1989 Chevrolet Blazer S10 review from North America
"Can't beat the longevity"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater core gave out after 6 months (defective.
Air controls broke in less than a year (defective).
Head liner started to sag after 10 years.
Replaced the alternator after 7 years.
General comments?
Best car I ever owned. It's still running (and my 2000 Ford isn't doing too well).
Interior is in good shape. Seats are still comfortable, and intact, only the headliner sags. No cracks in the dashboard.
Paint is worn, but will still shines even though the car was never in a garage.
Engine knocks terribly (needs to be rebuilt, but hard to find someone who will do it on such an old car), but the transmission is original, and works like the day it was purchased.
Tires last forever, as it stays in alignment.
