JAK Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I am out of my league when it comes to post war cars. Friend stopped by today and has decided to sell his 1995 Yukon . He is second owner, 284K miles, white, leather interior. They moved here from the south and I did not see any obvious rust. Located 90 miles west of Hershey and it can be in the flea market. I know nothing about values or interest in such things and am just trying to help a friend so please don't be to hard on me. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 We won't be hard on you. Mr. JAK is a noted steam-car expert in these parts and has consulted on steam cars across the country. This being 2019, wouldn't a car have to be 1994 or earlier, though, to be in the flea market? (Even though the 2020 models are now in showrooms.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Gracious me, hope the Hershey car corral doesn't emulate the Carlisle idiocy, Suburbans Andy pickups and a few collector cars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RansomEli Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 JAK, Pre-1992 Suburbans are where the interest lies -they are climbing in value. The 1995s are still dormant as collectibles. If you go on AutoTrader you can find 1995 Yukons/Suburbans with a lot less mileage in nice shape for reasonable prices. If I bought a Yukon with 284K miles, I would plan on having to rebuild the transmission for $1,200-$1,800. Figure that amount into the purchase price. Now, if you converted it to steam, you'd have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAK Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well John and David, what if he sold some of my pre 1920's parts out of the back of his Yukon located in my flea market space I was thinking, he drives me to Hershey with my parts in back, sitting in my space looking after my stuff while I travel around looking to spend money. This grand gesture of mine would satisfy so many folks, those who grumble about people just parking there, no early parts, no buyers and on and on. You guys have dashed my hopes! Guess I'll have to stay home since I can't afford the gas to get there. Eli he did have the transmission rebuilt some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockingchairmotors Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That works!!! You can drive anything into the Flea Market. Only the car corral is 25 years or older. So let us know where your flea market spaces are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about the differential, they tend to go on those 1500 series trucks anywhere after 150K miles on up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
