Opinions on this s10?

[-YumYum97s10-]

http://www.arkautosales.com/vehicled...?VID=149344438

The mileage is about 117k, I would try and shoot for $3k.

Thanks in advance for opinions, and suggestions!

[blake293209]

Looks pretty good. I think 3000-3500 is the highest they'd ever get for it though honestly. 3k might be a decent price. is there anything wrong with the paint on the fender well of the bed?

[beandip]

i was going to say something about the passenger fenderwell....looks to be rust maybe?

if the interior isnt torn up i'd say go for it. just all depends on what your plans are for that truck.

[-YumYum97s10-]

yeah, looks like it has some bubbling around the wheel well, definitely something I would look at a lot closer..plans for the truck are simple, daily that I might lift up a little bit, simple and clean. thanks for the input so far!

If you inspect the truck and see that there is more rust i would definitely try to go lower on the price. just my opinion though.

[Chiefron]

Both the posibility of rust and apparent lack of interior photos makes me nervous too.

[BlazerZR5]

I'd hold out for a newer model. I own both versions of second gens and '00 up are my personal favorites. That is pretty expensive for a '96 too.

[monster 98 s-10]

2500 and a full tank of 98 octane..

[wildman ss]

i wouldnt pay more than 1500 to be honest, low miles but doesnt list the mileage?
if the fenders are bubbling up it's a only a matter of time before the cab corners rot all the way out

also idk if the door is open or what but this looks weird to me

[556mm]

I'd try to talk him down to 2k.

[JeremyCollins13]

the door probably sags causing that weird gap.

[mesterz2889]

seems like too much to spend i wouldnt pay over 2 for that but then again i wouldnt buy anything 97 and under either

not your area but cheaper and better trucks can be had for less

[♣ MiniDutch ♠]

talk him down, to expensive for a 96.

[cpolaris502]

I agree with them. Expensive for it's age, rust is definitely starting.

My 1999 Bravada will be posted today for $3,500.

[beandip]

^3500 is cheap, would sell for 5-6 clean down here.

IMO 2000 is my favorite year, on the 2.2 there is no EGR and no smog pump, so its a win win. 4.3 i'd try avoid that smog pump crap.

[-YumYum97s10-]

thanks for the advice guys, Im gonna try and keep looking for something, hopefully 2000+

And $3500 is more on the high side compared to whats for sale up here. Mine is mint, 171,000 miles.

[mesterz2889]

i have a 00 bravada im about to try and sell for 3700 166k

$9,976!!! Ouch.

That's ridiculous. you can find mint condition low mileage 4.3 with 5 speed (or auto) zq8's cheaper than that.

Crew cab s10's don't even sell for 10k anymore.

crew cabs around here go for much more, with much higher mileage lol

[Blackblaze94]

I payed 6k for my 03 ZR2 blazer fully loaded in mint shape with a 5 speed at 80k, thats insane

Bout time you get another s10. You still have the crown vic?

[RQCustoms]

96 dime. anywhere from 1400-1900. in my area at least.

[beandip]

Yeah that s10 is a bit high for $9K....but then again it looks really clean and well kept. which would be worth it IMO.

Im way over due for an s-series, lol, yeah, still got the vic.

^I have two 2000 model s-series one does,one doesn't.the weird thing is my '00 Sonoma doesn't its a vin4 and my '00 S10 does its a vin5(flex). I always figured the GMC model would have the extra stuff.arent they supposed to be higher end?lol.

not having to deal with the secondary air shit is a plus.

[slammed isuzu]

The 1996 S-10 you posted is way overpriced (as everyone else has pointed out). It looks decent, as far as the body goes, but should be more in the $1500 - $2000 range, tops.

The 2003 you posted is a VERY nice truck!! I see it only has 41,XXX miles, and looks brand new on the inside. One of the better S-Series I have seen in a while (especially for being 10 years old).

However, almost $10k is high!! If you could get them talked down on the price, it would be an amazing truck to have.

You might have better luck checking private party sellers. Dealerships are typically going to be quite a bit higher on their prices than a private seller will be. Plus, a private seller would also be more inclined to negotiate on the price.....typically speaking.

Im still trying to get the 03, it just looks to be in amazing condition,lol..Im on craigslist several times a day looking out, and Im also watching a couple on govdeals..just waiting on the right one, gonna jump on it like a fat kid on a cupcake lol

That '03 looks to be in amazing condition, with extremely low miles. If the seller will come down on the price a bit, I would definitely try to get it.

If not, no big deal. Just be patient, one will come along. Luckily, there are LOTS of s-10s out there!!

[The Griff]

I don't like the color.

[-YumYum97s10-]

I emailed the lady, if the s10 on govdeals falls through, im gonna go test drive it Tuesday, if its still there

[likaroc13]

good luck with your search...just saw a post you made in the 1st Gen forum, & i noticed you're from N. Charleston...my wife and I moved to Charleston a little over a year ago...we lived in West Ashley for the first year & just moved to N. Charleston last month...you make it out to any of the cruise-in's or car shows?

Good to see a local on here! Ive gone up to the one at Kmart on Saturday nights before..friend is big into Subies, and wanted to take me ride. Thats been about it though..I know they do have them at Bessingers over in West Ashley occasionally..

i wasn't aware of anything at Kmart...but i do regularly attend the cruise-in at Bessingers....and i heard about a car show at O'reillys in Goose Creek a couple weeks ago, & i drove by to check it out...some nice stuff there

you may not know, but Street Rods Unlimited also started a new cruise-in at Northern Tool in North Charleston...it's every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 5pm-until

[-YumYum97s10-]

cool, maybe we can get a group together, I know s10sonoma on here is local, he has a nice truck

[-YumYum97s10-]

The blue extended cab got gone! Fuuuuuuuuuu...dammit.

That sucks man. It was a nice truck, but it was a bit over priced though.

Like I said before, there are a lot of S-series trucks out there. You will find one!

[-YumYum97s10-]

^ I appreciate it, man! Ive been looking constantly..I'm liking this one..

http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/in...r_id=319996803

Would try and talk him down due to some dents and dings, but I like it because its an 03, last year of the s10 and its white, and extended cab..waiting on him to email me back now..

[-YumYum97s10-]

Now also looking at an 03 Frontier. v6, 111,000 miles for $8k, only reason Im considering it is because its at a respectable dealer, and my brother has an 04..

[BlazerZR5]

Frontiers suck! 2 of my buddies have one and have had nothing but expensive problems with them like water leaks,electronic throttle body,charging problems.

[likaroc13]

Going strictly from the pictures, that things is CLEAN!!! Very nice looking S-10, and extremely low miles.

[-YumYum97s10-]

Hell yeah. If you could score it for anythign less than $2500, you should be safe. I assume you cant test drive the vehicles from that site or anything, right?

[-YumYum97s10-]

govdeals truck went for about $2,500, so i let it go..now watching a 96 ranger with 80ish thousand miles lol..

[-YumYum97s10-]

post that im watching a ranger..not a single **** is given by anyone

[BlazerZR5]

^lol! do what you do. that means you'll be on the danger ranger forum instead. I will personally miss ya but,as a buddy of mine says"It be that way sometimes."you'll get plenty of ridicule from us if you do get one.personally I'd buy a ford over a dodge and that's about it. ill always be a Chevy guy.
