Need advice, What's this Blazer worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CoyoteCustoms · 10-24-2009, 01:50 PM

I am currently building a 81 swb but the wait to drive my old truck again is killing me so I started looking for something to cruise in until I finish the 81. I found this Blazer locally and I have looked at it once but it definatly needs some work but I think it would be a good project down the road.

The owner says it runs a drives. It has a 350. It has been lowered with a DJM lowering kit. The paint is rough and someone shaved the door handles on it. I have him down to $3000. Is it worth it? I know they are rare finds.

Thanks for any advice.

offer him 2500 and see what he will do

**N2TRUX** · 10-24-2009, 02:49 PM

73-75 so it's a full top truck. It looks like it might have rust in the rear rocker, but doesn't appear to have it over the tire.

If the motor and transmission are solid and the interior isn't junk, 2500-3000 is not a bad deal. I would try for 2200 and go from there. If you pass on it, let me know. I have a buddy that will be interested.

Times are tough, I would see what a $2000 offer got for a response. I love all the full convertibles so it is probably worth more!

Have $2000 cash in hand show it too him and see what he says. Cash talks.

Cash always helps. I know in my area these are just about impossible to find in any condition. $3K is not bad in my book.

Thanks for all the help. I was thinking $3000 was a good price and he told me today he would take $2500. I am going over there Tuesday to drive it so I will let you guys know what happens.

It has the usual rust but I have done welding my whole life so that is not the issue. Wish me luck.

Just remember, if he told you he wanted $2500, he'll probably take a little less. If you offered 2500 and he said he'd take it, be careful about trying to go lower some people may get the feeling you are trying to rip them off.

Offer him $2500 out the door so he pays all the taxes and registration costs. He should take it.

**texassquarebodies** · 10-25-2009, 03:02 PM

Always offer less than someone is asking. You may hurt there feelings but, also you could have you some greenbacks. All they can say is no.

GmtGmt · 10-25-2009, 03:25 PM

i would take it for $2500 if i was you
but if you want it cheaper offer him $2300
the guy i bought mine off wanted $4500 i offered him $3600 the next day it was mine

CoyoteCustoms · 10-25-2009, 03:57 PM

I would take it at $2500 but I might see if he will go lower. I am getting a test drive with it Tuesday. My head is spinning already with things to do to it but I have to finish the SWB first.
