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.

This has been one of the best vehicles that I have ever owned. It is an extremely tough, well built van. You can fit 8 people comfortably inside and is great for road trips. The bench seats fold down so you can hall plywood or sheetrock. Which really came in handy with the many trips to home depot after the flood in Houston. In fact the bench seats can be completely removed easily. You can even camp out in it if you want. It has been a reliable everyday driver that almost has 200k miles on it.
