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.

The vehicle performs very well, I've had it for such a long time and I've only had to do minor maintenance on it. I like the interior, and the space inside of the vehicle, upon buying the vehicle only a short time later the air conditioner died. From manufacturer there were mild discomforts about the interior that with a small amount of tinker could be fixed. The armrests were very large and obstructed the reach towards the stick. The seats were a little high up, and close to the door. I liked the amount of room, enough where me and my friends would often camp out in it. The automatic windows were quickly broken, and the passenger one was stuck for the longest time. The vehicle was not that fuel efficient, while everyone was downgrading to small cars from the economy dropping off this vehicle kept guzzling gas. I've never had many problems that were not fixable in this vehicle.
