Sly_Paragon Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Looking around CL and auto trader for an SUV under $2000. My first car BTW. Got my eyes on this 2001 Chevy Blazer LS 240KM. Any experiences with this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillooet_Hillbilly Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 good deal and you'll get tons of mechanic experience buying a car with that many km's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I had a 95 blazer and sold it with 180k. Tons of problems. It was a money pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive-By Body Pierce Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 At 2,000 you can only pick two of the above. Yup, was going to say pretty much the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 At 2,000 you can only pick two of the above. Pretty much. Vehicles in that price/km range are a crap shoot. You have no idea what you've really got until a year or two later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_Paragon Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 What about 3500-4000$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 4runners are godly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 4runners are godly. But the v6 90's are bad. Had a '94...::killed me.....sucked my bank account dry...finally just left it at the mechanics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 What about 3500-4000$? I've had several early 80's Chevy and gmc pick ups in this price range...solid trucks and easy to fix....can really beat on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Dang. I just need a good reliable SUV that doesn't hurt my wallet, looks stylish, decent kms and low to med maintenance. Anyone know a good model and make??? You plan on dropping just 2 grand on an SUV and you honestly expect something cheap and in good condition? Just buy any old beater for your first car.

Magikal Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Chevy can make some good product but the blazers are not one of them. Avoid at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikal Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Ford Explorer or Escape are great options. Toyota 4runner is another good pick. Nissan Pathfinder around the 2000-2002 are good picks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 pathfinders look like those powered riding toy cars you get at Toys R Us awful for looks. 1988 4runners. hnng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRypien37 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It Will be VERY hard to find for 2k, but try for a Honda CR-V. Good fuel efficiency and reliable even with 300K KM and more (which is what you will have in that price range). DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, get a domestic SUV, ESPECIALLY in that price range. Are you specifically looking for SUV, or open to Sedans/Coupes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
