#8 chipperrrr is right regarding #3 and the 3% Hold back on a 32.8K truck is $890. |

Chipperrrr, My mistake, should have been $901.80. I'm sure you have heard of "FAT FINGER COMPLEX", and too boot, I should be reading what I'm typing. Anyway, I love the new TB. Russ... here is the option list an the TB-- 1SD pkg, 3.73 rear end, locking diff., underbody guard shields, AM/FM disc and cassite, driver convience pkg. med/dark grey interior, and running boards for a total list of $32,890.00, dealer cost of $30,060.28. ALL HAVE A GREAT TRAILBLAZER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I know what you're saying about the trade in value on the older Blazers....wish it was higher too! In my case, when I traded it in on the 2002 TB deal, the Blazer was at 126,000 miles and I'm sure that didn't help me. Of course, they mentioned that several times as well. I did print out the edmunds trade in value as well as the Kelley Blue Book trade in estimate I got to directly from GM's own Chevrolet web site!!! It too had a high trade in value for the '95 Blazer ($6-8K). I had a friend offer me about $6K to sell him my Blazer, but I ended up trading it in for $4,500 just to get rid of it. I knew the dealer would give me less, but figured it was less hastle than going back and trying to do a deal on it after doing the TB deal. Anyway, I think the 126,000 miles dropped me down quite a bit, so $4,500 probably wasn't too far off. |

DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE TRAILBLAZER FOR MY SISTER.IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT OTHER'S THINK. ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS TRADE-IN VALUE IS BASED ON MSRP. IF YOU BOUGHT A $32000 VEHICLE FOR $30000 YOU GOT A $2000 DISCOUNT. $4500 PLUS $2000 IS $6500.$6500 IS YOUR TRADE IN VALUE. $4500 IS "ACTUAL CASH VALUE".OR WHAT A DEALER WOULD PAY YOU CASH FOR YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU SOLD IT AND DIDN'T TRADE IT.ACTUAL CASH VALUE IS GENERALLY AVG TRADE IN VALUE LESS MILEAGE,DAMAGE,WEAR.THINGS SUCH AS COLOR,OPTIONS,AND MARKET TRENDS ALSO HAVE AN IMPACT.IT'S VERY TRUE THAT RIGHT NOW THERE ARE MILLIONS OF USED SUV'S IN THE MARKET.THE LAWS OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND STILL APPLY TO TRADE IN'S.YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OFF IF DECIDE TO TRY AND SELL YOUR VEHICLE YOURSELF AS SOON AS YOU DECIDED TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE.THE DEALER COULD CARE LESS IF YOU HAVE A TRADE OR NOT,UNLESS IT IS A DESIRABLE CAR.(SURPRISINGLY 7-12YR OLD CARS WITH LOW,LOW MILEAGE WITH A RETAIL VALUE UNDER $5000 ARE USUALLY A HOT ITEM BECAUSE THEY MOVE VERY FAST AND ARE UNIQUE. |

| I am considering purchasing a Trailblazer. This will be my first SUV purchase. I am moving from a '95 Chevy Camaro. I need any input, good or bad. I have been testing driving mid-side SUV's and so far this is the smoothest. Need to know any mechanical problems. I am wary about getting back in to another GM. Just a note GM gave me a $1000.00 buyer loyalty certifitate just to purchase GM again. I'm sure that lets you know how the Camaro performed. | |
| If you don't need to Tow or a fairly large vehicle and can afford it get a 4Runner. Somedays I wish I had. | |
| Got a LS 2wd with package 3(keyless entry, speed control, etc.) for 24,435 Sticker was over 27,000. I feel it was a good deal. Not bad for a first time buyer!!! | |

| Hi everyone, my name is Chris and I am an Autobytel? Internet Sales Manager for a very well established and very reputab;le Chevrolet dealer in WNY. I have been selling my TrailBlazers for about 1% over invoice which is pretty fair. Everyone alway's talk's about Hold Back, but that goes only to the dealer and it also help's pay the monthly interest on these vehicles as they sit on the lot - typically 1%. On this type of 1% over deal, most salespeople make a flat or are paid a Mini - usually about $100. A Trailblazer LS with the Group 3 package and Locking Differential list's here for $29,430 and the Invoice is $27,058.35 - figure paying $200-$300 which is fair. i quote these prices upfront yet people still want to spend day's on end fighting with a dealer. It's your choice, but going online is a great deal fro the consumer. If you want to know what a dealer really pay's you, is the price he can buy the exact same vehicle for at auction! Why if YOU were a dealer would you pay morethan what you can buy it for at the auction? Think about it! Good Luck. | |
