Need help near Seattle, WA for Blazer inspection

[Jasper Jones]

Hey everyone,

I already posted this in the regional forum yesterday, but thought I would also post it here as it is not getting many views there. I hope this isn't a problem, sorry if it is.

My name is Jason, and I just recently joined the boards. I am looking to purchase my first K5. I found one I like on craigslist, and it is apparently on the east side of Seattle, WA. Problem is, I live in SE Michigan.

Would anyone in this area be willing to check it out for me? This K5 has the body style I am looking for, but I want one with as little rust as possible, or none at all (which is pretty much impossible to find here in Michigan).

As long as it runs and drives decently, that is fine, as I can take care of any needed mechanical work. I just would prefer to avoid metal work in order to get it road worthy.

If anyone is willing to maybe take a look, let me know and I will get the information to you. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Jason

Most of the trucks out here do not have rust. I've seen some of the rust pictures you guys have and wow! So you made a good choice looking in Oregon and Washington. If I was closer I would look but I live to far away.

I appreciate the offer, anyways. Yeah, the rust really sucks out here. Eats everything up. This is why I want to find a nice K5 and get it protected from the start.

P.M. Kennyw here, he may work near there and be willing to help. I dunno, nice guy for sure though... he definately knows his stuff and local market values.
Whats the asking price?

The one I am looking at is $1,200, but that is lower than the budget I am giving myself.

I live in tacoma, just south of seattle. If you can give me an address, or a link to the advertisement I may be able to help you out.
