Sorry dont want you to go crazy that box only shows up after you do the initial search. Search for polaris trailblazer then in the next window look mid-page on the left and you'll find more search options!

I got it, dam that 05 is nice!


See i saw a couple custom ones get in the 2k but idk about mine,cuz everything i have is basic things,


Maybe once my quad is put back togeather ill put it on ebay for like a bin of 2600 and have people make offers, or just have the bidding start at 2k or have the bidding start at 1,500 with a 2200 reserve price..

getting a trail blazer for that cheap is unheard of up in canada, atleast thats what i think. Like on the autotrader there are usually old and tired yamaha moto4s and old suzukis and hondas from the 1980s for about $1500-$2500 cdn. Have you found any used scramblers? how much? you will surely love the scrambler i have one just not yellow and blue but they haul! and you can make them so much more

LOOK for gashes, major scratches on the belly, Take a look at tire wear. Make sure its a WELL LIT area, never go at night, make sure you get a test drive to your liking.

Ask for upkeep records. Oil changes, check the air filter is there a water line inside the airbox, any dirt laying around.......

your better off to put it for a lower price say 1400.00 and put a reserve price of 2100.00 you would attrack more bids this way. good luck w/ selling it.
