Default New Member from Philly looking to get his first Blazer/Jimmy

Hello everyone! Happy to be here, I'm actually here in search of a Blazer/Jimmy (possibly a Bravada, but I'm not a big fan of OLDS to be honest). This would be the first one I'd own, but my family has had Blazers for years, and I've always loved them. I test drove a 97 today, but it was just a nip out of my budget... I'm really looking to get in to a Blazer or a Jimmy, without breaking my bank (doesn't need to be spectacular, just good running, and relatively clean inside, as I'll be transporting my newborn son in it).

I'm sure there is a rule that new members can't use the classifieds until a certain number of posts or something, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thank in advance!

Not sure where in philly you are but here in the far northeast there are probably a hundred or so used dealers (including bristol,langhorne morrisille ect). I have found my last two blazers this way.

Gpg funny you should mention, I wound up getting a 98 jimmy envoy (that's what they said) from Gordon Chevy on the blvd. they were selling it on eBay and I missed the last bid by 2 seconds. The truck has 115k miles on it, but she runs great. All (that I know) I have to do is change the front tires which I have and get her inspected.

If you are familiar with the area try the dealer (red building i think) at Street Rd and Old lincoln hyw. He's done me a couple of state wide "dealer/auction" searches in the past. Good guy too i just forgot the name...
