THIS IS A GOOD RUNNING/DRIVING TRUCK WITH A FEW MINOR FLAWS. FAR FROM PERFECT BUT VERY RELIABLE NO RESERVE........... 1997 CHEVROLET S10 W/ CAP. 135K MILES….5 SPEED MANUAL TRANS. MY GIRLFRIEND WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I GOT IT FROM HER IN 2008 WHEN SHE GOT HER NEW CAR. I GENERALLY ONLY DRIVE THIS TRUCK IN THE WINTER WHILE MY CONVERTIBLE IS IN WINTER STORAGE.THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER REALLY HAULED MUCH AT ALL.....A FEW HOUSE MOVES AND MY HAND TOOLS. THE 1ST 10 YEARS IT WAS DRIVEN BY MY GIRLFRIEND WHO WORKS IN AN OFFICE (dont ask me why she bought a pickup....I have no idea--LOL) IT’S A LITTLE UGLY—IT RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD. NEVER OVERHEATS, IDLES NICE, DAILY DRIVER (IVE PROBABLY PUT 5,000 MILES ON IT IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS ALONE WITH NO PROBLEMS), REGULAR OIL CHANGES, DIE-HARD GOLD BATTERY. ¾” RUBBER MATT FOR THE BED. BODY IS ROUGH BUT SHE STILL HAS LOTS OF LIFE LEFT IN HER. IM ONLY SELLING BECAUSE I NEED A 4 DOOR CAR FOR MY NEW JOB. below I have noted what I know about the truck....I certainly dont want to dwell on the negative's because this is a reliable truck and I, without hesitation, would take this on a long distance trip, in fact I have alot recently for work. Im just trying to make evryone aware of the imperfections. THINGS TO NOTE: 1)THE BACK WINDOW IS OUT BUT THE TRUCK HAS A CAP AND I HAVE SEALED THE TOP (with foam sealant/silicon sealant and a top layer of oil based enamel paint) SO ITS TOTALLY 100% RAIN PROOF (I DID THIS FOR MY DOG—SHE FREAKED WHEN I PUT HER BACK THERE…REMOVING THE WINDOW SO SHE COULD STICK HER HEAD IN THE CAB SOLVED THIS) 2)DRIVER MIRROR WAS KNOCKED OFF AND CRUEDLY PUT BACK ON WITH SCREWS AND SILICON SEALANT. 3)CATALYTIC CONVERTER RATTLES SOMETIMES (***I HAVE A BRAND NEW BOLT ON CATALYTIC CONVERTERTHAT COST ME 160.00 BUT HAVE YET TO INSTALL IT (INCLUDED) 3)REAR BUMPER BENT DOWN A LITTLE FROM FENDER BENDER ABOUT 5-6 YRS AGO. NEVER FIXED (NOT TOO BAD) SEE PICS..... 5) SCREW HOLES FROM cb ANTENNA MOUNT 6)GENERAL SCUFFS FROM AGE. 7)THE TAILGATE IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL BUT WAS AFFECTED BY THE FENDER BENDER MENTIONED EARLIER. (tailgate makes a knocking sound when opened) 8)SCREW HOLES IN THE DASH FROM MY CB AND SATALITE RADIO MOUNTS. 9)CRACKED WINDSHEILD (BEEN THAT WAY FOR 5 YRS) 10)A/C BLOWS WARM (IF YOU PUT A CAN OF FREON IN IT BLOWS COLD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO-WHICH MEANS THE COMPTRESSOR IS OK BUT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM) 11) YOU WILL NEED A JACK...IVE ALWAYS CARRIED MY ROLLING FLOOR JACK WITH ME WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. SPARE TIRE IS OK BUT IS 15 YRS OLD. 12) SPEEDOMETER CABLE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON.....IT OCCASSIONALLY CLICKS. ----I HAVE TRIED TO MENTION EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW GOOD AND BAD ABOUT THE TRUCK. ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK. WANT A SPECIFIC PIC, JUST ASK. NO RETURNS...ALL SALES ARE FINAL. 500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE AT END OF AUCTION VIA PAYPAL.
