Good Deal on a Fourth Gen or Not??

I am thinking about trading my 1999 Chevy Blazer V6 for a 1995 V6 Camaro to use as my daily driver. The Camaro seems like a nice car. He wants to swap me even.No money involved. The Camaro has 103,000 miles on it and my Blazer has 172,000 with a overhauled motor. What do you think...Good deal Go for it....or Stick with the Blazer??

First ask yourself how much you actually use the cargo space/off road abilities of the Blazer.

It's how I got rid of my Explorer. Bought it for college to haul stuff and 4WD in Michigan winters (rusted the hell out of the thing in 4 years). Done with school and on a whim found my car. Surprising thing was that the T/A gets better fuel economy than my old 4.0L truck.

Next, see if he has a service history on hand and obviously have it checked by a 3rd party (buddy or preferred mechanic).

They (4th gens) are stable cars for DD duty and the L32 isn't a bad engine. I'd honestly swap it (the L32) for the dying LQ1 in my Monte Carlo DD but being a stable platform as is (118K miles) she may get an LS4/L37 swap.
