1998 Chevrolet Astro Ls Extended Passenger Van 3-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Torrington, Connecticut, United States
|
I'm selling my 1998 Chevy Astro AWD Van. I've had it for a year and it's been amazing in the snow (the studded snow tires help in addition to the AWD) in the Northeast but I have too many cars right now and need to clear out my driveway some. I bought it from the second owner (he had the vehicle since 36,000 miles) who used it for family trips and carrying a canoe on the roof rack. I've used it to haul kayaks, bicycles, and even a stand up jet ski with the seats removed. You can take the front seat out and let three passengers in the back have a TON or legroom, remove the rear seat to have a ton of cargo room and still carry five people, or leave both seats in and carry eight people. It's a very versatile vehicle. And because it bears repeating absolutely amazing in the snow.
But as with any 15 year old vehicle it's not perfect. For it's age the exterior is in good shape, some normal scratches and small dings around the outside. Some small sections of rust on the rear hatch, the driver's side foot well, and the sliding door foot well. Still very solid. Mechanically there are a couple items to note. The check engine light is on, if you are a CT resident the emissions test is current until 3/29/14. There is some pulsation from the front brakes and an occasional pull to either side during braking, it does not occur all the time leading me to believe a cleaning and lubrication of the caliper slides may be all that is needed. At some point in owning the vehicle the stock radio stopped working, it is included in the sale along with a mounting kit for an aftermarket radio. There is also a full factory service manual that will be included with the van (you can see it on the passenger seat in one of the pictures). The van is being sold as-is and is priced accordingly with it's age and condition. |

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
