back in the Astro life, I’m looking for a clean GMC Safari AWD,not from my area Long Island NY, currently driving my 2005 Tahoe which I love with close to 200000 rusty miles on her,working on a retirement plan and want a Safari for my daily.I have owned 2 Astro 86 was a real truck,and 95 was a grocery getter. Not much on the suspension,I used both for work surveying even though they were passenger vans. I am 58 and have owned 4 vans in my life only 1 was a ford, I was young and it was cheap.still browsing EBAY, but want a clean no snow van,salt destroyed my Tahoe no matter how well I treated it, any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the forum, partychief.

(I've moved your post to it's own topic, instead of piggybacking off that old one.)

Finding rust free Astros won't be easy, especially over there. You may have to fly to a southern state to find one. Just keep scouring craigslist, ebay , facebook marketplace and dealer listings, and be patient. I gave up and bought a full size van.

Good luck.

Thanks,Duly noted,I usually do.I found a 74 Malibu in Virginia Original owner after looking for about 4 years,an Astro or Safari should be equally hard to find for a reasonable price.

I'm with you chief, just across the Sound. Salt / snow is a common enemy. I went south to find my '93.
I'd sharpen your google foo, I remember someone using a saved search on google for results based on distance away, craigslist, marketplace on facebook, government auctions, google can pick up on all of them.
