$300 1996 Safari on CL- pic of a 1st Gen

Postby Big_kid [OP] » June 29th 2012, 3:24am

NOT mine, I have no connection to this ad, van, seller, etc. All I know is what I read in the funny papers. If it's cash & carry on site, might not be a bad deal.

i have a gmc safari 4.3 with flowmaster exhaust crack in windshield willing to trade for just abou anything or if you wanna buy it 300 bucks looking for gokarts motorcycles mopeds anything with a motor or games systems or computers pretty much anything you can think of shoot me a txt or a call (this isn't the actual van but this is the body style mine has black wagon wheels with 31inch tires)

Hard to believe the ad, an Astro is worth more than $300 at the scrap yard.

Did you ever have a day when you just wanted your astro van gone? I have had days where I thought of trading my work van and all my tools for a game system.

I'd never trust an ad where the seller posts a picture of something like theirs...

If you have the item, post an actual photo of it. Period.

I agree! There must be something they are hiding...

Yea after I cut the front end off and put it on my safari. Took out the engine, tranny and interior. Then I was still real sad I didn't have a place to store her.

Maybe their van looks like chevymaher's pic a few posts ago!?! And those with the "I don't have a camera..." line, spend $10 and get one from wally world. Yes I know what an Astro looks like, but I want to see what YOUR Astro looks like. I also think it's funny when they can't even get a close spelling of their vehicle's name. I mean, it should be sitting right near them if they're selling it. Just go out & copy it down letter for letter. Or better yet, look at the title. Oh that's right, there's just one issue about that title...
