To Buy or Not To Buy?
This is one of my best friends’ 1992 S10. It has 253k on the odometer. I told him I’m looking for a work/beater truck and he told me I could buy it off him if I wanted. He’s asking 3k for it, and has put a good bit of work into it. He’s redone a lot of the wiring, new weather seals, new head gasket and associated work, new motor and transmission mounts and has redone the ventilation system as well as other odds and ends. The only things that I’m slightly hesitant about are that the 1) the engine has a shake to it and 2) there’s some rust bubbling through in the corner of the drivers side door area. He said that the engine has new spark plugs and that it may just need new wires to fix the shake if it’s missing like he suspects it may be. As for the rust, I wouldn’t want it to get really any worse than it is now. Is there a good way to stop it without getting too involved in the process? Thanks for any tips/tricks, I’ve never owned an older vehicle like this before!
