So far I've had experience with 7 different Astro vans over the last 12 years, and never had any major issues with any. A couple of them we ran the piss out of. My boss is not one for servicing vehicles. His idea is that he will get new oil when he gets a new van! Our company had 4 at one time, one of which I bought for $500 for my own personal van. I later sold it for $500 to get a newer one with AC that I got for $300. At the time I had that, my wife had a passenger Astro to get the kids around town. She later sold it to get a Caravan because it had the sliding door on both sides. That $300 Astro, I still have, but it's no longer a plain white cargo van.
