1985 Chevrolet S-10 review from North America
"Like the saying goes.. BIG things come in small packages!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I have had very few problems with this truck, and the ones that I did have were minor.
The biggest problem that I had with this truck was the bottom seam on the drivers side door. Due to its age, the bottom seam rusted out completely making it hard to close the door, but a little bit of Bondo and a few sheet metal screws fixed that easily enough.
The only other problems that I have had with my truck were the back shocks that needed to be replaced and I had a couple of leaky valves... but once again the problems were easily corrected.
General comments?
I bought this truck being a new driver, and having very little experience.
My main reason for buying this truck was the fact that I had driven my dads s-10 for a short time and I loved the truck... so when I saw mine up for sale I had to take it, and at 400 dollars it was an excellent deal!
