Question time to get rid of my ZR2's

Hi all, I'm new here, could use a little feedback from this group. I have 2 ZR2 Chevy Blazers, they're just dying a slow death in my driveway, so I think it's time to get rid of them. One is a white 2000 ZR2 that was great - bought it off lease in 2003. The other is a black 2005 ZR2 that I purchased in about 2013(?), but that one has given me trouble with the 4x4 system. I don't know which (if either) I should try to keep, there's arguments for and against to be made for both vehicles. I was thinking I would try to keep the '05 b/c it was the last year they were made, and, if I remember correctly, there was only a limited number produced that year based on the amount of parts GM had on hand - so there's an element of rarity/collector value there. But, mechanically it's not 100%. The other truck is older, but was in perfect mechanical condition. So, thoughts/questions/comments all welcome as to which one I should get rid of first, or just let them both go.

Thanks in advance!

Sucks when it comes to this point, if you could keep one, I would keep the one that runs the best. But if you got time and money to fix the 05, then I would keep that one instead.

Don't make your decision based on any idea of rarity or collectability of these vehicles; it's not, and won't, be there. Just go with the one you want to keep.

2000 is cheaper to register and insure by five years. I like the column shifter vs the newer floor shifter too.

Keep the one with the least issues. I spent over $5000 bringing my 2000 back to life mechanically. I don't regret it because I love this thing, but I definitely could have bought something with less issues for that money.

Didn't the 98+ ZR2s all have floor shifters?
