Vehicle Detail

You are bidding on a one-owner well maintained Chevy Blazer. It had developed a radiator leak and overheated. I recognize those two statements are in conflict, but the family took pretty good care of it overall. It overheated on an expressway and had to be towed. Next day a mechanic got it running and once over 40 mph it ran fine, but now that it has been sitting for a couple of weeks it won't start. His assessment is coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber and has to be at higher rpms to burn the coolant. It could be a head gasket leak or a cracked head, but can't tell without a tear-down. The motor has not been disassembled, so an accurate assessment is unavailable. It's a risk. As a running vehicle, it's got a few quirks, the A/C has to be recharged every spring, the key fob will not unlock the power doors, intermittent wipers are intermittent, you know, high mileage stuff. The only visible rust is at the bottom of the tailgate (see photo). Tires and brakes are good, outside of the motor issue it's in pretty good shape. The interior is in very good condition and the black paint looks good. It's not my truck yet. It belongs to a buddy, if it does not sell I'm going to take ownership. Here's the details: 4.3 L V6 engine, fuel injection, automatic 4-speed trans, A/C, Insta-trak 4X4 transfer case, premium suspension, factory anti-chip protection, 6-way power bucket seat, original AM/FM/Casette stereo, 4 Delco ERS speakers, deep tint glass, light tint rear, volt-temp-oil pressure gauges, 18-gal fuel tank, front tow hooks, 60/40 front seat w/storage, 60/40 split fold rear seat, rear cargo tie-down hooks, roof rack, electric sunroof, homelink trip computer, tachometer, factory tow-rated at 5000# but no hitch. If you are the winning bidder and you come to get it and it does not meet your expectation I will let you out of the contract, no problem. I don't do negative feedback, I'll just do a second-chance offer with the next bidder or just keep it. You can bid with confidence, just check my feedback. I buy and sell a lot of cars on eBay as a hobby and everyone's been satisfied so far.
