Used Chevrolet Astro for Sale

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.

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.

THE ASTRO VAN IS VERY RELIABLE. IN THE MANY YEARS WE HAVE OWNED IT, IT REQUIRED FEW REPAIRS. It was roomy and comfortable and the back seat could fold down for transporting things, still leaving front and second seats for people. The gas mileage was not that great, but average for a van of that type. It ran smoothly and had very decent acceleration, brakes and handling. I felt very safe driving it. I was rear ended by a vehicle once while driving it. The other car sustained a lot of damage, but the astro just needed a bumper replacement. My main complaint about this vehicle was the very poor paint job. Within 4-5 years of buying it, the paint began to peel off in many areas. It was past the warranty, so the company would not repaint it. Pretty soon half of the paint was off, exposing the gray metal base. it cost a lot of money to paint it because it had no0t been done right to begin with.
