What Owners are Saying About the 1998 GMC Safari Passenger
"Still running strong"
"Bought new in 1995. Did great maintenance. Still gets great milage and still has plenty horsepower. Was great on long trips, BUT, 333000 miles, I am just beginning to wonder."
"Great Van"
"I have owned the Safari 2002 van for almost 20 years now. Bought it brand new, and have garaged it the whole time. It still looks and runs like new. Had to do the transmission over, because of the defective sun housing, many years ago, they said it was not a warranty issue, so I got screwed by the dealership. Have changed the oil regularly with synthetic. Still running on the same plugs and everything else. Have a trailer hitch, but have never really used it. Has been a great van over the years, have no reason to get rid of it, as it will probably be the last van I ever buy, especially where they don't make them anymore. Overall I have been very satisfied with it."
"Dependable Vehicle"
"This van has been my livelihood and when I was single I went everywhere. I worked out of it and visited friends and family all over. I have kept the maintenance up and take pride in the interior as well as the exterior. The only reason for selling this van is I need something lower to the ground because of my disability. This would be a great work van as well a family vehicle. The van is white with pin striping."
