Default Looking at Zr2's need advice

Totaled my 2k 4dr so looking at zr2's. I am going to look at these today. Will get a history report and see what that says. What would your advice be on them? I can do $5k cash and if I need more finance.
What would be a good offer on the 99 $6k?
and I will try $3600 on the 2k

2000 Blazer 2dr ZR2
2k zr2 134k $3980
under bluebook

1999 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 RED Automatic
99 zr2 90k $7888
over bluebook

Any input welcome.
Thanks for the help, I am in no huge rush, I just would like to have my own vehicle and not my dads.

I agree but if parts go out at 100k, then the 99 is coming up on that, and the 2k is past, but looks about $700-$1000 for parts for wheel hubs,brakes with rotors, ball joints, idler arm, and fuel pump.
The 2k has had some parts replaced so will see what he has all replaced.

That '99 is way overpriced, even at $6000 it's way too much. The 2000 seems ok, it's worth looking at

Just looked at the 99 over my lunch brake at school.
Did not drive it yet, has some problems, Needs something done with mirrors, they do not move and the driver side one has a crack, inside is clean, other then the crack in the gauge cluster. Rear glass supports don't work. Has mud flaps the rub when flexed. Has new tread, idles really nice. Some clear coat peeling above drivers door.
And Thanks for the input guys.

The power mirrors are no big deal to fix, I wired 99+ mirrors on my 98, it's an easy fix.

Look at the 2000. That is a rediculous price for the '99. Oh, wait, that is because it is at a dealer's lot which has no clue to the history.

looked at the 2k last night. has some problems, main problem is it has hesitation when floored, spider injectors? so that's a no, if winter was not coming would be an ok deal.
look at the 99, some problems, mainly the 4x4 would not work and also hesitation at WOT.
That's a no, don't even no why it would be for sale if the dealer did not fix it up.

looked at a 04 Sonoma crewcab, 133k, Mechanic owner from 50k dealer said with family discount $7800 witch would be good if the paint/body was in perfect condition but it has a bad drivers door(body damage) and the bed has alot of dings and dents from tie down straps.
