The total cost of a vehicle usually excludes tax, title, license, destination freight charges, dealer fees, and optional equipment. However, it is best to contact the local dealership to learn about the final price and available Chevrolet Blazer lease deals. This is because the final cost can vary depending on factors like deductible, coverage level, or insurance type that one needs, as well as the driver’s age, location, driving history, and credit score.
