1998 Chevy Astro Ls/awd on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for bids, I have 1998 Chevy Astro van (AWD)....I have had this for 2 years and never had any problems with this vehicle...Since I have gotten the van, I have replaced quite a few things on this van, which are normal wear/tear items, like the fuel pump,fuel filter,A/C compressor,wiper motor,oil cooler lines,rear brakes,pass. side window motor,broken window switches,etc. Just in the past few months, I have had the front rotors shaved and the front brakes replaced....The A/C blows cold and heat works....The front windows roll down just fine and the cruise control works just as well...The window rain guards were on the vehicle when I purchased it, but I have bought the bug shield,euro tail lights,new chrome rims,and even bought/installed the trailer hitch....Also you will notice on the bottom part of the front bumper (from the pics) that I also installed a few led lights to give the van a stylish look at night while driving....The led lights are activated by a On/Off switch and the switch will illuminate when you have the parking lights on....I was not a big fan of the DRL setup on the astro van, so all I did was remove the fuse from the fusebox under the dash...I will have a new fuse put in for the winning bidder....Both front windows have been tinted to match the privacy glass on the rest of the van...The van has a donut spare underneath but I'm sure by now, it is part of the vehicle...haha, so when I bought new wheels for the van, I kept one of the factory chrome plated rims to use as a full size spare and the tire that is on it is brand new and matches the tires that are on it now....Also have the 2 full size bucket seats in the basement, which I will have put back in for the winning bidder...These seats will seat 3 each.....The inspection runs out at the end of July/2014.....The only reason I am getting rid of the van is because I picked up more hours at my job and requires more driving, hence I need to downsize and look for something that will get better gas mileage and you guys know about these fuel prices...Bleh!!!
Here is the flaws of the vehicle.....The paint on the hood has cracking in it...The tires do have some tread on them but will need replaced down the road...The rear bumper cover has a couple zip ties to keep it on...The wheels will clean up somewhat pretty good, but will have some left over rust spots and pitting....The windshield has a divet hole crack, but will pass inspection...The van has the dutch doors in the back, and the flap on the pass. side is rusting out, which i have a piece of duct tape over it to prevent total corrosion....At idle, the van seems a little chuggish, but once you get moving, it rides fine....There was a po304 code that has popped up a couple times, but just haven't had the time to check it out...But overall the van drives real well and it totally driveable !! (From Previous Owner) There was some previous damage to the pass. side,near the rear, which I was never told about until, I went and picked up the vehicle and some touchups were done on the roof on the drivers side.... A deposit of $300 is due at end of auction...If you would like to pick up the van in person, then you could pay in full at time of pickup and would have to have title transferred in your name, which I have a Clean Title in hand....If you have it shipped, then the $300 would be due at end of auction, then the remaining would have to be paid in full before the shipper comes to get the vehicle....If you have any questions,feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...Thank you for looking !!! :) |

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
