Solid Van
I had a 95 that only was in the shop a couple of times for non-maintenance work - a bad EGR valve and the exhaust system rusted out at 92k miles. Based on my experience I bought a new 2001. It's five years old and has 120k miles on it. I've had a few non-maintenance repairs. At around 50k miles the turn signal switch went out. This was a $450 repair but about three years later, GM had a recall on the switch and re-imbursed me. I installed new front shocks at around 70k miles. At about 105k miles the fuel pump went out. This cost $750 plus the towing!
2001 Astro AWD, what an inprovement
This is the second Astro I have owned,
the other being a 1995 AWD that was a
maintenance nightmare. But the Astro is
so ideal for my needs that I traded for
the 2001 AWD. What a difference! So
much more thoughfully laid out, seats
are MUCH lighter (still no picnic) to
remove. The driver controls are
thoughfully laid out easy to reach and
control. The response to driver imput
is much improved and better power when
it's needed.
The rocker arm mouldings are a nice
addition and make the van more
attractive than the 1995.
I am very happy with my purchase and
expect to continue with the
Astro/Safari for yet another one.
Good Astro
This is my 4th Astro but my first AWD. Even though the gas mileage is less with AWD, I find it holds the road better, especially wet roads. I would purchase another.
