Well I have been looking at k5 blazers for a while and found one that is in decent condition. the problem is that i dont know what its worth. i was hoping you guys could help me out like we do on the camaro forums and tell me what you think is a fair price for this vehicle.
1987 K5 Blazer
200,000 miles.
Engine rebuilt at 188,000 miles.
Moving, don't need it any more.
Tires are almost new.
Very good cloth interior.
New floor pans, seats reinforced.
Also could use new ujoints on the front outer half shafts.
Engine and tranny are fine.
There is some rust around the rear wheel wells.
plowed 2 driveways, for two seasons.
The exhaust needs a doughnut on the passenger side
the front left caliper is sticky.
It could use a front end alignment and a tune up. The guy I bought it
from, never had it realigned after installing a 3 inch suspension lift. It drives "OK" doing 65 down the highway, just pulls a bit to the left.
The windshield is cracked along the bottom but does not obstruct your
view.
Also I had to put a bracket on the alternator to the inner fender well. The
mounting bolt broke off last winter and I did not have time to extract it. It works well but you do get a little bit of vibration noise going down the highway.
id love to give you guys a link to the pictures of the vehicle but until i get five posts i cant posts links....
he is asking $3200.00 or best offer. (sounds pretty high to me)

basically my budget is 3 grand and im thinking if everthing is like he says it is and he has proof of rebuild i might offer him 2200 or 2300. he lowered his asking price to 2800. that way i can fix everything mechanically, sell the plow, and have a buddy do the body work and still be under 3. if he truly is moving and needs it gone im sure hell take it
