You gotta do what you gotta do
I’ve been putting this off for a few months now, but there is no way around it any more. A combination of budget cuts in education (can’t go back to being a teacher), of me going back to school, housing issues my family is going through, and rising prices in general…
I have to put my ride up for sale. I have posted it for sale in the classified section. (I don’t think this constitutes cross posting right?) I am only listing it here and maybe CL for now. At this point the crisis is not bad enough were I have to be actively selling it, but things are bad enough were I can’t justify keeping such an expensive toy. Oh well, just got to suck it up I guess.

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
Man, I wish I had the cash. That is one of the nicest 2wds I can think of. If you listen closely, you can probably hear the many gears spinning in my head right now.

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
Yeah I know the feeling. I have a company car, my K5 and a 2006 Dodge that I am making payments on. I love the Dodge Cummins as a weekend vehicle especially because my K5 is always torn apart. But it is getting real hard to justify the cost when I have the company car that I can drive whenever. I might have to let something go as well if I don't get a raise or win the lottery. You have a BEAUTIFUL Blazer. If I had a 2wd I would basically copy yours. If you do end up selling, I hope it goes to a loving home.

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
Just got back from the 'Trucks for Sale' section and figured I would follow up here to see if you posted about it - sure enough...
To put it bluntly - that sucks. Your Blazer has given me some great ideas for my other trucks and it will be sad to see it go - hopefully the next buyer will take great care of it (and join the board so we can still drool over it) -  Too rich for me - but it appears to be in the right price range for the quality of your truck. Best of luck to you and in your sale. |

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
I know how you feel. I just sold my truck a month ago, and the Harley yesterday.

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
That sucks, I hope you end up being able to keep it but good luck with the sale anyways.

Re: You gotta do what you gotta do
Thanks everybody for the positive words. I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this stuff.
