I agree - that vehicle is priced way too high for the value. Vehicles rarely sell for KBB price let alone above that price. If they do they are mint with very low mileage. By the time you add tax, license, dealer prep and (possibly) financing you'll have close to eight grand into a vehicle that's only worth about half that amount. I wouldn't be so anxious to jump on this one and look around for a better deal, but it's your money so do what is going to make you happy.

nope... loan got denied. my dad's work has a 97 4runner for sale its pretty beat needs a new front and rear bumper and a headlight, someone beat it up. the interior needs cleaned up and has 150,000 miles on it. I think they are gonna ask like $2000 or $2500 for it so I can pay in cash for that

probably going to get some steel bumpers for it make it look beefier. I don't think I'm gonna lift this one, just putting some a/t's and nicer wheels on it for now. probably a nice stereo

gonna keep a hold of everything until I get something new, but yea blazers can take some beatings but the truth is they really aren't meant for off road beatings, more of a family 4 wheel drive, maybe the occasional trails. drove my uncle's blazer the other weekend it does ok off road lol wasn't used to the ground clearance of a stock one
