My truck is now for sale and will be available in Feb ‘09. This vehicle is my daily driver which I’d continue to drive it daily if a family member wasn’t selling the Tahoe I’m getting.

The Facts

• 2001 Chevrolet S10 - Still gets 20/24 MPG (city/highway)
• ~130,000 miles - Mostly highway as I used to travel inter-state a lot
• ZQ8 Suspension - Lowered from the factory/OEM
• Premium Wheels from factory/OEM
• V6 Engine - 4.3L with 2WD automatic transmission
• Extended cab with 3rd door and bed liner
• Single Owner - Adult Owned never in a collision
• Will be available in February ‘09

The Price

• $5350
• Have title in hand
• Overall KBB vehicle condition is ‘good’ to ‘fair’; surface blemishes but mechanically very strong
• Price will go up - As I fix items and improve its condition, will have receipts.

The Good

• Well maintained interior and mechanical
• New electrical in Dec ‘08 - plugs, wires, rotor, cap
• New performance cold air intake and filter in Dec ‘08
• New cooling system in Jan ‘07 - water pump, intake gaskets, radiator, hoses, fluids and flush
• New tires at ~110,000 mile mark - good tread condition
• New battery in March ‘07
• New headlights in Nov ‘08
• Recent alignment and tire balance check - Nov ‘08
• Transmission serviced with a fluid, filter, and gasket change - May ‘09
• Drive shaft serviced with u-joints checked/replaced and new drive shaft mount - May ‘09

The Bad

• Normal wear for a 2001 vehicle - it is ~7.5 years old
• Some minor rust spots on rear bumper - A good detail job would really clean up the truck
• Fuel level sending unit sometimes goes flaky - fuel level gauge will flick to ‘E’ for a moment and then back to its correct reading
• SES light from a blocked emission valve - apparently has no effect on MPG performance though
• Two lights on the radio are out - preset buttons 3 and 6

The Trades

• Would only be interested in an older Ducati or RC51
