The whole package looks terrible!! The flame job is a horror,and the interior looks shot. Add all this to the mileage,,and it's WAY overpriced!! IMO about 6-7K tops!! I'd be amazed if it went for more than half of the asking price!!

Car selling pics 101: Don't take a pic of the car on the driveway positioned over a puddle that makes it look like it is leaking fluids.
The nice part about the flames is that you don't have to re paint the front bumper to get rid of them

Can it be saved? Sure it could, but it may be best to let her go!
Owner states that it is well maintained? Ya right, the pictures don't support that claim. So what else in the ad is not quite accurate?

Maybe the nose has been re-painted since the flames and flames were not put back on.
The whole thing looks like an abortion of a car to me anyway.
Not maintained well as claimed. I have a 2003 Trailblazer with 166k miles and it looks like new. It's not the miles.

She looks rough to me. Pics show driver's seat is badly decomposed. Interior pics show car is running with radio display legible but climate control display is dark. And what is that dash pad hiding? All cars eventually wear out. Personally, I would not by this one at any price. (Probable money pit.)

I found a better deal on a salvage C5! Less mileage and in much better condition with light front damage not to mention it was a fourth of the price. I wouldn't buy it unless I was going to mod the hell out of anything i bought regardless of condition. I've also looked at the pictures more closely. it's probably a 6k car if it's in good running condition.
My 98 had 242k on it when i sold it and there was nothing wrong with. However it was maintain like a corporate jet. Regulars inspections and what ever went bad was replaced with GM parts. The power train was all original. You can't always judge a vehicle by it's mileage.
