I should have bought 10 of them
TomL, 03/02/2006
1993 GMC Vandura G15 3dr Van
I bought this van used, with 180,000 miles on it, and it ran like new then. Now I have 260000 miles on it and it still runs very well, there is some slight engine(valve train)noise, but I turn up the radio and it goes away. I am very religious about oil and fluid changes, which will extend the life of any vehicle, but this is the 4th GM van I have driven over the 200k mile mark, one went … over 300k. It has the 4.3 ltr V6/auto and averages 22mpg highway empty,which isn't often, it's a WORK TRUCK. The only things I have replaced:waterpump(started leaking 135m out/got me home), exhaust-cat back, brakepads/shoes,tires,and driver's door latch. Even the side sliding door works with little effort.

Keeps going

1990 GMC Vandura G25 3dr Van
I have over 390,000 kilometers on my Chevrolet Vandura
and its still going strong, not burning any oil. It drives
like it always has. The only down side is that I have gone through
three transmisions during that time, but the old
350 motor is a workhorse. The van design and
cheap good quality parts make it a great all round van that I
would recommend to anyone.

Only thing I use
Lotaso, 04/01/2003
1992 GMC Vandura G35 3dr Ext Van
This car is the workhorse of the
family, we've been up and down the east
coast several times in this car, it is
especially great at keeping fighting
children away from each other, never
had the bane of having to deal with
accidents in this car so I wouldn't be
able to tell how well it would do their
but those in the car tend to joke about
how we dwarf the other cars, … very
comfortable despite problems with seats
getting stuck in awkward positions,
also the power windows motors burned
out, not sure if those come standard or
not.

The Perfect Van
I love my "baby", 04/11/2010
1990 GMC Vandura G25 3dr Ext Van
I actually own a 1982 Vandura. I've had her since the late 80's. Her name is "Baby" she was the love of my heart back then and is very loved to this day. She has an inline 6, three on the tree. I use to love to drive her to Las Vegas or Los Angeles and sleep in her comfortable cargo area. Pee in a bucket in the morning and move on or as they use to say "keep on truck'n. She's getting … old now but still runs. GMC made a very reliable van. She has never broken down on me, in fact one time the reverse quit working and a few months later fixed itself! True story. I don't drive her anymore because I can't (long story). But anyways I recomend GMC trucks. They make the best! Sincerly, JMCota
