Re: black astro van

From the several high res pictures I looked at, it had the appearance of a factory paint job. I would think having a van repainted would be to expensive. I do not think I will hold out looking for a black astro. The two tone blue and the two tone grey look nice.

Re: astro/safari what to buy?

Hello well I am still on the look out for a nice van. For the amount of astro/safaries I see on the road I am surprised there are not more for sale. With a little luck I hope to find a conversion van of some kind. :yawinkle:

The van looks pretty nice 1999 AWD GMC SAFARI-4800 on Vancouver craigslist (I could not figure out to provide link.)
169,000 Kms one owner. He says he has done most of the regular maintenance himself and the brakes still operate normally even though the abs light is on.

Re: astro/safari what to buy?

I contacted a seller on craigslist about a 99 safari seems o.k but he says the abs light is on and he refuses to spend $1200 bucks on a module. Is this something to worry about or will the brakes still operate normally?

Thanks for the advice. The extra space will be a trade off when it comes to the gas mileage but one I can live with. A well tuned engine and good driving habits will compensate a little.
