1998 Chevrolet Astro Ls Extended Passenger Van 3-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Torrington, Connecticut, United States
I'm selling my 1998 Chevy Astro AWD Van. I've had it for a year and it's been amazing in the snow (the studded snow tires help in addition to the AWD) in the Northeast but I have too many cars right now and need to clear out my driveway some. I bought it from the second owner (he had the vehicle since 36,000 miles) who used it for family trips and carrying a canoe on the roof rack. I've used it to haul kayaks, bicycles, and even a stand up jet ski with the seats removed. You can take the front seat out and let three passengers in the back have a TON or legroom, remove the rear seat to have a ton of cargo room and still carry five people, or leave both seats in and carry eight people. It's a very versatile vehicle. And because it bears repeating absolutely amazing in the snow.
But as with any 15 year old vehicle it's not perfect. For it's age the exterior is in good shape, some normal scratches and small dings around the outside. Some small sections of rust on the rear hatch, the driver's side foot well, and the sliding door foot well. Still very solid. Mechanically there are a couple items to note. The check engine light is on, if you are a CT resident the emissions test is current until 3/29/14. There is some pulsation from the front brakes and an occasional pull to either side during braking, it does not occur all the time leading me to believe a cleaning and lubrication of the caliper slides may be all that is needed. At some point in owning the vehicle the stock radio stopped working, it is included in the sale along with a mounting kit for an aftermarket radio. There is also a full factory service manual that will be included with the van (you can see it on the passenger seat in one of the pictures). The van is being sold as-is and is priced accordingly with it's age and condition. |

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
OnStar to offer 90-day driving assessment, possible insurance discount
Wed, Jan 7 2015General Motors has announced a brace of new features for OnStar, two of which could help you save money assuming you're willing to sign over some (more) personal details. The first is a driving assessment program in which OnStar takes note of certain driving parameters for 90 days, then provides the driver feedback on their driving, both individually and when compared to other drivers in the program, as well as driving tips. Think of it as OnStar's ICE version of the Nissan Leaf's CARWING feature that compares how efficient your electric driving is compared to other BEV drivers. In this case, though, certain drivers will have the chance to share their assessment with Progressive Insurance, and if the numbers are right they might get a "driving-based" discount from the insurance company. The assessment program is voluntary, and requires opting in. It will be available this summer on all new GM cars and some GM vehicles back to 2013. In case this sounds like Big Brother, let's not forget that Big Brother is already here and moved in so long ago that he's a member of the Kiwanis club and is hosting neighborhood block parties. Progressive already has a million enrollees in a program called Snapshot that tracks OBD II data to offer usage-based insurance to provide annual pricing based on how much you drive your car, with discounts of up to 30 percent. The OnStar effort is just another way to do that. The second feature is proximity offers through AtYourService, which notifies drivers to deals and information on their driving route and provides coupons from RetailMeNot and Entertainment Book. Beyond that, a deal with Priceline will let OnStar agents book hotels for you starting this year, there's a tie-in with Dunkin' Donuts, too, but we're fuzzy on those benefits, and third new feature lets Chevrolet owners know when certain parts need replacing.
