For the extended cab GMs this is a feature. I don't believe it is available on the short one.

You guys are smart. Venture is a real nice, though sometimes overlooked, minivan.


Enjoy!

The Side impact crash ratings of the GM minivans came out quite good:


               4 STAR for Front seat side impact;
               5 STAR for rear seat side impact.


It will be interesting to see how well the other minivans perform in this test. A 5 star rating for rear seats is very good news as this is where children will be seated. Sounds like a very safe minivan for children. The front impact is okay, but certainly has room for improvement.


I was reading Consumer Reports and noticed that the predicted reliability rating of the GM minivans has improved from -86, reported in 1998, to -25. A -20 score is considered average. When
three model years are included in their survey, I would expect another improvement. It sounds like GM is paying attention to reported problem areas.


Go American!

Hello everyone,


I've got to go and wont be (posting) back until Jan 04, 1999. I've enjoyed my conversation and point of arguments with all you folks. Hope everyone gets the minivan of their choice during the next two weeks. I will find out when I come back.


I will have my NEW Chevy Venture by Jan 04, 1999.


As always...


Best of luck,


VentureMan

Just bought a new 1999 Venture Van LS loaded. We got a great deal from our local dealer. It rides well and the finish is not cheap. Safety? Sure enough we have heard all the clatter. Yet, a vehicle is only as safe as you drive it. The best way is defensively.


We really like the van, the dealership, and the financing through GM Canada.


So take a closer look, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Hi All,


I just bought a 3dr base Venture last weekend.
It was the lowest trim level except for the addition of a cassette radio. I paid $21200 out the door with 0.9% 36 month financing w/ zero down. ($1000 rebate is not available in CA) Now I just heard about some $500 loyal GM customer rebate.


I have an '86 Nova...am I too late to get the $500?


Only problem so far is a slight, but annoying, steering pull to the right.

Me Again,


A quick trip to the Chevy home page tells me that the $1,000 rebate (or 2.9% financing) on '99 Ventures has been extended (if I remember correctly, through the end of March).


This makes me less suspicious, but still leaves me wondering.

Hi Walt,


My dealer only list 17999, not the 16999. I will take it if you could get that price. Let me know if you get the van, I am also considering that van.


thanks.

Walt,


Don't forget the dealer's got a 3% holdback and
another $500 dealer incentive. Of course, he's
not obliged to share these incentives with you.
Also, make sure the 16999 includes the $580 dest.
charge. My deal of $21200 OTD was actually $300
below invoice by my calculations. My Venture had
some fit & finish flaws and 125 miles.

Walt,


One more thing, the power door and AC are are
not options. They are standard even on the base
model, as are 2 side air bags and anti-lock
brakes.


I believe the van you're looking at is like mine,
minus the (radio w/ cassette).
The MSRP would be $20745 + $580(dest. charge) =
 $21325




Anyone with tips on a slight steering pull to
the right?
