I had a friend that bought an 88 S10 for a few hundred bucks. It was 2WD/5 speed and had the 2.5 motor in it. Was a bit basic, but it worked. He lowered it for another few hundred and did a basic tune up/LRR tires/alignment and we were seeing nearly 30 mpg on the highway. In town was more like 17. It did all right honestly, can't complain for less than 2K for everything. The only reason it's not still on the road was because a lady pulled out in front of him. Otherwise I'm sure it would have made it to 300K (Was at 220 I believe)
