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 !!! :) |

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
