1989 K5 Blazer - For Sale Denver, CO

[wjlljr1]

1989 K5 Blazer has been primarily a daily driver and weekend ski truck. It's got 297,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. I love the truck and it has been a great vehicle. I've owed it since 1990 and have maintenance records. It's been painted twice most recently last year. Everything works.

I took the vehicle in Friday and mechanic says I need new transmission. I can't see dumping $2,300 dollars into a vehicle that old (okay my wife can't see me dumping the dollars into a vehicle that old and she hates my truck). Does not burn any oil. There is one small dent on the front left fender near the headlight corner probably 2 inches long by half inch wide. I'll try to get some pictures to post later as it is at my mechanic right now.

I'd part it out but I've got no place to store it and my wife would divorce me if I had it on blocks in our driveway.

Anyway, make me an offer for the whole thing. I just want to make sure some one that loves K5's gets it. It's been a great truck.

Not sure what you are trying to get for it, but I bought my last 89, power, loaded everything for 1000 that needed a trans.

It needed a few minor things but was super clean, but not bad for 225,000mi

Pics would help

Due diligence
Well, the time has come for a few loose guidelines regarding what you should be doing if you are selling or buying something here at CK5.

We have always tried to help our members out and hope that all the transactions go smoothly. However, beyond banning someone for intentionally ripping someone off there is not much more we can do as Mod's.

So, "due diligence" basically means doing all that should be done to make sure there isn't any misunderstanding.

If you are selling something...

You must post a price, or what you expect in trade.

Be very clear in describing what you're selling. This is most important if there are multiple parts or partial deals. (eg: lift kit for sale...complete, or may sell individual parts seperately)

Take pic's of exactly what you're selling. If you're emailing pic's CC the email to yourself.

If you are using 'dibs' keep the list of interested buyers posted in the first post and update it as potential buyers drop out.

Save all your pm's until the deal is done and the buyer has indicated he is completely happy with what you sent. Be very clear about payment.

If there are updates or changes edit the thread title, make the edited part of the for sale thread easy to find. Post up a reply noting that the initial post has been edited or updated.

Buyers:

Make sure you understand exactly what it is that you're looking to buy. Post up your questions, or if you're pm'img save your pm's.

Ask for pic's of the exact part or item you're looking to buy. Ask specific questions about what is included and what isn't. Again, save all correspondance until the deal is complete.

Check and re-check the entire sale thread for any updates.

Get a tracking number, or whatever shipping info there is to be had. Make sure you understand the service level and what the cost of that will be.

When the item arrives, take some pic's and examine the item for any shipping damage. Check the packaging for clues it may have been mishandled. When everything checks out OK, send a pm or email to the seller inidicating everything is cool.

Clear communication is well over half the battle, do your part.

This reminds me of what a buddy of mine told his wife after she told him no way on a new engine for the K5
"I can't see dumping $2,300 dollars into a vehicle that old (okay my wife can't see me dumping the dollars into a vehicle that old and she hates my truck)."

He told her when she asked for implants almost the same thing. ' i cant see dumping 5k into that old thing' She went nuts but he held firm. He was my hero that day. lol
