* Condition of the body and interior: Rust, damage, and the overall condition of the upholstery and interior features will impact the value. A clean, rust-free Blazer will be worth more than one that's heavily damaged.
* Options and features: Leather seats, sunroof, specific packages, etc., can slightly increase value, although less so than with a running engine.
* Location: Prices vary geographically. A vehicle in high demand areas might fetch slightly more.
* Parts availability: Some parts might be more readily available than others, potentially affecting value depending on the individual's assessment of what they can salvage.
Without knowing the specifics of your Blazer's condition, it's impossible to give a precise value. However, realistically, you're probably looking at a range of $500 to $2,000 (USD) or less, perhaps even less in some cases. This assumes it's otherwise in reasonable condition (not extensively rusted or damaged). If it's heavily damaged, the price could be even lower.
To get a better estimate, you could:
* Check online classifieds: Look at similar 1996 Chevy Blazers (with blown engines) for sale in your area on sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay.
* Consult a local salvage yard or junkyard: They can give you an idea of what they would pay for it for parts.
Remember, a blown engine is a major mechanical failure. The value is primarily determined by the worth of its usable parts rather than its potential as a running vehicle.
