Re: Cons of buying a Venture?

PROS VS CONS of buying a Venture...

PROS:
Relatively inexpensive
Easy to find parts
Easy to fix(using this forum)
Good on mileage(ave. 24mpg)
It has a good feel on the road

CONS:
You are buying a used van. Buyer beware. You WILL have repairs on it...like every other used vehicle out there. All vans will need some kind of repairs regardless of who it is made by.

I love my 2000 Venture van. The pros far outweigh the cons. You will always hear from the folks who talk badly about this van and all GM related stuff. I find them to be more vocal than the content owners like myself. All vehicles are machines that need repair and upkeep. I would rather buy a GM part than a foreign $$ part personally.

I paid for my used van with just one small cattle check. I recently did the IMG as a preventative measure. I worked on some other minor issues with the help of my husband and this forum. Everything is now working properly. I have no regrets whatsoever!
