We are relisting due to a non paying bidder. 1998 GMC Safari. It has been a great truck to us. We have used this truck to do all our vactions and out of town running. It gets great gas mileage. Even in the mountains! This is the more rare 8 passenger van. It would be great for a day care or taxi. It would also be a great truck for making deliveries. Take out the seats and haul anything. Ok now down to the truck. I replaced the battery last year. I also replaced the a/c compressor and lines,even the rear lines. I did not have the system charged. So it will need to be done. Not a big issue. I also had new brakes installed. I have a new set of rotors for the van. I purchased them as a package deal and never installed them. Since the rotor are not bad I just saved them till I needed them. I also had a full tune up done. Plugs,wires,pvc,cap and rotor. The front tires are new and the back are heathy. It has a hitch with a 1" 7/8 ball. We used it to pull a small trailer to the dump. Which is less than a mile away. It has a nice cd player. The van is in great shape. Some small scratches and maybe a ding. I will add more if I think of it. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Please ask any and all question's BEFORE the end of the auction. Thank you for your interest and Happy Bidding! I just want to add this is a 1998,not a 08. Please read all of my ad before asking questions. As for the drive train. Motor is solid. Trans shift great as all Gms do this one will give a sharp shift. I think its the way the previous owner wanted it. I had it looked in to when we bought it and the dealer sait it was fine no issues. There are no check engine lights on. If you would like to come test drive before the end of the auction,let me know. I welcome any one to come look at this van. As a side note a good friend of mine has the same van with over 400k on the orginal drive train. These vans were built right.Thanks again. Just a side note, our van has a clean carfax. No accidents or anything like that. So dont be afraid to bid. The deposit is due within 24 hours. If no deposit is made thr vehicle will be relisted and negative feed back will be left. Please dont click buy it now if you cant buy it now. Also I do reserve the right to end this auction at anytime.Thanks On Sep-27-11 at 10:01:26 PDT, seller added the following information: I just did the math on the last tank of gas.

I have the van schuled to be redetailed once the auction ends,It is a clean van,I just want a coat of wax put on so it's good for the winter. If it sells or not, Im getting it done. Thanks Again ! On Sep-27-11 at 10:23:18 PDT, seller added the following information: This vehicle has had only 4 owners. Auto check is counting the renewals as ownership. Im the 4th. This is some info I found on the internet in regards to the 4.3 V6. "The 4.3L Chevy V6 is among the strongest of production V6’s ever produced, especially in its later versions. It was first produced in 1978 and that design stemmed from the 1955 Chevy Small Block V8. It holds a unique place at GM and the automotive industry in that it has been able to break through into this modern era, complying so well with emissions and efficiency standards among engines that were fundamentally more advanced from their inception."On Sep-30-11 at 08:52:49 PDT, seller added the following information: I must add this to the listing. No the van is not sold with a warrenty or maryland state inspected. I have kept this van very well. I dont see a reason as to why it would not pass. It is sold as-is. I have been driving the van this week to work. It can be seen at 710 Bel Air road in Bel Air Md,21014. 410-688-2954 Thanks
