My '89 S-15 Jimmy turned out to be rolled back 50K
miles back in the early '90s, according to CARFAX. On
top of that, I found this out through someone who was
going to buy it from me and had already put down
earnest money. Oy gevalt.

However, the PO did put in a new 4.3, which now has
35K on it, and I've kept it well-maintained, so I
guess the vehicle is worth more to me kept than sold.
That juicy 4.3 sure would look good in the back of my
Vgon anyway.

Lesson: always run a CARFAX before you buy something,
because you never know what will happen when you try
to sell it later. Trust me, you REALLY don't want to
get burned like I did.
