1996 Gmc Safari Extended Passenger Van 3-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Oxnard, California, United States
|
Very strong running van with low mileage, drives very well. Lots of room for 3 bench seats, and a nice ceiling panel feature complete with lights, and trip computer/compass.
It is in mechanically sound condition, from what I can see. It belongs to a family member (brother) and thus, I am not the expert on it. I drove it about 7 miles in town, and the engine runs really strong. I did not detect/hear any odd engine or transmission sounds, no knocking or tappet sounds or anything like that, not that I hear. The exhaust is clean, no oil (or otherwise) clouds or visible exhaust. The transmission shifts properly, and cycles through the gears well. It drives well. It does leak some power steering fluid, however.It has a neat overhead panel with lights on the ceiling. I believe that this was an upgrade. It could seat 2-3 on each bench seat, and if you added 2 more bench seats, perhaps seating 11, or, if 2 per bench seat, 8. Very low mileage for an 18 year old car. I believe that it has rear air conditioning or at least vents in the rear as well for a/c. Despite the van's strong running/drivability, some interior trim pieces are either broken or missing, and there are some door latches that need repair, including (from my own inspection): Neither of the 2 front doors (passenger and driver) are openable by the outside latches. The doors open and shut fine from the inside. Just leave the windows open, reach in, and unlatch the door from the inside or enter through the sliding door. The hatch (rear door) won't stay up long, if not propped up, it eventually falls. The gate-open switch seems to work about 1/2 the time, intermittent. The passenger window works fine, then later, doesn't, then later, does. The rear bumper, for whatever reason, is sagging downwards. There is a broken side/panel window latch, i.e., the kind that opens up maybe 3". It doesn't affect anything if you don't open up the window, and even if you do open up the window, you only need 1 of these 2 latches, it appears. There is a missing plastic housing that covers up the seat belt on the bench seat. The driver's door arm rest has been taped/repaired and is cracked. It works fine, however. There are some stains on the carpeting in places, shown in the photos. There are 2 missing drawers of sorts in the dashboard. One was an ash tray, I think. I don't know what the other one does. The third knob on the row of knobs (above the radio) doesn't turn anything. Tires look great, and appear to have a good tread left on them. Carpeting looks fine, but does have a few stains. These can probably be eliminated. I gave the van a light scrubbing and most of everything cleaned up fine. The upholstery is in fine condition except the noted tear (about 2-3") on the driver's seat. There is a slight mis-seaming of the driver's side front quarter panel and the hood. Paint on the hood has faded. Paint has scratches and oxidation (or is it oxidization) on most sides of the van. There are some visible scratches from the paint of another vehicle, perhaps, having scraped the right (passenger) side/rear quarter panel, near the sliding door, and on the sliding door itself. There is a small dent/ding (about 3" or so) on the sliding door. On both the driver and passenger doors, for whatever reason, there is about a 5" abrasion where the black paint is coming off of the door. The rear bumper slopes downwards and maybe a little loose from what it is supposed to be like. There is about a 3" rip in the driver's seat, but something that you could easily repair. The steering wheel has been pinched, if you will, at its top. It's as though somebody took a pair of vice grips and smashed it a little. It works otherwise fine. There's a missing radio knob. The front-right bumper (corner) has a slight abrasion and perhaps indentation. I do not know if the a/c works, but would assume that, at a minimum, it needs a charge. The radio works in the front, anyway. I didn't confirm the rear or other speakers' functionality. We are selling this van on an as-is basis, and would encourage you (the buyer) to inspect and drive it before buying as the above is the case, i.e., I'm not knowledgable on vans, GM models, and don't know what is, and is not relevant to the van-buying public in this price range and vintage. We have marked it down significantly below KBB to accommodate the miscellaneous body / interior repair items, should you wish to update these items. The buyer must arrange pick up or shipping. |

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
