Is this 99 worth the money?

This guy wants to trade this wrecked 99 for my blazer that I am asking $5500 for. What do you guys think?

Kinda Iffy to me. Might be an even swap but your aren't gaining anything. Maybe he gives you the truck and $1000.

It would be a trade just to have something that was easier to sell, what is the motor worth? $3K?

That truck would probably be easier to sell than a blazer, just my opinion. What do you plan to do with it, part it out, repair it? The motors worth something not sure what, I saw one out of a wrecked truck on ebay go for $2750 with 85k miles, the trans is worth something as well as the rest of the drivetrain, you could probably make your money back and then some selling parts, just depends on if you want to mess with it or not. I bought an old 1989 ford f-150 2x4 for $150 and spent a couple weekends tearing it down and sold all the parts for almost $1000. It was worth it to me because I had nothing else to do at the time and I like tearing stuff apart, you could probably make even more, but it will take some time and tools. I noticed in the description that it had an afe intake on it, if you did trade would you want to sell that? just pm me if you do. Good luck

Wow, that's a wrecked truck. I would stay away from it. You will need a complete new body, and watch your state DMV laws when you change VIN.
I would not pay more than $ 2000 for that truck.
Sometimes on rollovers motor doesn't get shut off and keeps running with no oil for a while, they might be ok but I wouldn't trust it.

I would have to say no. Unless you were just wanting a play toy. If the truck is automatic it has a 47re trany(good and solid). But, no matter what you do with it your going to have to burn some money doing it. There is a growing market for this truck for offroad guys. Allot of people are making monsters out of these wrecked trucks. I guess it all depends on what you are wanting out of it.

Why are there only 7300 mi on the engine? I would say no but like others have said im not sure what your wanting to do with it or what your blazer looks like. If you do get it and part it out id be interestid in the front coil spacers.

6500 is a little high in my personal opinion. Would not be a lot of turn around probably even if you parted it out. Would probably make a good donor truck.
