Its a decent truck. The 2.8 has 144k miles. 700r4 is NEW and has maybe 10k. It has a little stutter off idle, but I drive it 14 miles a day, Mon-Fri.

I need to get a bigger truck to haul the boat and yard work stuff. The S10 just isn't cutting it. It doesn't do well with a heavy load (500+lbs).

Is it an ugly truck? What should it be priced at? I haven't had so much as an inquiry about the ol' S10. If you could give me any advice to make it sell that would be cool.

I had an '84 S15 Jimmy. Everything worked on it but it wasn't the super nicest truck. I ended up settling for $1000 for it after 3 months on the market at 1300.

Looks like a good little pickup. To be honest the wood flatbed may be a turnoff for some buyers.

I'd say 999 OBO.

Someone could run a lawn care business out of that thing, so it has work horse potential.

Lol. Well, I'll try to post it on craigslist at that price. I just need to sell it so I can get something bigger. I'd be happy for 1000. Thanks for the help guys.

I ended up selling it for $800. Lame.

Honestly dude, I think the custom bed hurt you on that one. Most people don't want a giant bed on a little V6 truck like that.

eh, it was what it was. A wierd little truck.

I saw the guy driving it around a couple weeks ago. He seems to be enjoying it. The truck was all buffed/waxed and detailed. Its okay. I got a bigger one and the one I wanted!

What truck did you end up getting?

blue89 · Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 8:24 am Post subject:

97 Tahoe

vortec 5.7
35x12.5r15 BFG Mud Terrains (not good for mileage)
RCD 6" lift, urethane bushings, stainless brake lines
VICTORY RED (yuck)
Gray interior (perfect)
2 row with optional 3rd
170k miles (doesn't show it)
has all stock tools, spare, jacks, cargo nets, deck with cd.
pretty much a showroom floor new truck, never modded except for tires and lift.
MINT MINT MINT

I'll take pictures and post them later. Its a must see. Very clean.

$5600 from a dealer!

Damn, that's a steal. Shocked

Which honestly makes me a bit supsicious that they might be trying to unload it.

blue89 · Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 8:38 am Post subject:

Nope, they were asking 8600! I talked them down quite a bit. Lol.

I knew what blue book was, I knew it had miles and had been modified, and it also needs new road tires, as the current ones wont last long on pavement. I got a really good deal. Compared to the other trucks it had 30-50k more miles, but was by far the cleanest. I really didn't care that it was lifted.

Ahh, I belive they would ask $8600 for a truck with 170K. Laughing

Are you going to leave it jacked like that, or are you going to drop it for towing and hauling?

I have a 10" drop stinger which sits almost perfect for my boat and flatbed util trailer. But I might see if I can lift it just a little more in the rear, just because I can. Lol.
