My dad is looking at a low mileage chevy s10. It was owned by an old guy, it only has 36,000 miles and its a 4.3l v6. I believe it's a 2000 - 2002 not sure what year exactly. Also has 4wd. He is going to take it to our mechanic on Monday, anyone have an input as to what to check out specifically? I saw it myself and the frame seems to have a nice coating of rust. I assume the truck sits a lot since the owner is elderly and no longer able to drive. My dad doesn't drive a whole lot since he works from home, and the truck is a killer price. We don't want it to be a complete waste of money though, like my brothers 97 4runner.
