Howdy! Doo..

Post by catbones »

Hello Everyone,

A.J. here... just thought I would introduce myself. Not in an Astro / Safari yet... in the hunt for one, seems unless I take a drive 4+ hours either way and a wife kill... I can't find one with low miles in the 2000 year. Thanks WNY :)

In any case, Hello all!

I've been following a few of you for some time on here now. Always loved Astro / Safari vans, however always ended up with the new makes, F150's, Torrents, CRVs, etc.. Selling my Torrent and getting an Astro / Safari.

Any help in my hunt is appreciated.

Welcome, AJ. It's a drive but there are always some nice rust free vans here in Florida.

Hey guys, found an Astro, looks very nice and clean inside and out. Little rusty under like the frame and what not.. should I be worried about this rust? it's also a '01 with 188k miles on it? should I look for something with less rust and mileage ?

Thanks!

I guess I'm spoiled. My Safari is a '96. Not a spot of rust anywhere. 251k on the odo. I wouldn't buy anything that showed rust or with that many miles. It's the rust you can't see that's the problem.
