Hello everyone, 

I'm a new member but I've had my Green Aztek since October of 2001 when I purchased it new with only 65 miles on it.   My wife and I did many camping trips in it and even went to an Aztek Rally in the summer of 2003 in Northeast Pennsylvania.   Over the years I kept it roadworthy until January of 2017 when it reached 217K miles.  I finally had to retire it as my daily driver since I just couldn't afford the repairs anymore so I took it off the road. 

I don't want to get rid of it though.   I plan to get it back on the road at some point and will probably need some advice from this forum.

Welcome Mr. Green.

I absolutely love the Citrus Green and that's what I was looking for but couldn't find any in good shape and reasonable. There was one that had a blown head gasket and a lien on it from a title loan and they were trying to get $2000 for it. Probably got repo'd and junked.

I am so tempted to get this if we can sell our pickup...

Thanks for the welcome. 

 I wanted to post some pics here but I'm not sure about how to do it.   There doesn't seem to be a way to upload them and the insert image button wants a web link to the image.   I guess you have to have the pictures in the cloud in order to post them?

Yes....the Green Azteks are pretty rare.   That's why I don't want to get rid of mine.    I still have the tent and air mattress although the mattress has several air leaks.   The car has been sitting since January of 2017 and last time I started it up there was a loud knocking...probably a stuck lifter.   It needs new axle shafts, wheel bearings and a radiator.   My goal is to get it back on the road by the end of the year.

Wish me luck....

It's been a while but I finally made some progress on getting my Aztek back on the road.    Installed new hubs and axle shafts so that's done.  Now need to go through the brakes....they feel really soft.   Then figure out what's leaking and where.  Then onto the service engine light.   I can't get it legal without emissions and it won't pass with that light on.   


Not giving up yet....

Glad to hear you're making progress to get her back on the road. I'm in the process of doing repairs on my Tek as well. Long road to recovery after so many abused years I got it.
