder was covered under the origional warranty.
General comments?
I purchased this truck new in 1988 for approx. $12,500 and it was the best purchase I've ever made. I currently have over 232,000 miles on it and just this past July had to change the clutch for the first time. I've changed the tires twice, but other than normal maintenace, I've never had any major problem with it. I drive it still on weekends for household chores.
