My dad bought a new 1985 Chevy Astro van. Sounds like a great car for a family with three kids, except for the fact it was a cargo van with only a small bench seat in the back. That thing sucked. There was no insulation in the rear, so it was cold in the winter and hot as hades in the summer.
It ate a set of front tires every 10,000 miles, no matter how many times it was aligned. The Chevy dealer had the parts ordered for the rear axle, as it was starting to go out (at about 40,000 miles). A few days before it was supposed to go in the shop, the transmission went out on it and dad traded it off. I know all of us kids were glad to see it go. I still haven't figured out why in the world dad bought that van, except for the fact it was cheap.
