Wow, I wish mine was that clean when I bought it. Price is kinda high, but dealer prices always are on the high side. I say you got a nice deal. Great condition vehicles are hard to find. Mine as garage kept too. However it started showing signs of wear after I got it. I fixed the minor problems. Now I drive it hard and have to beef of putting my foot in it.

as a conditional I would have them do the intake gaskets with the good Fel-Pro ones and flush the coolant/heater core and go with green.
does the 4wd work? if it spent all it's time sitting I fear the encoder motor may be stuck

everything works great on the blazer. it was an older couples truck that they drove reguarly when they did go out.

It looks really clean! I think for where you are, the condition, the mileage and the fact it is from a dealer the price is fair.

Probably didn't come with a warranty either I'd bet. When we recently bought the wife's ZR2 we splurged and bought the 4 year extended warranty. Full coverage. Complete peace of mind. Cost us 2000 grand but could be well worth it. A trans costs more than that to replace.
Look into it. Warranties are available. Cost a few bucks but could be well worth it.
Anywho. Awesome looking clean blazer.

we got a carfax on it so everything we were told by the dealer checked out with the car fax so i am pleased. we are looking into an extended warreny too.
