Used Chevrolet Uplander for Sale

I purchased this van at 180,000 miles and it is still going strong. I've been driving it for two-years and have only needed regular maintenance (oil change, tires, brakes). This van had several automated features (automatic doors, windows, power locks, inter-changeable dashboard display) that I have not had with any previous car. It is a great family-vehicle.

Story

Our first long trip in the vehicle was to Mount Rainier, which takes 3.5 Hours. There were six of us in the van, and the passengers in the middle and rear of the van were able to enjoy watching a dvd while in transit.

Pros

This van comfortable holds up to seven passengers, which is exactly what I need with a family of six. There is enough storage space behind the couch to hold camping supplies for the entire family. The vehicle is fully-loaded with a did player for the children so help comfort long car-rides. The seats are adjustable enough to handle myself, at 5'1" and my husband who is 6'5". I love how the side doors are automated and don't swing-out, making it easier to fit into tight parking spaces.

Cons

In previous vehicles, I've had the seat warming feature, unfortunately, I don't have this with my Uplander. I also wish the window in the middle row were able to open and close, for more air circulation. Lastly, living in Seattle, we have several large hills. When I am stopped in an "up-hill" position and need to press on the gas, the van rolls back pretty far before it moves forward, so I am afraid of hitting the person behind me.

2005 Chevrolet Uplander - Awesome vehicle!

We just bought our Uplander a year and a half ago and it has 120,000 miles. We love how great the gas mileage is, averaging almost 19 mpg in a van is amazing!! It drives very smooth, I can feel the shift from 1st gear to second gear but its not bad. The fit and finish is excellent, I was surprised. The seats seem to stain easy. Everything works great in it, the a/c seems kind of under powered but not too bad. It rides very comfortably, its not mushy and not like a buckboard. I am hoping to get 150,000 miles out of it. Over all I love it!! I'm am NOT a Chevy fan...But GO CHEVY!!!

Story

Taking my family on outings to Mall of America.

Pros

There is a lot of space. TV/DVD player with head phone jack. Anti-lock brakes. Cruise control. It has been a low maintenance vehicle. 19Mpg city.

Cons

The only thing that *bothers* me, if you could even call it a bother, is the rattling noises the interior makes, its not bad though.

2008 Chevrolet Uplander - Love my minivan

I love my Chevrolet Uplander minivan. I've had it for eights years now, and it's never given me any issues. I never wanted to buy a minivan but with kids, it was necessary. I looked a few different minivans and eventually settled on the Chevrolet Uplander minivan. We've owned other Chevrolet brand cars, so we trusted that manufacturer over its competitors. My particular van does not have all the upgrades and is pretty basic as we were on a budget when looking for this van. We had bought it used with low miles.

Story

We've taken our van on many family vacations, including a long trip to Disney World. My kids have even named her Lani. It is a treasured family car.

Pros

The best part about this vehicle is all the room. You can comfortably fit seven people in this van without any issue. We've done it many times (even with car seats). There's even enough space in the back behind the third row of seats for things like your groceries or strollers or luggage. Also, there are compartments in the back side "walls" of the van. I also like all the cup holders. Everyone has a spot to put drinks. My husband loves how zippy our van is. It is not sluggish to get moving at all.

Cons

The only negative thing with my van is that the tires tend to spin out (on hills or rainy weather). Even if I just tap the gas to get started, it will spin out.
