Hey Folks,
I'm new to the site and have an awesome van for sale. I hope this is the appropriate place to post.
It is with much sadness that I must announce the selling of Trouble: my SAS Astro. 16,500 obo.
1998 Chevy Astro with V8, 4x4 Conversion and camper setup that is CA STREET LEGAL, SMOG LEGAL and registered. It HAS NOT been beat up.
Cargo, sleeping, offroad ability and towing capacity make this an ideal vehicle for any outdoors person.
It is the product of 5 years of evolution and testing. I've spent a lot of time and money to get this rig ready to sell.
Pinion angles are good, Caster, Camber and Toe are all good. Sway is minimal. Highway speeds are no problem. Suspension and stance provide excellent handling for a vehicle in this class. Drives way better than a Sportsmobile on and offroad! It will go anywhere you want and can still be parallel parked in the city. Excellent turning radius. NO BUMP STEER. (Interior pics make seat look discolored, but they are clean and comfy).
Here is the list of modifications. I would be happy to talk more via phone. Reasonable offers only please. This is an extremely well equipped SUV and well worth the cost. It has TWICE the asking price invested in it.
