1994 Chevrolet Astro Cs Ext 8-passenger Van- 2 Owner- Very Low Mileage on 2040-cars

US $3,000.00
Year:1994 Mileage:99000 Color: has scratches
Location:

Shawnee, Kansas, United States

Two (2)-Owner. 99,000+ mileage. Dark red metallic paint.

In past two (2) years, we have spent over $2500 in general maintenance parts alone.  All done by a certified mechanic I have personally known for over 30 years.  It runs, handles & rides even better than when we purchased it.  Price just set to recover what we put into it in parts alone.  Our loss is your gain.

You will not find an Astro with half it's age in this GOOD of condition anywhere... or for this price.  First owner was a Fire Marshall's vehicle used for Fire Safety & Prevention Education.  Nobody hardly ever rode in the van but driver, & only educational materials were transported in the back.  No towing either (YES, it does have the Factory TOW package).  Never abused or trashed.  Interior is terrific, really.  Exterior has scratches, nicks, or dings common for it's age.  A brief list of what's been serviced and replaced in the past couple of years is as follows:

MECHANICAL
All brakes & rear drums, ball-joints, shocks (Hi-End Gabriels), cat-back exhaust all the way back, all front-end steering linkage from pitman arm outward, power steering pump, a/c compressor, distributor cap/rotor, spark plugs, transmission fluid & filter, fuel pump & sending unit (all-in-one), New battery last month!

COSMETIC
We never wrecked this vehicle.  However someone did push/scrape the left rear quarter/fenderwell while parked in a lot & they left w/o notifying us.  Appears they were parked next to us and, while backing out, turned their wheel too soon (see 2 pics).  NO seat tears, burns, wear spots, or sagging head liner (usually common for this age).  A few cracks in the dash. a couple rust spots on rear bumper from chipped chrome.  Had the luggage rack, wiper arms, and exterior window post areas all the way down both sides repainted (factory black) due to flaking/sun-fade.   Hood paint worn due to polishing.  Purchased an IDENTICAL driver's seat in order to have Armrests, Bolsters, & Reclining feature added for our comfort (and I mean exact material & color- OEM & like new).  Original seat comes with it if you'd like, and is in great condition as well.  Recent detail inside & out.  New OEM carpeted floor mats in 2nd & 3rd rows too.

You'll notice in the photos that we did NOT 'SLICK' this van up with a bunch of vinyl/interior and/or tire dressing to fool anybody about what they're bidding on (like some dealers do).  These pics are bare-bones after a quick wash.  What you see is what you get... just how we prefer too!

OTHER
Recently installed a new Pioneer CD/Aux stereo with Detachable Face, Remote, and Pioneer speakers.  We just bought a pristine condition 2002 Astro to replace this 1994 because we wanted a 'hi-top'.  The 2002 has the factory mag wheels that were the last year made with the same 15" size with a 5-bolt pattern (from 2003-05 they used 6-bolt, 16" wheels & tires).  We are keeping the aftermarket wheels in the pictures, so the mags from the 2002 will be installed upon sale before pickup or transport.  They are really nice & will update the appearance of this 1994 to look like a 2002.  An option for a buyer who doesn't care for nice looking wheels (?) is to request the factory steel wheels that came on this 1994 which include unused-since-new factory center wheel covers. The tires on those wheels are fair.  I can offer a price reduction to the buyer if they request this option.

AGAIN... this is a 1994.  The last year of production was 2005.  You won't find even a 2004 Astro that is in this good of condition mechanically or cosmetically anywhere near this price.  You won't be disappointed.  Even if you just want one for a work vehicle, this will do, as actual cargo models have all been beaten to death (checkout other listings)!  Just take out the two back seats & use it.  It does have privacy glass all around to help keep your tools & belongings from being in clear/open view.  All seats are included (no missing seats like some other listings).

SERIOUS inquiries ONLY.  If you're serious, then message me if you need additional pics or information, and I will respond ASAP.  NO TRADES.  CASH or LOCAL Cashier's Check ONLY.  Must have Paypal for non-refundable deposit required.

I just drove a 2002 from California to Kansas City.  That being said, I would drive THIS 1994 Chevy Astro across the entire country without hesitation!

TITLE is CLEAN & IN-HAND.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
