Looking for some input here as I am not a "car person". Background.... I have kept this car for 11 years and it is still running fine however I keep reading 200k is "stretching it" as far as reliability. If I traded it would be with another later model Trailblazer as they are a discontinued model. I am way too cheap now to get a new one. My current 200k vehicle has had nothing "replaced" on it other than basic worn joints, battery, brakes, and tires.
Do I gain anything by purchasing a 100k Trailblazer or is it likely the same things could fall apart on it that would on my 200k vehicle? If I kept my current vehicle is there anything that should be replaced for prevention purposes such as a water pump?Other than oil changes, air filter changes, a recent tranny drain, S belt change, spark plugs changed 120,000 miles ago, I have done nothing to this vehicle.... When I was young making $20,000 a year, I had no problem getting a loan for $15k vehicle. Now that I could pay cash, I am too damn cheap to consider that option.
