1991 GMC Safari SLE 3dr Ext Minivan AWD
This vehicle has 210,000 miles and
never misses a lick. All major
componants are original, no oil
consumption, use it to tow regularly,
and... it is just awesome in the snow
and on ice slick roads.
A Life Saved

My fiance's family has had this van in
the family since new. He got it from
his parents. We loved that van. It
saved my fiances life 3 weeks efore our
wedding. Three days ago though my
fiance got into a seriouse car wreck. A
cement truck pulled out in front of him
across 2 lanes of traffic while he was
going 45 (55 speed limit on a rainy
day) he couldn't stop in time … and the
van colided into the truck. He is alive
and if you looked at the tractor
trailer you woldn't believe it.The
police say that if not for that van he
would be dead. We loved our van and
plan to get another.GMC has my vote for
best cars around!
I'll never buy another GMC

I bought this van brand new and have
had nothing but trouble with it. The
sit adjuster, door lock switch, and
window assambly broke within the first
three years(non cover by warranty). The
sliding door came off the tracks by
year five. I had to replace the engine
at 57000 miles. GMC has refused to
participate on any of the repairs. I
would never buy another GMC again.
Great car

1990 GMC Safari SLE 3dr Minivan
My family has owned this vehicle since
we bought it new in 1989. I recently
took ownership when i got my driver's
license and it is a great vehicle. It
is powerful and great for passing on
the freeway. It is also VERY
reliable. With 91,000 miles on it, the
only problem we've had is the piece of
plastic that holds the dimmer switch in
place. It handles great and is … easier
to park than my mom's Pontiac
Bonneville. It has plenty of room for
all my friends. The seats are
comfortable and the air conditioning is
ice cold. Great vehicle that gives me
NO problems.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1991 GMC Safari, so we've included reviews for other years of the Safari since its last redesign.
