Used Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT for Sale

I love how big my car is, I cannot stress that enough! Three kids all I car seats plus my husband and myself and we all fit with room. Perfect for those with a family who just aren't ready to jump into the van mom life. It surprised me to see that it actually is a huge gas hog, like others of its size. Does not lack in power, yet drives smooth. We feel very safe in the car, it has a nice strong, stable build to it. It is a sexy car, the body and the curves of it make it stand out and to be appreciated. But like any GM made car there is a list of repairs that are always needed. I have owned the car 1 year, placed 7k miles on it and well 2,000 in to repairs and then extra cost for upkeep like tune up, oil changes. The lines, (oil, trans, power steering) all of them had to be replaced because they broke Fan clutch broke left me and the kids stranded in 90 degree weather for 2 hours. Water pump gone. Brakes replaced. This is my 4th GM car and my Grandpa worked at GM until he died, but I am really starting to question their cars.

This was an amazing car, all things considered. It had a few electrical problems, which was especially irritating. I bought the car with pretty low millage, but it still had some problems that come with age on cars like this. The car had acceleration issues the whole time I had it and leaked oil profusely. I also experienced issues with the four-wheel drive shifter. It would short out even though I had it replaced several times. But the car ran really well for its age. Its handling and power were excellent.

We have owned a Chevy Trailblazer since it was new. Over all it has been a great vehicle. The sunroof is an awesome addition and the four wheel drive meant that the Trailblazer was our winter ski trip vehicle. If we had the money and the option to buy the car again we would certainly do it. It was a great vehicle until about 160,000 miles. At this point the car started to give us some hassles. The main was the four wheel drive going out. Our air conditioning died as well. We have had it in the shop several times and was told it needed a new brain which could only be installed at the dealership. At this point we are kind of letting it ride until we can figure out what to do. It still has great pep and an awesome turn radius but I feel a little hesitant putting 3000+ dollars into this vehicle at this stage of wear. Great vehicle if it has low miles, higher mileage and I might consider purchasing a car with a warranty. All in all a testament to American manufacturing. A great product that really doesn't last.
