I have a broker/buyer searching auctions for a 2000 Astro for us here on the west coast. The biggest auctions (most selection) are in California and as a result most of these vehicals have code YF5 (CA emissions).
Not living in CA I am hung up on not wanting a vehical with CA emissions equipment (poorer gas mileage, more difficult/complex problem troubleshooting, etc.)
What is everyones opinion? Is this no big deal and should I just not worry about it?
Does anyone know what the differences are (if any) between a YF3 and a YF5 code Astro after about 1998.
Hoping someone has some info...it could greatly expand our search choices.
Thanks
