I payed $2k for my '89 Blazer S10 Sport 4.3 4x4 with 55k miles on it at the time (now 62k). KBB says it's worth just over $2100, but I've seen ads for Blazers in my area, 4x4 or not, for around $1000, granted not in as good condition as mine. I've also seen guys on here saying they've bought newer model Blazers/Jimmy's for the same price as I payed for my 1st gen. So... did I get ripped off?


I don't really mind either way, I love my truck, and IMO it's worth every penny I've spent/put into it, I was just wondering.

 

Then nope.

Seriously though. It sounds like a good clean ride and well worth it.

 

Sounds about normal. Id love to find a 91 ext cab 4.3 5speed with low miles for that price. I paid only 350 bucks for my 93 fully loaded 4x4 ... Lot of miles and everything was broke

they want 2500 here...

 

I would worry about age effects on rubber components from sitting because a 20+ year old vehicle with that low of miles did a lot of sitting. If everything looked clean/functional and it works good, then that price wouldn't be out of the question.

 

Nah. My friend owns an '88 Blazer with 118k and he bought it for $1500.

 

It all depends on where you live, if you live in the snowbelt areas, say, wisconsin then you pay more for 4 wheel drives to get you around in the winter, than say, Florida.
I have seen junk that they were asking a fortune for, and people that run across a steal of a deal(couldn't get it cheaper with a gun in hand).
As long as you love it and are happy with it, then that's all that matters.

 

Rubber components weren't that bad, I only had to change the upper control arm bushings, and the weatherstripping around the doors had started falling off. They weren't even cracked or anything, they looked like they might have been replaced pretty recently prior to me buying it, I just had to re-glue them.

I believe so!
