Thinking of buying the 1997 Chevrolet Express?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1997 Chevrolet Express for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 1997 Chevrolet Express is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 29 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, service brakes and engine and engine cooling. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
What to expect from the Express
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
When the Express makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Drive the Express on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Express for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Express is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Still deciding?
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
