“2002 S-10 LS at $7,197 — the simple little truck that refuses to die.”
Pros
- S-10: dead-simple mechanics, parts everywhere, cheap to fix
- 132,261 miles is nothing for the 4.3L V6 or 2.2L four
- LS trim — the nicely equipped S-10
Cons
- 24 years old — rubber, bushings, and brake lines are age items
- Rust check underneath is mandatory at this age
- Safety tech is 2002 — buy for utility, not family duty
Analysis
The S-10 is the cockroach of small trucks: simple, fixable, and still working decades later. At $7,197 with 132,261 miles, this 2002 LS sits fairly in the $6,000–$8,500 band for clean examples — and clean is the operative word. The drivetrain will outlive us all; it’s the 24-year-old rubber, brake lines, and frame that need the inspection.
Get it on a lift and check for rust — that’s the whole diligence. If the frame is solid, you’re buying the cheapest useful truck on the market from an excellent dealer. Buy.
