Well I found some one who wants to buy my K5. he said he would pay $9500.Is this a good price for a old Blazer.

The truck is in really good shape in and out and it runs well.

Tossup. It is a clean truck, especially the rust thing. Those are hard to come by.

However, in this economy and with gas prices as they are, selling these trucks is hard and so *buying* them is pretty easy. There's lots out there -- admittedly not so many in as good condition -- and the prices are depressed. And even slightly modified trucks (i.e. lift, big tires, etc) tend to bring LESS money than a totally original one. Look at Artzner's truck; I could see his bringing that kind of money. (And it's a full convertible, which are older and nominally worth more.)

That's a FAT chunk of change, so if it were me I'd take it and run -- after making VERY sure the $$ is real, i.e. my bank has verified the currency as real or the cashier's check has cleared on both ends.

Seems to me that with a little digging, you could find another, perhaps more original, truck in the same kind of shape, for a chunk less money. :dunno:

I mean, I name all my trucks and the two that I've sold have brought a tear to my eye as they rumbled off down the street... but for almost ten grand, I can cry a bit. Hell, at this point if I was offered that kind of money for either of mine I'd think long and hard about it.

Agreed

I think you should take the offer, assuming you actually want to let it go.

I recently (March 08) found my 86 Jimmy and stole it. It doesnt appear to have ever seen snow or the northern road salts etc as so many have - So absolutely no rust other than minor at the shell seal, the 350 is still strong even though completely stock, a new 700R4, and everything is functional. A rare find for 3500 OBO - I drove away less 3000.

Your ride, however - Is in even better condition. Take the offer, I dont think a better one will surface anytime soon.

Just my opinion.

Ditto. If you really want to get rid of it, take that money and run. That guy has more money than real-world K5 prices knowledge. :)
 
I don't care what you say, this post smells like a fishing expedition to me. Do you really expect us to believe that someone has offered you $9500 for your rig and you're not sure if you should take it or not? C'mon........I was born at night but not last night.

If all you're looking for is an opinion on a price, you don't need a list of specs and 10 pics. All you need to say is that it's in great shape and runs well.

Try again, and don't break the rules this time..........:deal:

:eek1:Oh yeah thats a deal im not even sure what your rig even has, but ive been "tryin" to sell my rig for like two years with way too much money into it, and almost completely rust free for like $6500 and no serious buyers. i mean new everything top to bottom, id take it if you were at all interested in selling it any time soon.

Accually I was thinking really hard about it. but someone did come up to me at the parts store and ask what i wanted. I told him make a offer and thats the price he came up with.It sounded really high to me thats why i asked.

I appologize about puting the pictures and specs up I didnt feel that would be a problem.

If i really wanted to sell i would pay the $25 and post it, cause alot of people go through the classifieds here.
but, If you honestly feel i am trying to sell the truck here please delete this thread.
 
wtf?? if the deal was good why wouldn't you take a high offer? i would have said show me the money.
 
Yeah $9500 is above and beyond what I would expect to get if I sold mine even. With $9500 you find another Blazer just as nice and still have money left over.
 
If it's for real take it.

I've got lots of work into Big Ugly and still owe on it but for that much I'd be all over it. The deals are coming out of the wood work now as folks think they can't afford gas and I could pick up two or three trucks for that much.
 
thats a real nice offer. if its for real i would take it but it also depends on how nice your blazer is? they are getting harder and harder to find in nice condition.
 
His Blazer is pretty nice. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best condition) his is an 8.5 or 9. But even though the book value on his Blazer may be 10-12K it's usually unrealistic to expect someone will pay you that much. Most of the nice Blazers I see for sale on the web start out high and then when they can't be sold, the prices drop. Mine started out on eBay with a reserve of 10K in the summer of 2006.
 
its to bad the Guy ended up not calling me back, he took it for a drive looked at everything. So what ever i guess. If it would have sold that would have been nice, but oh well.
