Apart from the regular stuff, do check the suspension. The S10 being stiffly sprung, chances are that the suspension might require some attention. Also, the chrome tipped eshaust ( S10 specific only) may require replacement if rusted. The difficult bit is, you will not get a replacement for the part since the chrome exhaust tip is longer made by Fiat.You can go through Amit's thread on his S10 for details on the same.

Not necessarily. Which Hyundai are you comparing, Santro or Getz?

Need your advice. - What would be the best price for a reasonably good June 2003 Palio S10, 38,000 KMS done, single owner car? The dealer is quoting 2.5 L

The S10 should easily give you that kind of FE, infact if you drive with sanity on the highways, i.e, keeping the revs below 2K, it will surprisingly return 16-18 kmpl with the a/c on!
Price is on a higher side. 1.8-2L should be more like it.
