2003 Chevrolet Astro Ls Ext Window Van, 8 Passenger, Rear Heat/ac, Dutch Doors on 2040-cars

2003 CHEVROLET ASTRO EXTENDED BODY  8 PASSENGER VAN

THIS VAN WAS PURCHASED AND HAS LIVED ALL IT'S LIFE IN ARKANSAS WHERE SALT IS ONLY USED TO SEASON FOOD. IT IS 100% RUST-FREE WITH A CLEAN CAR FAX. IT IS A RWD WITH THE VENERABLE 4.3 V6 AND AUTO. IT IS FULLY LOADED WITH: TILT, CRUISE, POWER BRAKES & STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS & MIRRORS. IT HAS THREE-ROW SEATING FOR EIGHT WITH REAR HEAT, A/C AND DEFROSTER. IT HAS THE FACTORY AM/FM/CD, LEATHER-WRAP STEERING WHEEL AND AN OVERHEAD CONSOLE THAT HAS DIRECTIONS, TEMPERATURE, MPG AND MILES TO EMPTY, PLUS STORAGE AND MAP LIGHTS.

SAFETY ITEMS INCLUDE DUAL AIRBAGS, ABS, AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS (WHEN VAN IS IN MOTION) AND SEATBELTS FOR ALL OCCUPANTS.

EXTERIOR IS THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAINT WITH VINYL FLAG/FLAME GRAPHICS. IT HAS ALL NEW LIGHTS IN FRONT, POP-OUT SIDE WINDOWS, THE OPTIONAL ROOF RACKS, VENT VISORS AND THE VERY DESIRABLE DUTCH DOORS IN THE REAR THAT OPEN THREE WAYS. IT HAS THE NORMAL DINGS YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH AGE & MILEAGE, BUT NO HUGE DENTS AND NO RUST WHATSOEVER. A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE VINYL HAS COME OFF IN THE CREVACES ON THE FRONT DOORS AND IT CAN ALL BE REMOVED EASILY. THERE ARE TWO MINOR PINHEAD SIZE CHIPS IN THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD.

THE INTERIOR IS AMAZING. IT HAS TWO CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS AND TWO BENCHES. ALL ARE PERFECT EXCEPT FOR A 1/4" HOLE IN THE MIDDLE BENCH SEAT AND ONE ARMREST DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE DASH, LEATHER-WRAP WHEEL, DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER AND CARPETS ARE EXCELLENT. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL GM BRANDED FLOOR MATS IN PLACE. THERE IS AMPLE STORAGE WTH THREE SIDE COMPARTMENTS, A GLOVE BOX AND OVERHEAD IN THE CONSOLE. THERE ARE TWO POWER PORTS IN FRONT AND ONE IN THE REAR, ALONG WITH TIE-DOWNS. THE TWO BENCH SEATS FOLD FLAT FOR HAULING OR CAN BE COMPLETELY REMOVED IN MINUTES, RESULTING IN 8" OF SPACE.

MECHANICALLY IT IS EXCELLENT, WITH MAINTAINENCE PERFORMED REGULARLY. IT HAS NO LEAKS, SQUEAKS, RATTLES OR SMOKE. THE TIRES ARE AT 50-75% WITH AN ALIGNMENT LAST YEAR. THE FACTORY ALLOY RIMS ARE VERY GOOD AND PROPERLY BALANCED. ALL LIGHTS, SWITCHES, GAUGES AND RADIO OPERATE AS INTENDED AND THE AIR BLOWS COLD, FRONT & REAR. THE JACK & SPARE APPEAR UNUSED.

OVERALL, THIS IS AN ABOVE-AVERAGE EXAMPLE OF THESE VERY POPULAR VANS THAT ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND DUE TO PRODUCTION CEASING IN 2005. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 1000 MILES A MONTH, THE MILES ARE IN LINE. I HAVE TRIED TO REPRESENT THE VEHICLE AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER IT IS A USED VEHICLE, WITH NO WARRANTY AND WITH BLEMISHES YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH THE AGE & MILES.

TERMS: NO PAYPAL, $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN 72 HRS OF AUCTION CLOSING, BALANCE DUE IN 5 BUSINESS DAYS. IT IS ADVERTISED LOCALLY SO IT MAY BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME. PICK-UP IS BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL WORK WITH YOUR TRANSPORTER.

FINALLY, REMEMBER, A BID CONSTITUTES A LEGAL CONTRACT.  DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS-EMAIL FIRST.  DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK-EMAIL FIRST.  IF YOU HAVE A RECORD OF NON-PAYMENT DO NOT BID AT ALL. THANK YOU.
