REDUCED : 2008 Trailblazer - runs but needs work

**Revolvergeek** · January 7th, 2021, 05:32 PM

Greetings all,

Offered for sale or trade is one used 2008 Chevy Trailblazer that needs some work.I bought it from a coworker a few years back and it was her mom's car before that. I drove it for a while and it developed some issues. I was keeping it to fix it up, but I ended up with a newer used car and now my father got a newer used truck so this one is looking for a new home. Has the Vortec 4200 6 cylinder and 137,434 miles on it.

The Good: cranks right up and runs (rough), a/c blows cold, body and interior are quite presentable (interior needs a good cleaning), all power windows and locks work.

The Bad: the exhaust manifold is cracked, the fuel tank / filler is cracked, there is probably some timing issue because it clatters when cranked and then lopes as it idles. I have driven it once a month around the yard to keep everything lubricated and conditioned, but I would not plan on driving it home. The tires are at best fair, and one of them is downright lousy. Does not have a plate nor an inspection sticker. Would not pass inspection last time that I tried. It failed the evaporative system test since the gas tank would not pressure up due to the cracks.

Asking $1800 OBO and would discuss trades on (in no particular order, and yes I know some are very wishful thinking, but you never know...) :

BUMP! Price reduced to $2000.

Willing to entertain offers on other items. If anybody has a tire / automotive shop, I would also be VERY interested in trading for repairs and new(er) tires for my 2002 C1500.
