Default 2009 Chevy Uplander - School Me!

2009 with 20k miles, $13k.

Pros, cons, good, bad?

Seems like decent value for money to me but what do I know!

Thanks!

The Uplander as far as Minivans go was obsolete before it even came out. It was made mostly hoping for commercial sales. Not a terrible van but not something that made any soccer mom happy. Typical Chevy problems. Nothing major that I can recall.

By comparisson an '09 Toyota Sienna with 20K miles would cost upwards of 17-25 grand.

Chevy Uplander was also the Buick Terazza, Saturn Relay and Pontiac Montana. They were more "parts-bin" minivans that used bits and pieces from other cars and trucks across the GM line. Ive heard reliability is subpar but thats more hearsay - Ive never owned one. If its an 08, thats the last year they were made.

Lots of utilities bought these as replacements to the Astro.

They were made for '09 export to Canada and Mexico.

Turn the other way and run, as fast as you can. These things were uncompetetive when they debuted in the 90s as the Chevy Venture, and then were left alone for years. All they did in the redesign was to graft on a horrible SUV-style nose. Look at their crash tests, and that will make up your mind for you. GM has made lots of great vehicles over the years, but this is definitely not one of them.
