We bought this Trailblazer in 2008 with the addition of another child in mind. Aka: We needed space. This truck has the cargo space as well as the leg space. It was purchased used with over 5,000 miles on it. We were leery of the usage of it since it had been a rental before. This truck was a V6, but, man, could it move when you wanted it to. Nice for driving around in the busy city we lived in. Other than regular maintenance, and changing of the battery once, this truck required no repairs in the seven years that we drove it as our primary vehicle. Resale of our truck was amazing. We received more than $10,000 for an eight-year old truck when we traded it in for a newer one. The only reason why we traded in the truck was we needed more towing capability. Other than that, this was a great little truck that never let us down. I really miss it!

So I'm in it for almost 4,000 more than I bought it for, but it runs like a champ. It always does until it quits. Hopefully at this point I will drive it to 300,000.
