blue book is 5300
WTF. Way too much. Its a 4 banger beater that's 13 years old. Hell no to 5300 unless it performs fellatio.
O noes!

cant find any decent ones for that price around here
yup....
Not perfect, but I paid $600 and it didn't need a single repair.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

find me one around here lol some people do get great deals from those just wanting to get rid of them
Yeah man, i would just keep looking for that special, undeniable deal. That S-10 you are looking at is in good cosmetic and structural condition, but it's 2wd, 4cyl(most useless pickup truck configuration), and 100K+ miles. For a daily driver, if I am buying a pickup, it has to have some kind of usefulness lol. Especially at the price you could find a good used old full size 4X4 chevy for.

yeah i was as surprised as my neighbor was with his 99 silverado 4wd that is nearing 200k , blue book lists it in the 9k range , and he has seen newer trcks with low miles sell closer to 5k , LMAO
only plus's with that s10 is 5spd and red(since your a red addict) , but still doesnt look to bad , i think 2k would be a good price too
after my cavy just got totalled, i picked up a 2000 with the 2.2l
its an auto, LS extended cab. only has 34,000 on it. body/paint is mint.
been rust proofed, has bed liner, tanaeu [however its spelled] cover.
drivin by an old guy that died, always garaged, not a even a tiny speck of rust on the car.
and paid under the kelly blue book value of it. was worth $5,500, paid only $4,300 for it.
truck is in show room/brand new condition!!!! i would pass on that. get one with wayyyy
lower miles for sure! i would only pay like $2,000 at MOST for that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but really wouldnt
want it to be $2,000 i would talk em down even further!
KBB is 5400? Well all im saying is it has over 100k on it, i bet anything the dealer paid under 1000 bucks for it....easily under 1000

If you're looking to spend $2500 a dealer is the last place to look.... Also 4x4 or bust for a winter beater.
Start hitting up craigslist.... You can find 4x4 s10's, full sizes, blazers, toyotas, nissans, jeeps, etc all the time for that price. My dad just picked up a mint 90 chevy 1500 4x4 5.7 5 speed with 61k for $2400. The deals are out there you just have to be the first one on the scene with the cash. A full size would be perfect that way you wouldn't have to tow with that colorado.
Well that's dumb, link didn't work. Anyway, it was KBB saying that truck is worth less than 2K private party.
O noes!

i actually looked into a silverado and not many manuals around here for sale
I like it a lot but i have to agree with everyone.. i live in PA and i wouldnt want a 2wd unless i got a hella deal, and i dont know how close to the lake u live.
Look in classifieds. If you were willing to travel to PA i could look around for you on some classified websites?

the v6 ext cab i'm considering is black lol
have you driven an S10? The colorados are a lot better then the S10's. My S10 couldn't get around in the RAIN. Let alone snow
