Used Chevrolet S-10 trucks for sale near Carlsbad, CA

I want to give a great review for Hunter May. He has an awesome customer service. I will keep going my car maintenance with him.

This vehicle took more abuse from my dad than anything else period. We bought it used with 180K on it and put another 95K on it. The transmission died and we bought a rebuild which only lasted two years. We couldn't afford to fix it again. There were no other problems with this vehicle. No matter how hot or how cold, it would start. No matter how heavy the load, it would tow, no matter how deep the snow or mud or what ever, it wouln't get stuck. NEVER ONCE DID THIS VEHICLE STRAND US! EVER! When the transmission died, it still got my dad home from work! Other than a few things being difficult to work on there were no problems. I donated it because I couldn't afford a transmission.

I have bought about a dozen vehicles in my life. All from new car dealerships and I have never been treated with the professionalism and respect that I received from Brian and his team at Bickmore Auto Sales. I called a couple days ago to ask about the truck I wanted to buy and started working with Kent, who went over the Carfax with me then went out in the rain and cold to send me pictures of it. I got busy over the next couple days and didn't have a chance to make it in, and Kent was so polite and friendly in following up with me. When I finally made it in to look at the truck a couple days later, Kent was on vacation so Larry and Brian helped me with the purchase. I got a great deal, I absolutely love the truck and what I appreciated the most was the complete lack of high pressure sales tactics I've grown accustomed to expect from car dealers. 10/10 will be recommending Bickmore to anyone I know looking for a good deal on a good car or truck.

I bought my ZR two S-10 four-wheel-drive brand new in 2002. It’s been a great truck. I had a new 4.3 motor installed just a couple years ago after my truck was stolen and found with the engine overheated and and blown head gasket. I just went ahead and put a route brand new motor in it and the truck is just like it came off the ship of showroom floor, this truck has been to canyonland Utah from Mojave desert in death Valley plus it’s been to the Rubicon in California. I’ve had very few problems with my truck up in the past 20+ years. Yeah I believe I could still sell my truck close to $10,000 and it would be a value at that. I love my S 10.

Excellent customer service. Clear and direct and straight to the point. No xx or surprises. Go see them you will like them! Highly recommend. We got the best trade in for our car and the best deal on theirs. We will be back!

I purshased my 2002 s10 4x4 crew cab pickup truck from an ex New York Yankee Catcher in 2021. This S10 has very comfortable front seats and rides very smooth in the city and highway. It absorbs bumps very well. Its an amazing value for the money compared to a new midsize pickup truck like the Chevy Colorado which cost close to $40,000.00 and $28,000.00 and up for a used midsize pickup truck.

Very accommodating and helpful. Would highly recommend.

I bought it used and looked into numbers that this little 03 S10 has a regular LS step side extended body , it caught my eye because it had a SS hood and a Extreme front and back bumpers. After buying it i looked up numbers to find out that it has a SS drive train along with possi, and a Extreme chasse . Love that parts are everywhere.

I got my 03 S10 in 2018 with only 49k miles on it from the original owner and i absolutely love it! It has 75k miles on it now but still runs the same as the day i bought it. With the leer fiberglass bed cover and dual Flowmaster pipes it definitely stands out from the others even though its the LS model 2wd single cab but with the 4.3 vortec it gets up and goes just fine. I baby her though lol, ive only done regular routine maintenance like oil changes, clean the k&n air filter, fuel filter, transmission and coolant flush. Things you have to do for every car/truck but other than that i haven't done anything and it just runs like a top. Never left me stranded and has always fired right up like it's brand new. I gotta say its not the best road trip truck but no one buys a s10 for long trips lol back and forth to work and errands around town i couldn't be happier! I definitely trust it for long trips but im 6'1 so it gets pretty uncomfortable after 4 or 5 hours of continuous driving so we just use our Toyota camry for trips. Gas mileage is average i suppose, 17-19 mpg so im not complaining. I have nothing but great things to say about this truck! I get compliments almost every time i drive it so thats a plus lol. If you can pick a s10 up im sure you won't regret it!

Owned my truck for 10 years and no major issues, still runs strong with average maintenance upkeep. Serves it purpose as light truck to meet my demands as I dont quite need a mid or full size truck.

I bought my 2002 S10 Brand New I paid 10,200 for it from Orielly Chevy here in Tucson,Az.The Truck has been with me for 20+ years..the only major thing I've had to fix was the A/C Compressor which included accumulator receiver etc. other than that only maintenance & parts that wear out have been replaced I've been offered $15,000 but I will not sell it at this point

Very pleased with the response I received from this dealership. I've been in contact with one salesman and we are still communicating with each other about one particular car.

Except for rust, going strong at 345,000 miles. Used for hauling firewood and scrap metal and building materials. More miles hauling loads than empty. Owned 13 yrs. Had 191,000 miles when purchased. 2.2 manual trans. Excellent in snow for 2wd

Smooth and easy process when buying a new ram 2500. Aaron Keith was pleasant to deal with, knew his stuff on the RAM 2500 and worked with us to be able to drive it off the lot that day timely.

I got a lot of things accomplished with this truck. I found that you really don't need a full size truck to accomplish 99.9% of the work that a regular family requires. I hauled brush moved refrigerators and completed home renovations out of this truck. Very happy with it.

This has been my first vehicle and it's so easy to drive. Super fun too! Perfect for street driving around town and any small projects. It's super easy to park and it has excellent visibility out the back and sides. I've loved it and I'm sure you will too.

Is a “step down“ vehicle, from a Chevy Silverado, stepside, five speed owner to my S-10 was hard, but good truck with no major problems…YET.

Just picked up a 1997 f350. Tailgate was by far my best experience buying a truck and I have bought a lot in the past years!

Best lil truck ever made. Been elk hunting, mule deer, hunts, countless fishing trips with the wife and kids. Has never left me stranded. 32 years 168,552 and still going.

Flew in from Texas on a 1994 dodge Cummins manual. Truck was as described, happy with my buy.

I've owned my S10 Tahoe since 1986. I special ordered it from the factory. It's been a great truck. The 2.8L has just enough power to stay out of trouble and never get stuck, and has been rock solid reliable for 36 years. I hunt, fish, tow a boat & cut firewood with it. It gets me where I need to go.

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

Great engine and transmission Daily driver Starts and runs strong Nothing wrong mechanically Great truck for outdoors or just to get around Zr2 upgraded suspension Brand new oversized tires

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

I’ve had my s10 since I was 15 (21 now). I bought it for $450 from a junk yard and have been building it up ever since. Engine and transmission rebuild, as well as pretty much everything else except for the AC!! Just drained out the old refrigerant and added new and blows colder then any car I’ve been in. Today I re-gapped the spark plugs and put an MDS ignition in it, which after all the years of driving her finally made the engine light go away. Love that little truck to death. Will be my 1st and last.

I recently had a great experience buying a vehicle from Milaca Motors. It is very apparent that the owners care about the people they are selling their vehicles to and that they will go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are satisfied. I discovered an issue with a vehicle I had purchased from them and they gave me every option I could think of to make things right. I ended up purchasing a different vehicle from them and we are very happy with it! On top of making sure I was happy with the purchase, they did not bat an eye at completing the transaction well after their typical closing time. I will be returning when I need another vehicle.

Love my truck. Great truck in every way with 71,000 miles. I hope to drive it till I die. I’m a 69 year old female. Does great in the snow. I’ve never had any problems with it in any way.

I enjoy driving this pick up truck . Its never had any problems with the motor. Its great on gas. It looks great and performs great . Good for first time drivers.

They have a lot of selection but they didn't have the exact truck that I was looking for

I have a 20000 2.2 with manual trans that is pushing 300000 miles . I have had some minor usual repairers like alternator, starter , radiator but nothing major and it always starts .

Great process. No pressure at all and got everything done in a timely manner. I really like how laid back everyone was, but I still got all the attention I needed. Highly recommend.

They were super helpful, but never found what I was looking for. Gateway said they would kept looking for me.

I absolutely love my s10 I got ahold of a 2000 S10 Xtreme has 169449 miles on it at the moment it has really great gas mileage bealive it or not the 2.2 l4 has a bit of git up and go the Xtreme version is quite bumpy which you do feel ever bump in the road mine has the ZQ8 suspension in it but I highly recommend it if you like the xtreme version.
