Used Chevrolet Venture for Sale

The Venture and its siblings were powered by GM's 3.4 L LA1 V6, rated at 180 hp (134 kW). After 1999, the engine was slightly redesigned to produce an extra 5 hp (4 kW), for a total of 185 hp (138 kW), and the alarm system for seatbelts, door ajar, low fuel, etc., have been changed. All Ventures used a four-speed automatic transmission. The Venture was one of the few minivans to have an eight-passenger seating configuration as an option when most minivans seated up to seven passengers.

Overall, it has been a very reliable vehicle. However, you might find yourself replacing parts on this vehicle more often than not because the parts are cheap and therefore may not last as long, but the good thing is that they are easy to find.

My Venture is a great van. We have had a few issues regarding the air conditioning and the fuel pump, but I am almost positive it is because we used the vehicle while living in Mexico for a year, which put both the air conditioning and the fuel pump under higher than usual strain. Music is really important to me, and I love the sound system. Nothing fancy, but the sound quality is great. We also used this vehicle while I worked in an orphanage. We have piled tons of kids in, and the van has been through quite a beating. It's really easy to clean inside and out. It's really roomy inside as well. We were able to move all of our possessions back to the united states without needing a trailer. We have had an issue with a tire, but I am pretty sure it is not a problem with the vehicle per say, but with the tire we put on it. The roads in Mexico where we lived are TOUGH, with tons of potholes and speed bumps. Not any car/truck/van would be able to withstand the beating we gave our venture. Even with all the miles we have on it, it rides great. I can't say it has been my favorite vehicle, and we have had some problems, but our Venture has been reliable and has made some really long trips. At a good price, I would buy another one.
