My name is Ryan I am very very interested in a trailblazer SS looking for a 06 to 07 (white) Was wondering maybe the pros and cons of owning a trailblazer SS. I have a 99 Ford lightning I’m possibly thinking of trading or selling to get one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

What is your price point?

 

[Ryan Gamache]

Well I’m trying to sell my Ford lightning right now so probably about 11 to 12,000 I know that’s a longshot but

Not bad --- can't let my 08 TBSS 3LT AWD Florida gem go for that price... keep looking, they are out there

I drive a 100% stock 2007 TBSS AWD daily.
The only con is the gas mileage.

11 or 12k isn't gonna get you one you'd actually want to own, IMO. At that price point you're better off buying a 5.3L envoy.

We’ll if you truly wanna get started with a tbss. Make it a project if your budget is in the 12 to 13 range. I have a rare color one with new trans flawless interior and clean title. Needs motor. LS2 6.0 is still in it. 4k. Then you got 7 to 8k left to do motor swap or short block rebuild. Think about it

Maybe I was in the right place at the right time, but I only paid $9k for mine. Bone stock, dealer maintained, one~ish owner.

When and how many miles? That'd be a steal and a half nowadays

Probably 3 years ago. It had like 145k on it.

So a ton of miles and when prices were at their low point, lol. Yeah, your timing was pretty nuts.

 

[Burnit53]

When you can follow the meticulous maintenance at the same dealer from day it was purchased to shortly before you buy it. Actual miles doesn't really mean too much. It took me a year to find a red 3SS, I didn't really care knowing it wasn't going to stay stock.

Took me 2yrs and looked at about 9 in the tri-state that were either destroyed or fantasy prices. Bought my 08 3SS w 85k for $18k 6-7yrs ago now has 155k-ish now

There are plenty of sub $15k units out there and many in the sub 12k range that aren’t rollers. Yes they are over 100-150-175k+ range in miles but what did you expect? Facebook book tbss pages are where you find them, almost weekly.

Often they are clapped out, may have rust, bad trans or bad/worn suspension. It’ll be a project to make road worthy and reliable. There are obvious states to not buy from like rust belt, Chicago etc

There is also an issue of no longer made parts that are hard to come by or expensive to source. So keep that in mind.

Bought mine 2 months ago. 99k on it for 19.9k.

Had work done on the motor but really didn't care about upkeep on paint or interior.

Multiple check codes (steering position center and TBMS (someone went into a sum menu and turned it off).

Runs great now and a 2018 Mustang at 55 couldn't pull on me

I'm in Az, and my SS spent it's whole life here. So, zero rust. Surprisingly, the paint only had two small spots that the clear was peeling. I've since had the whole thing repainted. In addition to all that's in my sig line, trans is the only thing left.
