Could not pass it up

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

My bank had this parked in the parking lot with a For Sale sign on it.
A 1995 S-10 extended cab Chevy PU.
New tires, hard shell bed cover with lock, clean interior, paint good condition, rebuilt 4 cylinder engine with documented paper work which now has 26,000 miles on it.
The lady that works in my bank was selling it to take the money for a down payment for a new Jeep for her son's graduation present.

$2,200......I bought it. Drives like a new sewing machine.
A very good short distance truck, to haul trash, a run to walmart, church functions, taking blades to the Fedex drop off fishing or what ever.
I'll keep the 7.3 Powerstroke in its stable for long hauls and pulling.

I drove it close to 100 miles today. Gets around 21 - 25 miles to the gallon from what I figured.
Not bad IMO.

2WD gets much better mileage then the 4WD. Great buy.

Paul's going to have the radio buttons worn out before he gets his license.  ;)

I just bought a Colorado,a white one too. No extended cap.Mine's a 2010,has 120,000,paid $5000 for it. I guess I should of been shopping in SC.  ;D
I was looking at alot of Ford Rangers,them things are all over the place. Maybe because alot bought them and alot don't like them.  ;D  I was finding the same milage,but 1998-2000.
Have fun with it Paul. I doubt the rear wheels will be smoking much.

   Congrats on the new find. Looks like a real deal.

   Back when my son was at home and in school he had a summer job putting out gypsy moth traps for the USDA or the State. He was using his new Chevy Silverado 4WD in the woods and such. I made a trip to Escambia County Fla and bought a beat up little Ford Ranger from an old family friend with a car lot there. Put a new windshield in, new alternator, and Sean replaced the seat with one from the junkyard and nothing else as long as we had it. I don't know how much money it saved me while we had it. Every time I'd drive or see someone drive it I'd think of how much we saved by not driving one of the bigger 4WD trucks. Just adding it to our insurance dropped our rate about $60/year since we had 3 drivers and 4 vehicles. Sean made enough off mileage that summer to pay for it and offered to buy it but I told him I'd just keep it.

   One of our former German exchange students came back with a scholarship to Marshall and borrowed it to take her stuff up there and I never got it back. She drove it a couple years up there, came home here for Christmas one year and totaled it down the creek a few miles on her way to town then ended up with my similar sized Isuzu (Chevy S-10 clone I believe) which I also lost.

Nice truck. I had an '86 regular cab bought used that I learned to drive stick on. It was my daily driver until I bought an '02 regular cab new and drove that for 7.5 years and 134K miles. Great truck, the only thing it needed in that time was a fuel pump. Despite the limited ponies under the hood it was fun to drive with the 5 speed. A growing family had me moving to a crew cab otherwise I'd still be driving it. As noted by others, us rust belt guys have some envy of deals like this on trucks that haven't rotted away.

I bought a new S10 around that time. If I remember correctly, it had a pretty good differential that gave it decent traction with the rear wheels. I had an old Chevy PU before that and one wheel would spin and it would get stuck on wet grass.
