This Blazer has been my personal vehicle for the past seven years. I am only the 2nd owner and I have the maintenance records for the vehicle througout it's lifetime (the first owner gave me his when he sold it to me back in 2003). This has been a great truck to me, but now with a young baby, a two-door SUV isn't very practical and we've moved on to a 4-door. I have 100% positive feedback and a history of complete honesty on eBay. This truck runs very strong, the engine and transmission are great, 4WD works well. I just took it on a 300+ mile trip recently that included driving on the beach. That said, it is a 12 year old truck and has wear and tear. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am listing all the known issues below. None of them affect the driveability of the car--it starts and runs every day and has never left me stranded. -Airbag light goes on and off from time to time...sometimes it won't appear for weeks on end, sometimes it will appear a short while and go away, sometimes it stays on for a couple of days at a time. This has been happening for about two years now, I had it looked at during an inspection but they couldn't determine the issue, car does have a good inspection sticker for VA until 4/11. -Check Engine Light also comes on every now and then, then goes out. The majority of the time it is not on...I have not seen it come on in a few weeks now but I will disclose it as it may come on again intermittently. This has been going on since 2006 when I put a new catalytic converter on the truck. PO420 is the code that I get when I check the CE Light (low catalyst threshold in the catalytic converter). This is not a driveability issue--car drives fine, it is just an emissions issue and as I said the light is normally not on. -Air Conditioning stopped working earlier this summer, it previously worked fine. I have not had it fixed but it would be worth doing so for the new owner, it used to blow nice and cold, I'm sure it will again. -Sending Unit to the Gas Gauge does not work, so the gas tank always reads full. I simply reset my trip odometer after every fillup and fill it up between 250-300 miles, so this is not something I've been worried about. -Power Windows, Door locks, Sunroof, remote key all work fine. The power sunroof does stick a bit when trying to close, you have to help it with your hand to make sure it closes tight and flush. -Cosmetic Issues--there are a handful of these, including some scratches and paint coming off of the black plastic fender flares (see photos), a bit of rust on the exterior tire carrier, a missing plastic trim piece on the passenger side door, a broken seat lever on the passenger seat (seat can still be adjusted), some interior stains, headliner is starting to sag a tiny bit in a couple of areas. This is a 12 year old truck with 150k miles, so I think this should be expected. I have not given the car a professional detail however I did clean it, so I think with a professional detail the interior could look pretty good. The 5-speed manual shifts smoothly. The clutch only has 20,000 miles on it. I average a very respectable 19-20mpg driving this truck through mostly rural and suburban roads. Tires have plenty of tread left in them
