Edmunds/KBB value is $2300-2800! VERY LOW RESERVE! Ready to ship or arrange local pick up immediately! Ask about buy now if interested, I can revise the listing accordingly for a fair offer. CLEAR TITLE, LOW MILES, NEW TIRES! Just a small amount of rust on one side panel (barely noticeable--see photo), should be an easy repair. Interior in excellent condition with NO rips, some spots on carpet--probably easily cleaned, all major systems have recently been upgraded including fuel lines, brake lines and tires, however there may be some minor repairs needed within the next year; and therefore the vehicle is being sold as-is. An inspection prior to pick-up would be welcome. All documents are available for repairs during the past 3 years. Carfax report also still available from purchase date in 2009. There was one accident prior to my ownership where a deer was hit, the windshield and headlights were replaced, however there was no mechanical damage, and it has driven perfectly fine for me the last few years; no accidents during my ownership. Sorry about the mild dirt on the photos, didn't have time to wash it, but although hard to tell from the photos, the paint is in great condition!!! I am a non-smoking work at home mom, with 4 children, and I have only driven it about 3000-5000 miles a year on average. The car has been maintained well. It is a great minivan for a small young growing family. It served me well for 3 years. It is just time for a larger vehicle now as most my children need more leg room. I'm happy to answer any questions, or even show the vehicle by appointment to local buyers.I can arrange shipping anywhere in the U.S!! Please ask for the best price to your zip code. I can accept a credit card or electronic check! THE VAN HAS A ROOF RACK--I BELIEVE IT WAS INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE IS ALSO A TRAILER HITCH TO PULL BOAT, TRAILER, ETC. IF THE BID GOES BEYOND $1800 (or $200+ bid) I WILL INCLUDE A LARGE STORAGE BOX FOR THE TOP OF THE VAN--GREAT FOR ROAD TRIPS! ($400 retail value!!) I HAVE A CARGO NET (FOR THE REAR CARGO SPACE) STILL NEW IN THE BOX WHICH CAN GO WITH THE VAN ON REQUEST--NO CHARGE. REPAIR RECORDS DURING MY 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. The major items that were done were the fuel lines, the brake lines, the tires of course (all weather), ignition line, ignition switch, filler neck, battery and some new plugs, muffler. All of this was done within the past year (Oct 2011, Feb 2012 and after). There were some other minor repairs, all of which will be indicated in the documentation you'll receive with the car. I believe the car is in need of struts and spark plugs, minor repairs I guess for someone knowledgeable in this sort of thing. The 02 sensor may need to be replaced, and a tune up should be done, as it has been sitting for 3 months with almost no use. The passenger side mirror is broken. One day while driving, it just closed and all the glass shattered. I think it must have not been in a totally open position or something, or maybe something was kicked up from the road and hit it, not sure, but I taped it up so no further damage would occur but have not had it fixed, I'm sure it isn't an expensive repair though. ALL MAJOR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE BY OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, AND ALL MAJOR SYSTEMS WERE THOROUGHLY CHECKED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. IT HASN'T BEEN USED MUCH IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS OR SO, AND IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET ALL FILTERS/FLUIDS CHANGED BEFORE A LONG ROAD TRIP. I RECOMMEND SHIPPING FOR THIS REASON, UNLESS YOU ARE LOCAL. I CAN HELP FIND A GOOD PRICE AND ARRANGE SHIPPING, AT THE BUYER'S EXPENSE. See more including Edmunds Specs and Review below photos.... I have included the below review and specs I found on Edmunds. Not all options may be necessarily included with this vehicle, the below pertains to this model in general, please see description or ask if you unsure.Edmunds InformationWhat's New for 1999 Venture gets some performance and safety enhancements. Other changes include additional seating choices, four new exterior and two new interior colors, as well as wider standard tires. There's a new LT model that packages an upgraded audio system with a touring suspension, traction control and captain's seats with available leather.Review It should be no surprise that Venture has surpassed previous Chevrolet minivan sales records, given the limited appeal of its mini-vac shaped, plastic-bodied predecessor, the Lumina Minivan. What is noteworthy is the Venture's competitive edge in today's hotly contested minivan market. Developed in concert with GM's European Opel division, Venture enters its third model year wearing conservative yet modern sheetmetal capped by a toothy chrome grille. Looks aside, this minivan's strong suit is versatility, which has helped it gain a couple of "Best Buy'' accolades from the motoring media as well as our own nod as an outstanding entry in this ever-evolving segment. Its success can be measured by a number of functional family features, including an available driver-side sliding door, optional passenger-side power sliding door, available modular seating, optional integrated child seats, standard four-wheel antilock brakes and optional tractioncontrol ? even the ability to pull a 3,500 pound trailer load. Three versions are available, in Base, LS or new-for-'99 LT trim. Choose a 112-inch wheelbase in three- or four-door bodystyles, or the 120-inch wheelbase as a four-door only. All Ventures come equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that makes 185 horsepower, up from last year's 180, and a healthy 210 foot-pounds of torque. Designed to satisfy consumers on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, the Venture treats drivers with a communicative chassis, sharp steering, and almost nimble handling, all while providing room inside for up to eight passengers and a good amount of their belongings. While the additional power is welcome, two other upgrades combine for improved driveability. The move to GM's 4T65-E fully electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive better matches shifting smoothness to engine performance. And going from P205s to P215/70R-15 tires as standard equipment provides a bigger footprint and better roadholding. Other updates this year include making the rear window defogger standard and adding heated outside rearview mirrors. To help sweeten cabin air, a charcoal air filter is now part of the ventilation system. And four new metallic paints, in shades of blue, green, red and silver, join two leather interiors in neutral or gray on the color palette. Some carryover features worth noting are the optional dual-mode audio unit which allows rear passengers to listen to a CD via headphones while front passengers catch traffic reports on the radio, and a load-leveling suspension complete with auxiliary air hose. And for those who want a minivan for work instead of play, a Taxi Van model joins the Cargo Van in the 1999 Venture lineup. Seating can be configured in several ways, beginning with the standard seven places among the front buckets, second-row 60/40 and third- row 50/50 split bench seats. New this year is an optional eight-seat setup that (thanks to the use of flip-and-fold modular buckets that weigh just 38 pounds each) can be easily removed or re-arranged to handle 32 different combinations of passengers and cargo. Not to be outdone by cubbyhole-happy Chrysler, Chevy's Venture can be outfitted with as many as 17 cup and drink box holders, as well as up to 26 storage compartments, including underseat stowage and a removable CD/cassette bin that can be locked inside the glove box. Last year, while Chrysler was bragging that it pioneered the four-door minivan and Ford was dodging talk about doors to play up how well its Windstar scored in government crash tests, Chevrolet made the Venture the first of its ilk to receive standard side-impact airbags for both front passengers. Solidly in Venture's court, we had teased Chevy to offer an LTZ model with body-color grille. Well, GM responded with a Venture LT package, complete with custom leather seating, upgraded sound system, rear air and audio controls, a touring suspension and traction control. Not bad, but how about adding the "Z'' part of that equation next time and giving us a lower stance, a sporty wheel/tire package and a throaty exhaust note? Oh, and we'd still like that body-color grille. Yes, we like the Venture, and whether you prefer the Chevy flavor or the Pontiac (Montana) and Oldsmobile (Silhouette) versions of the same van, we think any of the three finally have the credentials to go toe-to-toe with Chrysler, Ford and import minivans.Standard FeaturesBucket Seats (only first row has bucket, 2nd row is a 2 seater bench, 3rd row is a 3 seater bench)Center ConsolePower Heated MirrorsPower BrakesRear Window DefrosterSliding Driver Side Door (note, this van's sliding door is on the passenger side)Third SeatTinted Glass3.4L V6 OHV 12V FI Engine15 Inch WheelsRegular Unleaded Fuel Required4-Speed Automatic TransmissionClock4-Wheel ABSDriver and Passenger Front AirbagsFront Side Airbags7 Passenger SeatingCloth SeatingPower SteeringTilt Steering WheelAir ConditioningIntermittent Windshield WipersRear Window WiperPower Door LocksDaytime Running LightsAM/FM Audio SystemOptions added to this van:Camper/Towing PackageCruise ControlRoof Rack (optional large cargo carrier can go with the car $200)AM/FM/CD Audio SystemSpecifications ExteriorMaximum towing capacity: 3500 lbs.Maximum payload: 1658.0 lbs.Length: 186.9 in.Gross weight: 5357 lbs.Curb weight: 3699 lbs.Wheel base: 112.0 in.
