Re: Hello from the new guy
Congrats on the new truck! I hope you got it for cheap. That's the one I called and emailed for 2 weeks getting info, drove 2.5 hours one way in the early morning to beat traffic, looked at for 5 minutes and walked away from.
I really enjoyed how the ad and he himself claimed 'no rust' only to find the large hole in the rocker panel behind the driver's door and around the bottom of the doors (where I stopped looking). He also claimed 'new' weather stripping and a complete 'redo' in his shop. I am by no means knocking you or your purchase, and I really hope you enjoy the truck. Just slightly ticked at being lied to CONSTANTLY about vehicles and conditions. If it has rust, say so; If you don't have a title, say so; If you tried to do a paint job and screwed it up, say so!! Sheesh! Count yourself lucky, my search continues! The truck I am replacing:

Re: Hello from the new guy
Welcome from up the road a bit in Bellevue. Looks nice. Where did you find it? Try to bring it to the truck show at XXX ROOT BEER (http://www.triplexrootbeer.com/) on July 22nd. I think it would be great if we could get a lot of board members to bring their rigs again this year...

Yeah this truck was in Bonney Lake. Yeah I called him on the "no rust description" in the add. I could tell he was a bull$h1tter... But I was pleased with the truck and every other blazer I looked at was a rust bucket. I talked him down on the price. Last edited by rikyric; 04-16-2007 at 10:02 PM. |

Re: Hello from the new guy
Since I got it home I have been going over it, the transfer case seems to be leaking, noticed the gas tank has a small leak also. I asked the guy what gears he had in it and he didnt know. I assume its a turbo350 with a NP205. Did these truck come stock with 410 gearing? Speedo doesnt work and he said the tilt is not oem, I'll take more pics and post em up.
Hopefully you guys can help me out here.... Everyone here seems to be really helpfull. |

COOL! I'm glad you found the rust, he was trying to act like he had no idea. Good job on the lower price; He was firm at $6800 when I looked at it. |

I got in the truck and my wife said 'I knew we wouldn't be taking anything when we drove up and saw the condition of the house and trucks' Like an idiot, I sold the 'burb, (I loved that truck) because I wanted a convertible blazer - just thought it would be easy to find one, but not yet. |
