Not an Astro/ Safari but worth posting I think.

My 2002 Astro had 365,279 when the head gasket blew. I'm going to swap the motor and try to get another 200,000 out of her. My DD is my 93 with the V8 and it has 318,xxx right now.

Re: Whats the most miles you've had or seen on a Astro/Safari
My neighbor recently bought a 97 Astro AWD with 487,000 original miles! Only one person drove it all those miles & other than a several tuneups & regular maintenance, nothing has failed or been replaced!!!
He paid $1500.00 for it & the body & interior look great!!! It even has a new set of tires! It runs real well too!
Do these vans ever wear out???

Re: Whats the most miles you've had or seen on a Astro/Safari
I've got over 730,000 km on my 1994 Chevy Astro cargo van. I've got the original tranny and engine in it too. This was my 3rd Astro/Safari van, and i've never replaced a tranny or engine in any of them. I got 540,000 km out of my 1988 Astro, and around 610,000 km out of my 1993 Safari, before I got rid of them. I racked up the kms on these things in the city, not on the highway. These vans are tough cookies.
