Thats not entirely true! Even after the things that have need to be replaced and the mods I have chosen to do I've still spent far less money than I would have making payments on a new vehicle. Its all about how you look at it. If you look at short term it may seem expensive but look at it long term and its actuall a relativley cheap vehicle to own. Besides the shi*** gas mileage. But again average in the cost of that along with everything else and its still way cheaper than a new car payment every month!

I was comparing it to new in the sense that almost any used vehicle in the price range of a blazer is also going to need things fixed just like a blazer. Therefore the way to avoid feeling like you are constanly fixing something is to buy new! Even if you buy used but newer you are still looking at a pretty hefty car payment every month so the blazer still wins in my book!

Idk about out of the country but yes they do ship everywhere within our country. Shipping depends on how big your bulk order is. A couple items, shipping is ultra cheap, buy 10+, shipping gets a bit pricey
