1995 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Good to have if you like to spend money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had it for two months. Lets see:
Freeze plug in the block
Transmission seal
Brakes
Exhaust
Serpentine belt
And now after putting less than 100 miles on it, my motor blew!!!
General comments?
Thought it was a great buy but I was wrong. I knew it needed freeze plug. no big deal. I just got my license so I can drive it, drove it 15.2 miles, floored the gas once and pulled up to the stop sign and my motor was knocking badly. Pulled over, got it towed back home and now its sitting in my driveway. So there goes $3,000 down the drain for a new motor.
Called the guy I bought it from and flipped out a little and he is going to take care of it luckily. My trans. seems like it don't shift right sometimes so I will probably need to rebuild that too. Looks great but runs like a turd.
