***SOLD*** 2005 Astro AWD For Sale

[robinasu]

Hi all, life changes require the sale of my van. The van is located in The Bay Area, CA.

It’s a white 2005 Astro AWD with 220, XXX miles. It has a GMC grill, but it's an Astro. The van runs great for 220k and get 15-17mpg. It was a dealer fleet vehicle of some kind. Smog is good and passed recently, plus my OBD computer shows all smog systems ready. The transmission shifts very well and tight. I have kept the fluids clean. The cluster lights all work and so do all the switches.

It has a new radiator as of last year and all new bushings and ball joints in the front end. It was totally rebuilt. It also has all new shocks. The brakes are also good. I have new LT225/75R-16 BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 tires that come with it, as well as 2” lifting spacers, new bolts for the spacers, add a leafs for the rear, shackles for the rear, the front bumper relocation brackets, all new transfer case and diff fluids -plus more.

The front and rear AC runs great. The rear heat also works great but the heater valve is flakey, but I have the part. I also replaced the front AC blower motor.

It has cargo van front door panels because I was going to the snow and the originals were shot. When I switched them out I added door insulation and it really helped. I also removed the floor carpet and pressure washed it. While it was out I installed dynamatt clone all over the floor and front/rear wheel wells. I then installed thick carpet pad and reinstalled the floor carpet. It’s quieter now. In the process I installed a new stereo, speakers, and alpine amplifier. Both removable rear seats are included and are in good shape. I don’t recall any rips.

The van got side swiped on the driver door and B pillar and has a salvaged title. Everything works but it’s a dent. The salvage title is a result of the dent.

Overall, it’s a good platform for an adventure or camper conversion. Everything is included to create a sweet and reliable van. Sorry about the picture orientation - not sure why it's all messed up.

Asking $2500.

Thanks, Rob

Lowcab -- you want my van for a long-term loan? I'm sure it'd come back in better condition than what it started in

[1lowcab]

Yours is already in awesome condition, but it would come back with one hell of a sound system!!! lol!
