My college roomate called me today and said that he is looking at getting a 95 S-10. The truck has about 105K miles on it and appears to be in pretty good condition. I know that a lot of you guys have S-10s so I figured you could tell me what kind of issues he may be facing. What should be replaced at this point (timing belt?) based on the mileage? And what should a good price be? I don’t know if it is the V6 or the 4 cyl. or if it is 4wd or 2wd, but any ballpark would be helpful. Thanks in advance guys. ---

I got a call from my buddy this morning here is what he is looking at: 1995 S-10 4 cyl. w/ 5spd RWD Short cab w/ extended bed Decent shape both inside and out 105K miles Price is $1,400 If you guys could let me know what maintanence should have been done on this car by 100K or what he should expect to fix, I would really appreciate it. My buddy is pretty tight on cash, but his Saturn is dying on him and he needs to replace it. Thanks! ---

1400 doesn’t sound like a bad price…provided it’s relatively clean in/out. FWIW I bought a '98 S-10 same model/options as the above, brand spanking new, for 9.5K right off the lot ---

I thought the price was really good too. I think the biggest reason that the price is low is because he is buying it from one of our old college roomates. ---

I put 140k on mine and it needed almost nothing. Plugs, wires, and a distributor cap at about 100K. Timing chain - so no belt to change. Changed the catalytic converter and o2 sensor once. Never even needed a clutch. ---
