please someone reply asap i have thinking a lot about buying another 1984 k5 blazer needless to say it has a clean body and interior. worst part is that the tranny needs to be serviced, engine needs to be tuned up, it needs new gaskets, o rings, brake booster master cylinder. the guy wants 3k obo i offered 2k cash what is it worth in the condition

I'd say if you could get it for 2k you'd be doing pretty good. It would give you the extra 1k for repairs and such.

NADA books the low retail on a '84 K5 at $3000.

Low Retail Value
This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim, and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Most usable "as-is".

Some of the vehicles in this publication could be considered "Daily Drivers" and are not valued as a classic vehicle. When determining a value for a daily driver, it is recommended that the subscriber use the low retail value.

If it's driveable as is, 2K is on the generous side, given the amount of work that you said needs to be done. If it's not driveable - meaning you would have to tow it home - then I think you need to go lower.

Just my two cents. Keep in mind that I don't think I have $3000 in my truck, and I've owned it for 6 years.

he called me on the 14th and was like ill take the 2k but i am going to put the old tires on the truck which are 2 31'' and 2 33''. but he also said 2500 and he will leave the 33' mickey thompson baja claws on.

Trans. issues are $$$....

tranny problems get expensive quick even more so if its got a 700r4 i bought my 89 k5 for 1400 and it had tranny problems and put way more than that in it to make it drivable i would get him down cheaper

 

[meanboyjr]

When you say it needs the "tranny serviced", what exactly do you mean? Like others have said, trans problems can get expensive quickly, and you could easily drop another $1000+ on top of your purchase price if you need more than a basic flush, filter and fluid.

I would walk. Hell i wouldnt have even looked at it for anything more than a parts truck and even then i'd offer 1000 tops.
