ok i will.the dealer will pay you cash for your car or truck on the spot.so i am going to sell my 2004 jeep liberty which i can not afford anymore.to pay off the car is around $2350 which i don't have so the kelly blue book value for it is around $10,000 and it only has 44,900 miles on it.and it is a gas guzzler.how are the gas mileage on the blazers?

gas millage on blazers isn't very good be prepared to get 15 mpg on a good day. blazers are good if you're not planning on lifting it or modding it heavily. I was gonna say they don't have a whole lot of cargo space but if you are going from a liberty they are bigger than those. As far as the 4.3L engine they are very good will run a long time, other than that they are pretty good if you just want a 4wd suv to drive you around. I'd would try and get that price down thats how much I paid for mine 3 years ago

Inverting 17 on average with minimal highway driving. Could be better if I kept my foot out of it lol.
I have 205k on mine. Bought it a year and a half ago with 178k. I've had to do a lil work to it but it was expected and I'm not complaining. I'd drive it any where. And if someone says it wont do something ie ull a 1 ton out of a ditch, It always proves them wrong.
