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 absolutely love this van. I have been driving Astro vans for years. It is big enough to fit eight people in it when the seats are in it, but if you take the seats out, there is a ton of room. I have taken it camping and slept in the back of it with no problems. The body is holding together pretty good for being 16 years old, and it is still running strong at over 120,000 miles. I built some shelves in the back to hold tools for work, which just adds to the space. It doesn't have any flashy gadgets that will just break. It is solid and to the point, a reliable vehicle to get me where I need to go. It has a built-in towing package, which is great for towing the camper or the boat. I have never had any issues towing the things I have needed to with it. The rear has Dutch doors, which I prefer over the double doors. If I open the hatch, I can sit on the bumper in the rain without getting wet, and it's easy to open up and just throw groceries in the back. The seats are comfortable and have good lumbar support. I like the fact that it has a 12v charge port in the rear, so I can plug in an air inflate while camping or plug in a 12v cooler. All in all, it's a comfortable, dependable and spacious vehicle, that fits my needs perfectly.
