Chevrolet Trailblazer
Chevrolet’s Trailblazer never quite cracked the code in a segment that’s now almost a Fortuner fan club with the Everest and MU-X trailing close behind. On paper at least, it promised a more American take on the seven-seat ladder-frame SUV—a proper off-roader with space for the entire extended family, even if it was basically a Colorado bakkie in disguise. Every used Trailblazer you’ll find today packs the same 2.8-litre turbodiesel, and only automatics are showing up in classifieds. There are only two on the market right now, spanning a full R100,000 from R159,950 to R259,995. That’s your first warning: these cars aren’t common, and the price spread means condition and equipment are everything. With a median around R210k, you’re staring down high mileage—think 179,709 km on average—which is where the Fortuner and Everest start to look a lot more predictable. Both available options are LTZs—the flagship spec, if you remember—with one manual 4x4 at the lower end and an auto at the top. Model years are 2012 to 2016. The LTZ badge means you’re getting leather seats and that early touchscreen, which isn’t the slickest but still works for Spotify and nav. Here’s the catch: compared to the Toyota or Ford, you’re working with much thinner local support because GM packed its bags in 2017 and took the spares channel with it. If you track one down, the 2.8D’s torque is still solid, and the kit list isn’t embarrassing. Just go in with your eyes open on parts and running costs, because that matters far more now than when these things were new.

Chevrolet’s exit from South Africa has turned its badge into pure used-car territory, and these 34 listings prove it — not a single new model, just a median price of R117,425 fighting for space in a market crowded by more obvious choices from VW and Toyota. That’s the thing: you buy a second-hand Chevy because you’re chasing value that’s hard to spot elsewhere, or you’re loyal after years behind the wheel — not because you want the latest thing. Prices swing from R49,500 for an Aveo to a wild R798,800 on a collector-grade Lumina, but that top number’s more about nostalgia and condition than any real product variety. Suzuki and Nissan play in this budget space with fresher support, but Chevrolet’s hook? It’s the American badge with a Korean or Japanese price tag, and that matters to some. If you’re scanning classifieds, the Utility bakkie stands out — 14 listings between R99,900 and R189,900, still a favourite among small businesses and farmers who trust that single-cab to take a beating. The Spark’s here too, popping up from R67,500 and still undercutting most rivals as a daily city shuttle. Cruze sedans sit in the R79,500 to R107,500 range, offering honest space for the money. Luminas are the unicorns — R339,950 to R798,800 for a rear-driven V8 with genuine South African cult status. The rest of the range is a mix: mostly petrol engines, a few diesels in the Captiva and Trailblazer, and a split of hatches, sedans, single-cabs, and SUVs. On paper at least, this is a brand you buy for its backstory, not for any promise of future parts or service.
