Re: 1989 S10 advice
I can only speak for the '96 S10, but I would highly recommend this model truck to anyone. My '96 has almost 100k on it and I have had only minor issues to deal with. A very reliable and tough truck.
1800 sounds rather cheap, though. Make sure all the repairs are legit, and check with www.kbb.com and see what they say. If everything checks out, I'd say it's a good deal. Just my humble opinion... |

Re: 1989 S10 advice
I'd say if its a Solid truck, OK. But FIRST check these problem points.
I could be considered one of the S10 kings here in western Pa.. I currently own 4... plus several parts trucks.. Check the front Cab mounts. these are typical on these trucks and another bad spot is on the frame. The Frames go bad at the Rear shacklemounts. If you look underneath the rearend of the truck on the inside of the framerail you will see a piece of metal that runs to the top and bottom of the C channel. Make sure that IS intact. I have 2 trucks now with bad frames. This is NOT uncommon for these frames to go bad here. Here's my toy, aka Stomper.

Re: 1989 S10 advice
You might check under the vehicle especially at the back for rust. I had a real nice looking 91 S10 but underneath it looked like a rust bucket, I didn't figure it was worth the effort to repair.
