Refreshed 1993 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4 with 350 V8
A well-preserved and freshly updated 1993 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4 is now available for sale, offering a blend of vintage SUV charm and rugged off-road capability. The two-door model, featuring a 5.7-liter V8 engine and clean CarFax, is listed by Smoky Mountain Traders, a classic car dealership in East Tennessee.
The Blazer sports a striking turquoise and gold two-tone paint job laid over a basecoat/clear coat finish. The exterior is outfitted with black 17-inch wheels wrapped in 37x12.50 tires, giving it a bold stance. Additional accessories include step bars, a front bull bar, and a winch, enhancing both utility and appearance. The truck's glass and chrome are in excellent condition, adding to its curb appeal.
Inside, the Blazer carries a tan interior that complements the exterior tones. The factory seats have been refreshed with new covers, and the cabin features newly installed carpet. Door panels are in solid condition, and both power windows function properly. The SUV also includes power steering and power front disc brakes.
Under the hood, the 350-cubic-inch small-block V8 is paired with an automatic transmission and backed by a four-wheel drive system. With factory-style valve covers and air cleaner in place, the engine bay retains much of its original character while offering reliable performance.
According to Smoky Mountain Traders, the truck is a smooth cruiser on the highway, combining modern ride comfort with classic style and off-road readiness. Known for their inventory of vintage muscle and collector cars, the dealership emphasizes its commitment to quality and competitive pricing.

There's Only One V10-Powered BMW M5 Wagon On Sale, And It's Going Cheap
During the E60 generation of the mid-2000s, Europeans got access to an E61 M5 Touring. Here in America, the wagon was never sold, but we did get access to the sedan with a manual transmission rather than the single-clutch automated manual that most markets had to deal with. With the arrival of the G99 M5 Touring, American buyers now have access to a BMW M wagon for the first time, but it still doesn't have a manual, and it certainly doesn't have a naturally aspirated engine. Fortunately, someone has taken it upon themselves to make such a thing a reality, using the bones of a BMW 535Xi. Now for sale on Cars & Bids with one day to go, it's currently bidding at just $50,000. The N54-powered, all-wheel-drive wagon was reportedly purchased by the current seller in September 2024, but the last service entry on its Carfax report was only in August 2020, when the car had 189,165 miles on it. There was also damage sustained in May 2022, though what is not listed. Clearly, this car was rough to begin with. To turn it into something special, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six engine was pulled, with the S85 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10 taking its place. The automatic transmission was also ditched in favor of an E6X M5 six-speed manual transmission, and the AWD system was deleted to power the correct axle only, which is assisted by an M5-sourced limited-slip differential. Even the M5's electronic damping control suspension system was fitted, and the car's systems all appear to be in fine working order. That includes the retrofitted night vision system. 19-inch Style 166M wheels make the wagon look more authentic, but keen-eyed observers will recognize that the brakes come from an F87 BMW M2. Genuine M5 bodywork painted in the 535Xi's original Deep Green Metallic completes the package. Inside, the black leather and Carrara wood trim give the wagon a very classy, upmarket feel, and the M5 gauge cluster and steering wheel (also painted to match the car's original color) give it a touch of sportiness. However, there are some issues to address or overlook. The odometer has been rolled back to 65,300 miles following the fitment of the M5 cluster, so there's no telling how much mileage the car truly has on it. It's also unclear if that mileage corresponds to the engine under the hood or if the S85 was sourced from another donor vehicle. Other small issues include stone chips, misaligned passenger-side exhaust tips, some curb rash and scratches on the wheels, and a few other signs of wear interior upholstery and switchgear. Still, the listing also says that the engine oil and filter, clutch, thermostat, spark plugs, wheel bearings, front and rear control arms, tires, rear shock absorbers, and driveshaft support have all been replaced, and the transmission and coolant systems have also been cleaned out and refilled with fresh fluids. Of course, buying a project such as this will always be risky, but with the G99 M5 Touring setting buyers back well over $120,000, owning an M5 wagon of any sort is never cheap.

CARFAX: Up to 45,000 Vehicles Flood-Damaged in Mid-Year Storms
Buyer Beware: Used Car Buyers Should Watch for Warning Signs in Flood-Damaged Cars CENTREVILLE, Va., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Hurricane Season begins to ramp up, CARFAX estimates as many as 45,000 vehicles have been damaged by flooding from mid-year heavy rains and flash flooding between April and July swamped thousands of cars in states such as Texas, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and many of those vehicles are expected to soon resurface for sale in the used car market. These deadly storms may only be the beginning: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean this year. This influx of flood-damaged vehicles is on top of the estimated up to 482,000 water-damaged cars that CARFAX data shows were already on U.S. roads at the start of 2025. "Flood-damaged cars don't just stay in storm-hit areas; they show up all over the country, putting unsuspecting buyers at serious risk," said Faisal Hasan, Vice President of Data Acquisition at CARFAX. "The same vehicles pictured in one state, floating in floodwaters, can get cleaned up by scammers and sold elsewhere. And while these rehabbed cars may look showroom fresh, they're literally rotting from the inside out."Here are the top 10 states that are estimated to have the most water-damaged cars: Florida and Texas lead the nation in the number of flood-damaged cars already on the road. But CARFAX research shows these vehicles often turn up in states where flooding isn't top of mind for car shoppers — including places such as Pennsylvania or Illinois. Consumers who want to avoid buying a flood-damaged car can use CARFAX's free Flood Check® tool at Used car shoppers can also get a free CARFAX Vehicle History Report on Carfax Car Listings from to see if a vehicle has a record of water damage.

'I Immediately Text Our Salesperson from the Dealership:' Woman Buys 2021 Ford Bronco. Then She Looks in the Glovebox
A woman is asking the internet for help after learning the used 2021 Ford Bronco she just purchased had an undisclosed accident in its past. TikTok user Lisa ( @barefootlisa ) purchased a 2021 Ford Bronco with a clean CarFax report on July 7. 'Clean title, CarFax was clean of accidents,' she says. 'All that good stuff.' Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . Everything seemed fine until she got home and started looking through the glovebox for the owner's manual. That's when Lisa says she discovered a receipt for approximately $7,000 worth of damage repair from a local auto body shop. 'And on the receipt it says, 'Per insurance estimate, paid insurance check,'' she says. An Undisclosed Accident Lisa immediately contacted the salesman from the dealership to say she had found the paperwork and had concerns about the undisclosed accident. 'I'm absolutely spinning,' she says. 'I'm freaking out, thinking, '$7,000 is pretty significant in damage. What did they do? Is there frame damage?'' She went online and started looking up laws applicable to the situation. Trending Now Woman Takes Hyundai to Dealership When it Burns Too Much Oil. Then She Asks For a 'Goodwill' Replacement 'I Paid $127:' Texas Woman Takes 2022 Audi Q3 to Jiffy Lube for Oil Change. Her Engine Was Busted Within the Hour 'In Illinois, apparently, there doesn't have to be intent to deceive,' she says. 'It's still on the onus of the dealership that it was undisclosed. Vehicle fraud laws would apply.' Her primary concern is potential long-term effects stemming from the undisclosed accident. 'And, of course, the fact that we wouldn't have paid what we paid for this car if we had known that there was a previous accident on it,' she says. 'Because damage multipliers and stuff like that with depreciation? It's like a minimum of 10%.' The salesman got back to Lisa and told her that the previous owner said she had hit a deer, which damaged the windshield and roof. Importantly, the woman said no airbags were deployed. 'Since she didn't disclose this accident in the first place, we assume, [I don't know how] confident I am in her version of events,' Lisa says. 'But I know that the airbag not deploying is significant as far as what it would do to the value of the car.' Lisa says the salesman offered her ceramic coating to protect her paint job and interior coverage for free. But Lisa had paperwork from the glovebox showing the previous owner already had that done when she bought the car. Lisa countered by demanding a free extended warranty for the Bronco . 'This poor girl left all this stuff in the glovebox,' Lisa says. 'I can only imagine the dealership is absolutely [expletive] at the fact that the detailers and the service department missed this.' 'Call the Repair Shop' Many people responded to Lisa's call for advice on what she should ask for as a concession from the dealership. 'I'd unwind the deal and return the car,' one person wrote. '$7,000 isn't a huge amount, maybe, but roof damage could lead to leaking windows, sunroofs, or any number of things down the road with the integrity of the body.' A second person disagreed. 'Have the car reinspected,' they said. '$7,000 in body damage is next to nothing in the body repair industry. The question is engine and transmission. Those would be my biggest concern.' A third person wrote, 'Call the repair shop and verify what was repaired.' Someone else suggested, 'Some dealerships have free 7-day returns or 500-mile returns. You should check [the dealership's return policy] and buy a car somewhere else.' Is the Dealership at Fault? Whether the dealership is at fault depends on what you consider 'significant' damage. According to one legal blog , Illinois dealerships are required to disclose that level of damage. But one person's 'significant' can be another person's 'no big deal.' There's also the matter of whether the previous owner lied to the dealership. It's also arguably odd that there would be an insurance claim and payout, as the paperwork purportedly demonstrates, without the accident being included on the CarFax report. Nevertheless, none of this is Lisa's fault. In this situation, given that she has documentation to prove there was an accident, she may be able to return the Ford Bronco to the dealership.
