Ok so a friend of mines uncle died and he got his blazer. He told me that it is a 2001 Chevy blazer trail blazer. He said that his uncle had it and another car so he did not drive it much (plus he was old he said) so he says that is has around a 1000 mile or so and still smells new.

Honestly I wouldn''t buy that. Unless he''s done alot of work to keep it stored...it''s going to blow seals and break parts after 7 years of sitting..

well he said it is in GREAT shape. he took it to a shop and got a full check up and he said they said every thing is good. he was going to keep it but he just got a honda. so he has payments and then would have no money for gas for the beast.the family cares not

Why not take the 01 with low mileage, and sell your 98!

Whats the break-in period for engines? Is it the first 1000 you''''re not supposed to go over 60? And all those fun 5k miles services

Then again, I''d probably change all the fluids anyway after sitting that long.

YES YOU CAN! DO IT!

It would be wrong to just take it and sell it...but if you just take it and drive it/love it/enjoy it, well then, DO ITTTTTTT
