2003 Chevrolet Express 3500 on 2040-cars

2003

chevy Express

6.0 litre

3500 Reg Wheel base

Below are a list of options and details. Any questions please contact me.

This van was bought new buy me in March of 2003. Fully loaded with just about every option, and then some. I am the original and only owner. Driven only by me, not my guys. The oil was changed every 3-5 thousand miles. 90% of oil changes were done by same shop. im almost positive he can print that out for proof. Tranny fluid was replaced twice. (synthetic) Rear fluid replaced twice (synthetic) Motor oil also synthetic. I washed and cleaned this van on a daily basis since new. I received daily compliments on how sharp the van looks. You will not find a better van of the same year and mileage.

This work truck drives down the road very good and is comfortable to drive.

2003 was the year it was redesigned. Previous ones cannot compare to this generation van. If you look up reviews on the 2003 express 3500 you will not be disappointed. its been given close to 5 out of 5 stars. It certainly has the wear and tear of 2003 work vehicle. This van was a hard worker and never let me down. ever! It never left me on the side of the road. None of thewear and tear is out of the ordinary. But if your going to point out every imperfection this van is not for you. goto chevy and buy a new. Dont waste my time. id rather keep it. It was driven up until i got my new truck a year ago. its been sitting since. Except for a little drive every once in a while. I even changed the oil before i stopped driving it. The only reason i stopped driving it is because i bought a new truck. Not because of any issues with the truck. Unfortunatley it doesnt look as good as it did when i drove it everyday. But like i said, for the mileage and amount of work i did   out of this truck you will not be dissapointed. But far from perfect.

I replaced alot parts on this van. alot i have reciepts for. And alot of repairs i do not have receipts.

you cant walk out of the dealer with this van for less then $28,000-$30,000.

It has $3,000 in dealer options. Which are:

1. Express Access

2. Express Access plus

3.Locking rear diff. (it is an animal in the snow. you will not get stuck)

3.Captain seats. (drive side has big tear in it where you sit. still comfortable)

4.Vinyl floor in the front.

5. 9,600 gvw

6. Side cargo Doors

7. 373 gears

8. Chrome Accessory package (halogeb head lamps. not the ugly black ones) chrome front and rear grill.

The Express Access is a MANUFACTURE installed option. The side panels of the van open with remote. One of the Best features ever designed on a van if your in the service business. You can access all your stuff from the outside. Contractors use to drull at this option when we were on job. The doors do new shocks. you have to lift them up by hand.

It has the tow Package with hitch. I also recently had someone re wire the trailer wiring with a 7 pin plug. it also had electric brake set up installed. Never used. something was wrong with the brake controller and i just never used. All i towed was a very light 5x9 sometimes.

i had the system one racks installed. Thats about $800.00 new. Yes it has the built in tie down winches. I never had to look for a bungee cord.

This van has brand new 245 75 16 atz all terrain tires. Brand New!! Almost $800.00

I had an alarm put in with remote start. Very nice in the winter months.

Which reminds me, this van has never left the yard without being warmed up since i had the remote start installed. it was installed sometime in 2003.

After marke stero with fosgate amp, 10’ sub and pioneer flip up tv navigation. the whole stereo i think is shot. the radio barely works, so im not sure about the amp and sub. it might or might not work. but it will be in there.

billet grill also installed. with a lund visor and bug shield.

Not that long ago i had the whole exhaust replaced with a original equitment.

New exhaust system. Dont remember when, i did it. lost receipt.

but it was a oem rplacement. About a thousand installed

i put a brand new battery in the van today 8/3/2013

van was just inspected in ny.

Im sure there are things i am forgetting.

Its in great shape. Looks very good going down the road and pulling in your customers driveway or on the job site. Not perfect.

It Needs a wind shield because it has a crack across it. your glass insurance should cover it for free. if not, i can have it done through my ins before it goes off the road for the cost of my deductable which you will pay for. but it will be on my time. i would also need a deposit from you if i did that.

The side cargo door hinge needs some attention. the hinges get frozen and become diffucult to open one of the doors. the radio is probably shot. it plays music but didnt hold up well.

There were factory installed lights installed throughout the van. most of them broke from materials. plugs are there. youcan get new lights if you want.

drive seat has a tear.

and there might be one or 2 other very small not important issues. not as important as all the new parts.

i think it needs the neutral safety switch. ill explain.

the lettering also has to come off before the truck leaves the yard. the vinyl should come off no problem with a little heat. i can help with that.

like i said, in this price range, and make and model you will not find a better van with this mileage. the motor sounds like it can go another 100k

any used van can be risky. and any thing can go wrong with a high mileage van. But if this is your budget, this is your work truck. it is ready togo and will pay for itself first week. i would rather this van with 200k miles then a 1500 series or even 3500 series that has not been maintained with 100k miles.

Please be a serious buyer if you inquire. the history of the truck is documented. The price i am asking is $6,500.00 I dont want to stray to far from that number. please no UNREASONABLE OFFERS! I would rather keep it.

I was so happy with this van, i ordered the exact same one factory direct fully loaded. it did not come ontime because of a recall on the pitman arm. so i ended up in a chevy silverado 3500 utility body. I regret not waiting for the van. The van cost me $30,000 just to get it out of the dealer. the new ones upgraded like mine i believe are almost $38,000-$40,000 out the door.

Thank you for looking,

Jason,
