buying an 89 s10

Recommended Posts

well i found a couple different trucks around here, and i found one that i really like. its a 1989 s-10 standard cab, 4cyl, 5spd. i think there was one little ding on the hood, clear coat was faded off, but the actual color is for the most part uniform all around. its got a topper on it, vinyl bench seat that from when i looked at it, didnt look ripped or anything, dash i didnt see cracks or anything from heat.

he's asking $800 but i have $700 cash to offer him, im waiting for him to call me since he's been busy since i drove it (didnt offer him anything yet but he said he wont sell the truck since i want it)

its a very nice truck for an 89, drives nice (no power steering but i wouldnt have known if he didnt tell me, becuse its not hard at all to drive it) and no a/c but i wont worry about that right now. no power options.

basically its just a beater truck, will get decent gas mileage becuase its a small 4cyl manual tranny, and i cant fit nothing in my car at all. plenty times i wish i would have a small pickup, so im buying one.

and no, im not going nothing to it. all i want to put is a HU, and maybe 2 coax's or a cheaper component set (PG RSD's or something)

hopefully i can get ahold of the guy today to buy it :)

It'd certainly be safer driving that around on a regular basis than your other two vehicles, so I don't think that's such a bad idea at all. :)

lol the Mini is safe..

but with all the weight its slowly becoming a non-daily driver LOL

I would take that s-10 and make a straight-up boomer out of it. Older S-10

s like yours have been my choice for anything intensive and have always been easier and cheaper to fix, and tighten up given their simplicity and straightforward electrical systems.

You know you can't buy an S10 and not ghetto-fi it somehow.

I hope you don't plan on putting much weight in that thing, the 4cyl in that is about the definition of anemic.
