I purchased my Chevrolet Blazer new in 2000. I've made many of the same repairs you have and I just reached 70,000 miles. Considering the poor gas mileage, the need of constant repair and the poor resale of this vehicle I regret this purchase very much.

Hi, I'm 21 yrs old. I purchased a 2000 chevrolet Blazer LT a little over a year ago with 63,000 miles. It's been running great. Now it has 77,000 miles on it and the only repairs I've made is: new battery, spark plugs, oil lines, driver side door hinges, and lower ball joints. Other than that its been running great and I've been maintaining it with regular oil changes, coolants, and fluids that it needs. My Blazer is black on black with: heated leather dual power seats, moon roof, 4 door, 4 wheel drive included, climate control system, all privacy glass, bright blue headlights with fog lamps, CD bose system, and options on the steering wheel for the bose CD player. Yep, FULLY LOADED! I love my truck and I'm keeping it. You Just have to take care of it and not beat on your vehicles especially maintain them on a regular basis for it to last long.
