1984 S-10 time capsule

When was the last time you saw one of these in this condition. The price is INSANE.

They putting something in the Starbucks up in Mukilteo?

I could maybe see that price for a full size truck in that condition. Maybe. But an S10? Wow.

Mmmmm carbed 2.8V6...with a 5th gear useful only for going downhill. Ick.

Nothing like an engine with a rev range similar to a diesel, but the power of 4 harnessed small children from your good friends at GM

Thanks for making me spit my drink out on my keyboard .

There was one of these for sale up the street from me a month or so ago, looked completely rust free and still had pain on the hood/roof. My son went to check it out, said it looked like new inside; asking $2500. Gone in about 24 hours.

Maybe the seller read the article about the $100,000 Volvo advice from Wayne Carini.

. . . . and somebody bought that lovely item from a widow for $500 and is trying to flip it for a insignificant 20 times more than they paid for it!!!

For $10k you would think they could spray some bleche-wite on the tires.....

I've got a 1992 S10 with 65000 on it I'll sell for $2000.00. And mine has the fuel-injected version of the powerhouse 2.8L, V-6, all of the power of a 4-cylinder with none of the economy.

They are not good drivers either. My boss bought one when I was doing landscaping in college. I remember it being a particularly poor driver. But it was dirt cheap, maybe $5,500 or so I remember, and looked much like that one, except in red.

That guy is smoking crack, but you never know. A GM collector may think its perfect for a collection, but as a truck, there are plenty of better $10k options.

I could be talked into a 1984 Toyota 4x4 in that condition for 10k. Maybe.
