U-body is a Chevy minivan, Lumina APV 1993
CD is 0.30
Body is plastic and fiberglass, never will show and rust, like a corvette.
Chassis is galvanized!
I wanted a Honda Odyssey, but the prices are too high, $2k for a 95 with 200k miles and most have rust around the rear wheel opening. I payed $350 for this APV with 173K miles. I didn't really want it, too much work, but the guy kept comming down on price.
Needs:
power steering pump
AC compressor clutch bearing
muffler
rear shocks and front struts
new acc belt
oil change.
Both doors didn't open from the outside.
no radio
I fixed the doors by lengthing a rod inside the door panel.
I have 3 radios in the garage.
New power steering pump is $36
New water pump is $16 (try that on your honda!)
New Belt was $26
0w20 syth was $24
oil filter $4.50
new air filter
AC compressor eliminator (idler) $39
Tail lights, side markers $10
Tacks for ceiling liner
What else..? Oh the side door didn't open, he was pulling on the handle the wrong way!
Lubed all the door and hood mechanisms.
Ball joints have grease fittings!
It look like they make a 205F thermostat for the 4.3L but tnot the 3.1. The thermostat was not closed completely when I took it out.
