For full features; Go to Price offer on K5 blazer
So I've got a friend who's got an 85 K5 blazer that I'm about to make an
offer on. Let me give you a little background info: He ended up moving and
only took his car with him, left the truck at a condemned property that
burned down across the street. It's sitting on 1 flat tire and missing one
exhaust pipe(dual exhaust). Last I heard it also needed some brake work to
pass inspection as well. Until recently it was his and his mothers daily
driver, but they decided with gas prices to buy a new car instead of doing
the work to the truck. It's got some cancer poking through the paint but
all in all not in bad shape. It's 4WD solid front axle 350ci with a 4spd
auto, not sure on miles. It's black and has ugly deezee aluminum steps.
I'm thinking of offering him $3-400 for it to either fix up and be another
vehicle for me to beat on or flip and sell for parts. I know between motor
and axles I could get my money back. Now I've got two questions. Anything
in particular I should check before purchasing (for example if the
transfers go or body mounts rot I know gas tanks and lines are common) and
would that be a fare offer on my part. If he leaves the truck there too
long it'll end up being towed away so I think he'll let it go pretty cheap,
but he's a good guy and I don't want to screw him..... too bad. I'm looking
for anyones :2cents: on this one. Help me convince myself it's worth a few
hundred dollars.

Finally talked to the guy today and he said he doesn't know how much he's
gonna sell it for if at all. Guess he needed the money then but doesn't
now. Oh well sorry for wasting your time.
