What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

"Best SUV"

"Best car I've ever owned. Love this car. I can't believe they stopped making them. I would definitely ow another one."

"Got to 214K Miles Before Major Issues"

"My aunt got this 2004 TB back in 08. I bought it from her in 2017 for $1,000 at 180k miles. Its been so good to me and was good to her. I haven't been the best car owner... missing oil changes and such but it has been very reliable for the long run. Minor issues an old car gets like alternator and some things rusting. Over all, its been such a great car. Very reliable. Just got to 214k miles and now I need a new radiator and some other things so its looking like the end of my TB but this is the only major issue its ever had and I mean its been a daily driver since at least 08. Even though mines about had it, I defiantly recommend it."

"I love my trailblazer!"

"I have owned this traliblazer for the past 7 years and it has been a great car. My only negative complaint is the gas mileage. For a midsize vehicle I would expect to get over 15 mpg like this car. I drovwe this car personally for 3 years and then turned it over to my teenagers. My daughter drove lots of miles in her 3 years and now my son had it for the past year. As the 2nd owners, we have put over 65,000 miles and very very little repairs. Only repairs were a starter and A/C plus the tires and battery. I can not complaining at all because we are very rough on vehicles and I have always relied heavily on my trailblazer!"

This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
