Pros: seat fabric still in tact, engine immaculate
Cons: 4X4 has become quite finicky, Hazard button broke
The Bottom Line: If faced with purchasing this vehicle again or choosing something else I would definetly choose the blazer.
I have owned my 1996 Chevrolet Blazer since 2001. The original owner took great care of this vehicle as have I. I had heard that they were great vehicles and it was so affordable at the car dealership I was looking at that I just could not pass it up. ... read more

In the test drive before the purchase, it performed ... read more
