I got some better pics. The low res Craigslist pics were hiding some wrinkles in the drives door. Hmmm wonder if he’d take 5k…. The build sheet says tan top and it looks like it may have been repainted white which is fading but overall paint is decent for being original

Damnit, I better still go test drive it, going to ask if he will go any lower.

Good luck finding anything cleaner and in that price range.

Here is a link that will allow you to search nationwide.

My Bro just paid just under 10k for a 1988. It was 8k for the Blazo then he paid his son in law to rebuilt the springs, shocks and alignment.

There’s virtually no way that isn’t a complete pile of _____.
No pics…lol
Length of time for sale at that price for supposedly running driving straight Blazer.
I guess if you live down the street from the seller and the seller actually responds it may be worth driving by. But this add screams “don’t bother.”

Not really sure what you are expecting to find for $5k.
Never can tell without seeing in person, but aside from the hole cut in the dash, I don’t see anything that says that ain’t worth the price he’s asking.
And icbw but I don’t think it came with a matching color topper. And if it did, who cares. You’re either keeping the paint like it’s, with flaws or repainting it anyway.
Prices are definitely much softer than a couple three years ago. But barring something horrible and hidden like all the floor pans are rotted out (not likely by the pics ) then this is worth the price. IMO.

GO GET IT! Man that thing looks clean! Maybe that’s just because I’m used to seeing PNW trucks up here where rust is everywhere. 6k seems very reasonable in my opinion. Good luck :D

Maybe I’m stupid but… I’d head down the street and give it a look. Looking don’t hurt and neither does buying if it happens to be in good shape. Just my 2 cents. :33:
