Used Chevrolet Astro for Sale

The Chevy Astro van's motor is known to last forever. You don't need to worry about replacing a timing belt, because it uses a timing chain. The one I have has been beat up pretty good, but is still running well. It seems not too hard to work on the van yourself - especially underneath the vehicle.

I bought the Astro with 130,000 miles three years ago. Replaced a Jeep Cherokee with it and so happy with our choice. More cargo and smoother ride. Mine is not a soccer mom mobile. It's the toy box, and I have a long playlist. Take one seat out and you can still seat five comfortably. I can put five bikes in the back. Or skis or snowboards... climbing gear... windsurf/kitesurf rigs... or a mixture of them all. In the winter, I move the seat to the back row and you have a nice space to put ski boots on or have lunch between snow kite sessions or sleep in. Rear heat works great. No need for a rocket box, but it has factory racks so easy to do if needed. Hook up a trailer and pull four dirt bikes or two snowmobiles no worries. Right now it's winter and this van loves it. So stable on ice and snow. Good tires of course do help a lot. We ski little cottonwood country and chase wind for snow kiting, so we are often driving in blizzards. It's weight and well proportioned to its size.

I have owned my Chevy for years and it continues to treat me right! I have owned my Chevy Astro van since it was new in 1997. I have never truly had any problems with this Van! A few minor things here and there but that's it! The motor is a V6 Chevy Vortec Motor and is a real performer! I have always been able to get u to speed very quickly even though it is a bigger type of car. I also have loved my van because it is a happy medium between a full size conversion van and a type of almost minivan. I suppose it was made around the time thy were just bringing out the little Mini- vans that are out today. Like the Dodge caravans and such. I have enjoyed that it came with fancy all aluminum rims stock and it has been a good wear as far as tire tread goes too. The heater and air conditioner have always worked in tip top shape. I have always changed the oil in it every three thousand miles to make sure the motor would last along time. I will share some of the pro's and cons about my van next.
