1996 Gmc Safari Extended Passenger Van 3-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Year:1996
Mileage:138542
Location:
Oxnard, California, United States
|
Very strong running van with low mileage, drives very well. Lots of room for 3 bench seats, and a nice ceiling panel feature complete with lights, and trip computer/compass.
It is in mechanically sound condition, from what I can see. It belongs to a family member (brother) and thus, I am not the expert on it. I drove it about 7 miles in town, and the engine runs really strong. I did not detect/hear any odd engine or transmission sounds, no knocking or tappet sounds or anything like that, not that I hear. The exhaust is clean, no oil (or otherwise) clouds or visible exhaust. The transmission shifts properly, and cycles through the gears well. It drives well. It does leak some power steering fluid, however.It has a neat overhead panel with lights on the ceiling. I believe that this was an upgrade. It could seat 2-3 on each bench seat, and if you added 2 more bench seats, perhaps seating 11, or, if 2 per bench seat, 8. Very low mileage for an 18 year old car. I believe that it has rear air conditioning or at least vents in the rear as well for a/c. Despite the van's strong running/drivability, some interior trim pieces are either broken or missing, and there are some door latches that need repair, including (from my own inspection): Neither of the 2 front doors (passenger and driver) are openable by the outside latches. The doors open and shut fine from the inside. Just leave the windows open, reach in, and unlatch the door from the inside or enter through the sliding door. The hatch (rear door) won't stay up long, if not propped up, it eventually falls. The gate-open switch seems to work about 1/2 the time, intermittent. The passenger window works fine, then later, doesn't, then later, does. The rear bumper, for whatever reason, is sagging downwards. There is a broken side/panel window latch, i.e., the kind that opens up maybe 3". It doesn't affect anything if you don't open up the window, and even if you do open up the window, you only need 1 of these 2 latches, it appears. There is a missing plastic housing that covers up the seat belt on the bench seat. The driver's door arm rest has been taped/repaired and is cracked. It works fine, however. There are some stains on the carpeting in places, shown in the photos. There are 2 missing drawers of sorts in the dashboard. One was an ash tray, I think. I don't know what the other one does. The third knob on the row of knobs (above the radio) doesn't turn anything. Tires look great, and appear to have a good tread left on them. Carpeting looks fine, but does have a few stains. These can probably be eliminated. I gave the van a light scrubbing and most of everything cleaned up fine. The upholstery is in fine condition except the noted tear (about 2-3") on the driver's seat. There is a slight mis-seaming of the driver's side front quarter panel and the hood. Paint on the hood has faded. Paint has scratches and oxidation (or is it oxidization) on most sides of the van. There are some visible scratches from the paint of another vehicle, perhaps, having scraped the right (passenger) side/rear quarter panel, near the sliding door, and on the sliding door itself. There is a small dent/ding (about 3" or so) on the sliding door. On both the driver and passenger doors, for whatever reason, there is about a 5" abrasion where the black paint is coming off of the door. The rear bumper slopes downwards and maybe a little loose from what it is supposed to be like. There is about a 3" rip in the driver's seat, but something that you could easily repair. The steering wheel has been pinched, if you will, at its top. It's as though somebody took a pair of vice grips and smashed it a little. It works otherwise fine. There's a missing radio knob. The front-right bumper (corner) has a slight abrasion and perhaps indentation. I do not know if the a/c works, but would assume that, at a minimum, it needs a charge. The radio works in the front, anyway. I didn't confirm the rear or other speakers' functionality. We are selling this van on an as-is basis, and would encourage you (the buyer) to inspect and drive it before buying as the above is the case, i.e., I'm not knowledgable on vans, GM models, and don't know what is, and is not relevant to the van-buying public in this price range and vintage. We have marked it down significantly below KBB to accommodate the miscellaneous body / interior repair items, should you wish to update these items. The buyer must arrange pick up or shipping. |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
2023 GMC Hummer paint choices are out of this world
Mon, Jul 25 2022The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 came in one color: Interstellar White. Despite production issues potentially pushing Edition 1 builds into the 2023 model year, the Edition 1 will stick to being bathed in that single brilliant shade. GM Authority says it got access to the color palette on the way for the standard series Hummer EVs due next year that shows seven new galactic-themed choices on the way. Interstellar White carries on, joined by Void Black as the only no-cost colors. The others are: Afterburner Tintcoat, said to be an orange hue; Deep Aurora Metallic, said to be some kind of bronze; Meteorite Metallic, said to be a gray; Moonshot Green Matte, which we've seen on early shots of the Hummer EV SUV; Supernova Metallic, said to be dark blue; Tide Metallic, said to be a different shade of blue. GMA didn't get intel on pricing for the cost-extra colors; right now, the most expensive palette option for GMCs is White Frost Tintcoat for $1,095. However, the outlet believes Moonshot Green Metallic will be "extremely limited" and charge a super premium price. If that ends up being the case, it suggests GM has a thing about getting big green for special greens. Cadillac made Dark Emerald Frost a late option on the 2022 CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwings and charged $3,925 for the matte paint job. The brand ended production of Dark Emerald Frost in January, making the color doubly exclusive since it was offered for less than a year at the same time as customer demand far exceeded the number of Blackwings available. Anyone wanting Moonshot on their Hummer should get in line early. The 2023 GMC Hummer EV will begin production later this year. Last month, GM raised prices for the coming model year by $6,250, and raised the destination fee to $1,995. For the moment, that makes the Hummer EV 2 start at $86,245, the EV 2X at $96,245, and the EV 3X at $106,245. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
