Savannah - But willing to travel for serious buyer

Great running Diesel Blazer. Has some little problems here and there. Has some rust here and there. Tranny is acting up on the wifes trailblazer. Took it to the service shop and it doesnt look good. Gotta sell it. Selling it for what I have in it. Thanks

Get approx 23mpg on the freeway running 70mph. Average 17-20 around town depending on how much you keep your foot out of it. If your interested you can come by and check it out and we can talk about the little details.

The "Bad List"
- Radiator (Has small leak on the inside of the radiator for the tranny/ oil cooler line - DOESNT RUN HOT AT ALL just leaks a little amount of fluid on the inside of the radiator)
- Oil Sending Unit (Reads perfect oil pressure at idle. When you tap the gas pedal it pegs the oil pressure. COMMON issue with these old k5 diesels)
- Passenger Window Motor ( Cleaned contacts and it worked good for a day. New motor is $35)
- A/C Compressor (I had compressor rebuilt by a good friend. It held a charge for about 4 days and apparently he didnt rebuild it right. Was frosty cold for a couple of days)
- 8 lug kit for 10 bolt front axle (Didnt finish the 8 lug hub conversion in the front. $150 for parts at junkyard or you can keep running it like it is)
- Speedometer gauge quit working. I replaced speedo gear and cable. Actual gauge is bad. I use a cheap GPS in it for speed. Its free with the rig.
- No Radio (cheap fix)
- Could use new carpet in front
- Door Panels are ugly so I took them out (still got them in garage)
- Fiberglass repair on lower driver door doesnt look so hot but its effective (rust repair).
- Back interior panels, backseat, and top are out of the blazer right now. Was planning on getting it Rhino Lined in a couple of weeks and started prep work. I can reinstall.

I AM TRYING TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS RIG. It really does run great. I had a huge list of items I wanted to build it with.

CASH - $2250 obo (NO THAT DOESNT MEAN I WILL TAKE A GRAND, HAHA)

Yes Sir. I started pulling the interior out getting it ready to go to the rhino liner shop but its on hold until i find out if i am going to be able to pick up a new toy truck for the boat. let me know what you think.
 
$1600 FIRM - Great deal in my opinion. Got more than that in rebuilding teh axles and etc. Anywho. Willing to trade for bang sticks, ammo, or just about anything. Going to go buy a new truck in three weeks and need to get the garage cleaned out.
