Most american cars are a bargain over here. People do stick with toyotas, nissans, mercedes etc. American autos do have steep depriciation and very poor resale value. Try private sellers and work your way down with a fair bit of haggling. Use the formula 30% depriciation on first year and 5-10% thereafter.
i have had bad experiences with the trailblazer. The transmission sucks big time. Its always such a drag. sometimes i feel i am driving a badly tuned SUV with a 70s engine & transmission in it.
