High quality parts? I have my doubt, they put on a set of Jinju tires which I've never heard of, I know there cheap tho. But like you said, better then worn parts. Thanks for your post......

Jinju? Sounds like some of those China tires to me. Drive slow!

Thats a dope looking Z, congrats.

Im considering one myself as opposed to a 4 door. Im not going to be doing that much off roading either but the Z's look better with a more rugged appeal, which is what Im going for and one of the main reasons I shopping for a Blaze.

If I run across a well kept 2 Door Z like you did, I'll rock with it.

Another reason i was unable to negotiate the price as much as I would have liked. But, it sounds like the truck is ready to go....
Wow. I was thinking that thing must have like 5K miles at the most.

Holy crap, thank God I decided on a ZR2, I would have never gotten through the entire state of Oregon and through Northern California as I just did, whoa. I'm a City boy, not used to driving in the snow and this truck made it much easier...Home safe, happy with the truck and I'll share more later........Rich

Rich, noticed in your pics that the plastic piece trim around the rear window is not damaged from the elements like 99% of them are. Good indication of being garage kept. Is that picture taken when you got home? She's a beauty, what kind of dog is it? LOL. Like the color.

Well, wanted to touchbase and say thanks for the comments. I've owned the truck now for a bit and Bo and I couldn't be happier. I did a complete service of the tranny, transfer case and the rear end, K&N filter, Magnaflow muffler, new floor mats and now sportin' our color's out back. When I picked the truck up in Oregon I was pleasently surprised to see a moonroof and the factory garage door opener system. The truck has all the bells and whistles and is in the condition the dealership promised me it was. I'm gonna change the plugs, cap, rotor and wires and call it good. Thanks again......Rich
