I just bought this car in January 2008 and am having trouble already with the abs/awd disable light. nothing shows on my mechanics computer but looks like a lot of trouble with sensors or harnesses. which would be the cheapest to start with? i just got it and can't really afford to trade it already.

January, 2023 The 17 year old vehicle was sold for $6k to a person who was waiting to catch the like new looking Aztek. Offers for $7k and $10 k received but persons didn't want to spend the charge for delivery, their loss. Value will continue to rise for super clean , low mileage vehicles like this one. Happy New Year. All black with taupe interior stands out as the best looking combination for this vehicle. Good high seats and large glass area is a winner. Extra large and handy hatch area is another plus to consider. Being'05 vehicle still has refined feeling with smooth six power. Typical gm negatives such a having to change the secondary shaft 2xs as well as the rack and pinion steering noise, all under warranty thank goodness. Dash electrical issues at 80k including losing trans indicator lights and odometer lights. Styling looks better with age as newer vehicles are looking more weird and have little window area thus providing safety issues as well as visual threats. This is my 2nd Aztek which my family has grown to appreciate even more over time. Have offers for $5500 plus which would make this vehicle a good value over the long run. Update. July 1, 2019 Now with 108k miles and running better then ever. Had to replace the driver's seat cushion( via a parts place in Georgia) as the backrest adjuster shaft broke at the handle knob. Luckily, the replacement was just like my taupe original seat!. Shaft sits below seat cushion and is not available by separate sale. $150.00 to buy/replace the seat. Had to have replacement rack and pinion done.$350.00 Old unit was leaking quite a bit. July, 2021. 116k . Engine still doing well. Had to replace 2nd water pump $150. One other note, no rust anywhere! I guess being in Florida helps. Have on market for $7k as I bought neighbors car as she was returning to Brasil permanently. Only 117k on odometer, still no accidents and or body damage. 305 556 2516 for info. John T.

We bought our first Aztek in 2001 and found it to be a joy to own - no maintenance. no problems! When my husband read they were discontining them this year (05) we drove from Georgia to Ohio to get the model we wanted...they are so comfortable, have so many included features that cost more on other makes, are such fun to drive...we love our Aztek! Who cares if Jay Leno makes fun of them!
