1998 Chevy Astro Van Rwd, 254,478 Miles, Runs Good, With Many, Many Extras! on 2040-cars
Wyandanch, New York, United States
Up for auction is a well-cared for Chevy Astro. This Astro Van has the perfect set up for Road Trips, Tail Gate Partying, and Work. Fact is that Engine Oil is the life blood of your vehicle’s engine and I always changed it every 3 months or 3000 miles (usually every 3 months). I drive daily about 10 miles to and from work and school. And on the weekends I rarely go over 25 miles. I got this Astro in 2009 and I have done plenty of work to it which I have listed. I will also be including in the auction all the original working parts I removed, and extra parts I haven’t had the chance to replace. All parts replaced were new except for the hydraulic brake booster. I had many more plans for this Astro but unfortunately my situation has changed and I no longer have the space or funds to keep it. I live in the Bronx but the van is currently at my in-laws house in Wyandanch NY, L.I.E. off exit 51. The Good = Religiously changed the oil and oil filter, Transmission
filter and fluid, Preformed a FULL Tune up, REPLACED the water pump, thermostat,
upper and lower hoses, heater control valve, thermostatic fan clutch, tensioner
pulley, idler pulleys, alternator, drive belt, vacuum hoses, The ENTIRE ac
system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, expansion valve) front shocks, rear
shocks (replaced with air shocks controlled by an air valve under rear bumper)
all steering linkages, Hydraulic brake booster (used), Master cylinder, Repaired
spare tire mount and winch cable mechanism, Repaired oil fill tube and mount, within
the past year I have REPLACED, Front wheel bearings, front rotors, and brake
pads, rear drums with all hardware and mechanisms and brake shoes, Flushed and
bled entire brake system, egr valve, catalytic converter, muffler and pipe. The Not so Good = The paint (obviously from the pictures the hood and front
fenders need help). A small oil leak (not a drip but when I change the oil
there is some residue around the pan). The transmission slips a little when
cold but once it warms up its good to go. A small exhaust leak (muffler shop
would not warranty its work, small opening before cat). The ball joints clunk (ALL
ball joints are included in the auction!). The driver window sticks every once
in a while (just wait 15 seconds). Worn Idler control arm (causes front end
vibration at 70-75mph stops at 80pmh). The Extras!!! = New tires with less than 1,000 miles! (New valve stems and balancing). New extra fifth tire, Aftermarket alarm, Air Horns (also connected to alarm when triggered). K&N air filter, Yellow top optima battery, JVC detachable face cd radio receiver with front usb port, ipod interface and remote control. 1000 watt Audiopipe amp, Premium Scosche wire kit, Scosche farad 500k capacitor. 2 MTX 12” Bass box (woofers are beat up bad but still thump hard). 2000 continuous / 4000 peak watt power inverter wired independently from vehicle wiring system to prevent damage (using optima battery separate terminals). Custom made console/shelves to house inverter, amp, amp remote and capacitor. Used H.I.D kit removed from a Saturn View the same light set up High Low Beam 9005, 9006 (not installed). Heavy duty leaf springs (not installed). Upper, Lower, Left and Right ball joints (not installed). Extra lug nut covers (tend to disappear a lot). Extra Dash trim blank (original was drilled through for alarm warning light). New in box extra-long wide angled rearview mirror. New in box L.E.D. amp power fuses (x4). Factory radio and key fob and 4 keys 2 aftermarket fobs. Haynes repair manual, Class 3 hitch with wiring kit (only used once, I jumped the gun when I was offered a free boat and trailer but the offer fell through horribly). For the drive home a FULL Tank of gas ($100 value) Fresh Oil and Oil Filter changed at exactly 254,433 miles, and Brand New Front and Rear Anco Wiper Blades!!! Good Luck Bidding and please serious buyers only text me at 646-734-7386 with any questions you may have. Thank You. This vehicle is being SOLD AS IS, Even though this Astro Van has been cared for and maintained it does have 254,478 miles on it and other problems that I am not aware of can still arise with driver abuse and regular wear and tear. |

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
Wed, May 22 2024When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
