I bought it about a week ago, used, out in the country from a private seller.
I was looking for a useful utility vehicle that I could also get decent fuel economy. I always thought that if I ever got a pickup, it would have to be a very small one.
I thought it was a tossup between a Ford Ranger and a Chevy S10, both with the small 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission.
I started looking around on Craigslist a few weeks ago for an S10 at a decent price. The one that I bought had less miles on it that some others for sale and not a super-pretty body, but easy to do a little painting on. So I was able to get a pretty good price on it.
It also takes the same oil filter as my wife's Pontiac Sunfire.
