2018 chevrolet express for sale by owner - Gig Harbor, WA - craigslist (2024)

The vehicle comes with virtually EVERY upgrade Explorer had to offer on this model-year. This includes everything from their premium leather interior, to heated and power adjustable front seats, two rows of removable, swivel-capable captain seats, a fold flat rear bench, a 29” Samsung HD Smart TV with the capability to stream Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV, etc from an HDMI device when combined with a 4G LTE internet subscription from Chevrolet (we used the Amazon Fire TV Stick). This feature is particularly handy on road trips with little ones, whether local or thousands-of-miles length trips! This vehicle makes a fantastic family hauler for those who have outgrown SUVs and minivans, for those who bring friends and family on their travels, or for those who want to transport their passengers in executive-level comfort.

VEHICLE CONDITION: this van comes in excellent overall condition, both mechanically and overall working-order-wise. It has a clean vehicle history, no accidents or damage, only 2 owners , a clean title, no mechanical problems, and everything inside works. It has been meticulously maintained and serviced throughout its life to date. This vehicle has absolutely no smoke-smell problems (or any other smell problems for that matter).

There are several small cosmetic imperfections from traveling the breadth of America, such as tiny marks from road debris on the lower front bumper, three small scratches on the body, fading of the shine of some chrome body stripes from life in the sun, and normal carpet wear (none are stained, torn, or missing).
