1985 K-5 value

[el greco]

I am hoping someone can help me out so that I can keep an older friend of mine from being taken.

He is finally ready to sell his 1985 K-5 Blazer, but some of his so called friends in the used car business are telling him it isn't worth much ($1500). I think they're trying to rip him off.

Here are the details of what he has:

One owner, never been wrecked, and has less than 150,000 miles.

It is a 305 SBC with automatic, A/C (this is Texas after all), P/B, P/S. It is two tone black / gray if I remember right. He has real nice BF Goodrich A/T tires too.

Besides the 305 instead of 350 SBC, the only problems are a cracked windshield and a piece of side trim that is coming loose.

So I am pretty sure this is a very popular truck. Can anyone please tell me what kind of price range this vehicle might fall into so that I might advise him. I would have bought this 6 years ago, but I am not in a postion to buy at this time. I am doing this for him.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. He may have me post a classified ad after I pass on info.

Thanks,
Tony
