[AT] OT Chevy Astro

-----Original Message-----

We've been talking about replacing the Aerostar (it needs more work than I
seem to have time for). Now we've been leaning our eyes at the Chevrolet
Astro, it's much more common here(though not really common) and absolutely
more common with 4WD/AWD and that would be nice. So we're looking at the
extended version from say 1995-2001 (newer are a bit to pricey), but we
really don't know anything about them. So question is what to look for.
Upsides, downsides  what are the weak points etc. Any advice is appreciated.

	I can't speak for long term but after driving the 1999 Astro for a couple
of months now I like it as well as any car we have owned. It is the extended
one but is only 2 wheel drive. My neighbor had one for some time and he
liked it well. He traded it for a truck in order to have a truck for
hauling. Another neighbor has had one for quite a long time and pulled a
fair sized upright travel trailer back and forth to Florida each year. He
has died now but his wife still drives it.
	Mine has the 3 door rear and I like that.
