I know it's not a Cat, but since I own one, decided to see if anyone was interested. I'm selling my '02 Blazer ZR2, so I can buy a decent Buick Roadmaster for my wife to drive. I have a set of studded snow tires I can throw on it, when it get's bad. I actually 'plowed' snow with the front bumper with mine, so I know it can go through snow! I need something that gets better mpg's. Plus, I really don't have a 'road car', to take on trips. I used to own a '95 4-door, and it was a NICE car! But, like a moron, sold it to buy my 'mid-life crisis' car, an '05 Mustang. When I got tired of no room, and no trunk, I sold it, and got my '87 Cutlass. I know I can use my Cutlass on trips, but I can't get over 20 mpg's with it, even though I had the carb rebuilt, and reset the timing, and bought all the carb tools to tune it! Most reviews of these big boats have said that they've gotten as much as 25-27 mpg hwy. I know my father had an '89 Grand Marquis, and he got 27 mpg's once. Which, incidentally, my '05 Mustang V-6 only got 29 mpg hwy! So, I can have a big boat, with tons of room, and get almost the same mileage! Driving my Roadmaster was like driving my living room couch! Comfortable as hell! It had, by far, the BEST sounding 'stock' stereo system I've ever heard! Can you tell I still miss it?
Anyway, here's the Craigslist link: http://rockford.craigslist.org/cto/2087191017.html
The pictures are from the dealer where we bought it, but it really doesn't look much different now, with the exception of newer Cooper Discoverer ATR tires. It's snowing here now, but if there's a nice day, I'll take some current photos of it.
Like I said, I know it's not a cat, but I saw that someone else posted a Mercury convertible on here, so I thought I'd see if anyone needed a good winter vehicle, that can go through globs of snow. I'm only selling it, because my wife is looking for a better job, and most of the better paying one's are closer to Chicago, which means driving further. The Blazer only gets like 17 (got 20 once with it, on the hwy, with a tail wind!). Plus, we normally use that for our Saturday shopping routine, and being a 2 door, space is at a minimum.
So, if someone needs a good winter driver, let me know! The price is negotiable.
Thanks,
John
