1996 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"It's a big waste of money if you buy it used"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just bought this 96 Blazer two weeks ago. I only drive in town, so only a few miles are on it.
We replaced the A/C compressor, radiator, gave it a tune up, put new tires on it, and now, we are putting a new motor on it. My new engine is going to cost me four thousand, five hundred dollars.
Naturally, had I realized that it was a big money pit, I would have just spent four thousand on making my Buick Century nicer.
General comments?
I will never buy another car like this again... even though it has a nice ride, smooth and all.
