It's a great automobile and you can carry a lot of cargo.
My 2000 Chevrolet astro cargo van is very reliable, it's not very big on comfort compared to most cars but it's not the worst. It has the basic features air, power windows, heat and radio. I do keep up on the maintenance so the engine has not given a lot of problems. The paint hold up very well without fading or chipping. The undercarriage is a simple one so there's not a lot to go wrong.

It's very spacious and the 4 wheel drive makes it great all the way around.
The van is absolutely the best vehicle I ever drove. That 4.3 motor is great on gas,and performed very well. The drive train also performs well.i only have problems with the suspension and ABS unit.

How durable and reliable the Astro van be; will last for a long time.
I like how durable it is; had for like years and still works really well. Not so much maintenance has been made and still runs smoothly. 4 wheel drive makes it good for snow.

Can comfortably sits 7 people. You can put the two seats down and transport large items. It is paid for.
It is getting old. A few things need to be repaired. But it is nice not having car payments.

Battery dies instantly. So make sure to have charged phone just in case.
Battery cables have a short. Which keep killing alternator. So battery need to get replaced. Then battery, and alternator, also battery cables.

It is not very reliable with long distance trips.
Leaks radiator fluid, does not like to take off like it should, amongst many other issues and it is not 100% suitable for me and my family.
accountCircle Jessica D
It is loud. I would rather have something smaller. It's not very economical.
It gets us where we need to go without dying or overheating and it's better than walking.
accountCircle Alex L
It gets very few miles per gallon and costs over sixty dollars to fill
It's a gas guzzler. I do however enjoy the interior. The speakers work well and the lights inside are super cool. AWD is also nice.
accountCircle Lauren H
It runs great and has lots of room inside!.
It is old and falling apart. The van has rust, does not do well in the heat, has had electrical problems. The only reason I still have it is because of the wheelchair lift in the back.

2000 Astro van review, oldie but goodie
Ultra reliable, fuel pumps gets clogged easily, suspension wears out, but it has over 250,000 miles, so some failures are warranted. Lots cargo space, removable seats, a bit heavy for older folk.
accountCircle David F
It's great for camping, getting groceries, hauling, towing. Its 4WD is also great in the snow.
I really haven't had any problems or issues, just regular maintenance. It's been reliable so not much to warn about. The Vortec V6 engine has been bulletproof.

It had some trouble with the oil... but the mechanic could find no problem or something..we have continued to drive it since then and this problem occurred over three years ago. We drive it locally... Read More

Nothing major. It has had brake pads replaced one time, and as long as I tune it up change the fluids on schedule, I expect to be driving it for years.

Is The 2000 Chevrolet Astro Van A Good Value?

Mine costed me $2000.00.I think it was a good value. Especially since I have had it over 4 four years now

I m not sure originally how much it cost..but I paid $550. I think definitely even with the replacements it's been a good value. I probably would have paid the original price.

The insurance is cheap... gas costs are not too high. I would say it has been a vehicle with good value.

I bought it as a used fleet vehicle in 2003, so it had some mileage on it. I paid 3500.00 for it. And yes, I think it was a great value.
