I have been searching for a used S-10 pickup. One of the 87-93 models. So far I have only found a few that were not completely worn out and rusted through. Today I looked at a 91 with 180,000 miles on it. Book value in excellent condition retail was $3,000. They were asking $4,900 for it. I could only get them down to $4,000. Then I looked at a 93 model, it was only showing 76,000 on the odometer but it looked like it had 3 times that much on it. The passengers side door was rusted out, the left front fender had been replaced, the seat belts wouldn't latch, the paint was peeling on the tailgate and the bottom of it had rust, plus the dashboard was cracked in 3 places. Get this they were asking $5800 for it. I felt at the most the truck was a $1500-$2000 truck. All I could get them down to was $3800.

Why do people think these trucks are worth so much?
