2001 GMC Safari SLE Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

This vehicle will last you a lifetime and spend very little time in the repair shop.maintenance costs are super low if you stay away from the awd. i purchased an extended warranty but i know I'll rarely use it. as long as you understand its a dinosaur to drive around town pot holes. also note that it is a durable "truck" that can get to be a handful when the fuel tank …

2001 GMC Safari SLE Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
