Owner History & Title Info:
2 Owners only. 1st was from Las Vegas. Military man. I am the 2nd owner.
Now a CA (California) Salvage Title in my name. I have all the paperwork. Passed CA smog with ease.
Reason for Salvage:
Van had damage to front passenger door, side flashing, rv door and bottom skirt, NO frame damage. Van Drives Perfectly Straight.
Engine:
Mechanically sound. Anyone that knows Astro Vans, knows that once they go past 100k they usually need some work. This has had all the work done.
New Fuel Pump, New Spider Injectors, New Sparks/Wires/Distributor
Cap/Rotor, New Front and Rear Brakes/Rotors (Van stops on a dime) All lights work.
Engine runs perfectly, tranny shifts smoothly, idles well. A/C blows cold.
Again, for those that don't know Astro Vans, don't let 100k+ fool you. Once you replace what has been replaced above, these go for another 100k easily. Astro Vans are extremely reliable if you know how they work.
Starts reliably and drives smoothly at highway speeds (65-70 mph). Well-maintained since changing of the parts above. Fluids are New.
Appliances:
Original appliances all checked and in perfect working order. All plumbing and propane systems fully functional.
New Microwave added. The Espresso Machine is NOT included, however, we can work something out if you really want it.
Exterior:
Some fading paint on hood and decals, typical for age. Roof does not have ANY leaks. Bathroom Vents replaced and re-sealed.
Minor dings and scratches. Entire fiberglass top was detailed this week along with the body as well.
In Conclusion:
I will provide Full transparency—happy to discuss all details with serious buyers.
This Tiger is ready to go vacationing.
She is a a sweet rare gem. People will constantly ask you to sell her to them. It has the maneuverability of a van with the functionality of a Class C RV. It’s easy to drive and park, yet offers a spacious interior with all the essentials for off-grid camping. Compared to modern 4x4 campers like Sprinters or new Tigers, this is a budget-friendly option with proven durability. Only a few thousand Astro-based Tigers were made, and this one is ready for its next adventure.
Additional Notes:
Includes: Printed manuals, Renogy Manuals, 1998 Astro Manual, 3x Main keys, 2x compartment keys, 3 RV Door Keys, 2 FOBs, 2 Rear Trunk Compartment Keys
Test drives and inspections welcome by appointment but only Serious inquiries only, please!
