so a buddy has an 85 blazer, rebuilt 350 and all around very straight and clean vehicle. It is 4wd and red and white two tone..... any Idea what it is worth.... he said make an offer

**old Rusty C10** · 08-04-2011, 10:01 PM

kinda hard to tell without pics

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-04-2011, 11:46 PM

Got any pics that would greatly help. I would kinda add everything thing up thats done to it and subtract anything that needs to be fixed might give u a ball park figure to go on.

dukcaln · 08-04-2011, 11:53 PM

i will see if he will text me a picture or two

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 12:14 AM

here are some pictures... motor was rebuilt 50k ago....converted to the new style a/c stuff. seats are updated and are power...everything works... clean body and runs great..

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 11:13 AM

got to give this dude an offer today... I know he wants to sell it and has not advertised it yet... he did tell me that it has been non op for 5 years and driven to the store down the road and back once ot twice a week for this time.... he has 11 vehicles and said he just wants to sell his stuff...... he said any decent cash offer will be good. He did say it didn't pass smog because it needs some carb adjustment... He is a really good friend of the family and I trust him not to sell me a junker that would cost an arm and leg to fix.... so what do you all think for an offer

Chlsnk · 08-05-2011, 12:05 PM

Wouldn't give him more than $2000

veinbar · 08-05-2011, 12:23 PM

That's a really nice Blazer... It would be awesome if you could get it for $2000, but that offer might offend him. Maybe acknowledge that it's worth more, but tell him what you honestly have to spend... I hope you get it. I'm thinking he's going to want $4k or so. A guy with 11 cars is sure to know what a vehicle is worth. There's no fooling him.

motornut · 08-05-2011, 02:41 PM

tell him 2000.00 but i'm worried about it may have issues
do you etest and stuff?
offer another 500 in two weeks
and 500 more two weeks after that
but you don't wana be short $$ if something happens and it's gona cost to fix it

PS sweet truck btw, here could ask $5000.00
hope it works out you get it

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 02:48 PM

sent the dude a text...offered him $2000.... so we will see

veinbar · 08-05-2011, 02:51 PM

Good luck man. I hope you get it. That would be a score and a half. Give us real time updates.

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 02:56 PM

well I hope it works out, I plan on making it a daily driver..... dumpimg my duramax and its hefty monthly payment....

Wow! wouldn't that be amazing? a beautiful daily driver like that, and not car payment... Although I hate to hear that a duramax is getting dumped. It usually does the dumping.

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 03:03 PM

I hear ya, but I do love the d-max it is a awsome ride... but I think the money will be better spent in the bank towards a new house payment..... plus I could put a few hundred into the blazer and make it nice.... get away from the $$$ of diesel fuel it is $4.10 a gallon... not to mention the $500 monthly...... what do you think the blazer will get for milage with a good tune up
check it out......

veinbar · 08-05-2011, 03:14 PM

13-14 mpg max. some guys on this forum might even call that a stretch.

dukcaln · 08-05-2011, 03:28 PM

cool, I hear ya.... I prob get 15-16 in the dmax.....LOL

dukcaln · 08-06-2011, 01:44 AM

so, i got a text back from the dude..... my offer of 2k looks pretty good. Dude said that he thinks he will take it....all I need to do is go look at the truck now.....

motornut · 08-06-2011, 06:16 AM
