curious about buying a blazer
hello everyone.i am thinking about buying a used 2000 blazer lt with 98,000 plus miles on it and i am hearing stories about people not having any heat and fuel gauge problems do you think i shoud buy it.thanks

why not those things are fixable but your gonna have a decent truck to last you a lifetime

Every vehicle has it's quirks, there's really no way for anybody to say if it'll be a good truck, or if it'll blow up in month..
My 2001 has 139K on the clock, fuel gauge acts up below 1/4 tank, needs shocks... Cranks up every time though and I wouldn't hesitate to take her across country, infact I'm leaving here Friday morning and driving it 7 hours to Pensacola, Fl. Did I buy it thinking it would last a "lifetime"? No. Do I plan on owning it a lifetime? No. Do I think it's reliable / safe enough to put my family in? Yes. Look it over really well, if it looks good buy it, if not walk away. |

My 01 Blazer has a little over 130K miles on it... Sure i fixed a few things on it like my fuel gauge didnt work accurately sometimes it would go from empty to full on a drive or my heater core had to be replaced but besides that i believe my blazer will still operate perfectly for many years to come
|
These things last forever, mine has 280k on stock motor and trans. Yes the fuel gauge acts up every once in awhile but overall its a great vehicle that will last you a LONG time if that's what you're looking for
|
thank you all for the advise.does it cost that much to replace the heater core and the fuel gauge.
|
heater core cost around 700 bucks to replace with labor cause its a pain to change
and the sending unit (gas gauge) not sure cause i changed it my self on our trucks |
do you think a extended warranty would cover the cost of replacing the core and the gauges?
|
extended warranty meaning? your buying from the dealer?
