What do you guys think????

I have an offer for a straight up up trade, My 1992 chevy blazer, for his 1997 tahoe. Both vehicles are in comparable shape. I'm not overly crazy on the graphics as I prefer single colors, but I think I could live with it for awhile.
Sorry for the crappy pic of the tahoe, its all I got.
Any opinions?

Seems like a good deal on the surface for you. So much so that I would really check that Tahoe over.

Re: What do you guys think????

Mechanically it sounds like a good deal, if the hoe is in good shape...but your blazer looks awesome, and the graphics on the hoe make me throw up in my mouth a little...

I know that it would be a fairly good deal for me. Both trucks are for sale at $6000.00. I think the reason he is having trouble selling is the graphics. But that's only paint

Re: What do you guys think????

I don't know I kinda like that S-10 but that's just me. I would go over the tahoe with a fine toothed comb seems kinda like too good of a deal thing ya know. If you do get I hope the graphics are gone asap haha

I agree with above and with others on the funky paint, "Only paint" is expensive now days. IMO, I'd put some black door handles on that sharp blazer and keep on truck'n it....

Re: What do you guys think????

As much as I love the '88-'98 trucks, I just don't know that I could live with that paint. I think if it were me that if the Blazer doesn't have any major issues and you can still live with the smaller size, I'd keep it and move along until something better comes around. It's a good looking Blazer and, being a huge blue fanatic, it's much better looking.

That's no lie. It'll take several thousand to undo that paint scheme with a quality job.

If you really want a Tahoe, I say wait. You can find a clean, stock one for less money and not have to undo work done to someone else's tastes that don't jive with your own.

Re: What do you guys think????

Thanks for all the input, If it wasn't for the airbrushing the trade would already have been done. The more I look at the pics that he sent me, I just can't do it.
Thanks again.
