1990 GMC Safari SLE 3 DR PASS VAN review from North America
"I love it even though it's an older van.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previously owned by a construction company. They had it serviced regularly. The trans axle rear was replaced recently due to heavy loads on regular basis.
General comments?
The previous owner retired this van last fall and purchased another GMC Safari. It was sitting for 8 months and started once a week for a bit. I found it on Friday May 14, 2004. I test-drove it... went back Saturday and bought it... took it through Air Care and it passed as usual with flying colors. So far, it's the best vehicle I've ever driven. I love the feel of it so much better than the '92 Mustang I've been driving for 12 years.
