I thought it would be helpful for me, maybe others if you look down a Craigslist page here in the SE 3k-8k vans.

Are these cheaper better value than what you see on the west coast?

Are there any that really stand out to you that you would go see?

And no, Im not shopping for a minivan.....yet.   Just want to know how is the fishing in my pond?

You usually don't see the rust through in the south or west.

Rust no rust aside. Assuming rust.

Anything about price and vehicles and age that leaps out as something to look at?

Brian do you think if there is undercarraige rust none of it is worth looking at? But why? Ive never owned a vehicle that wasnt rusted!

Get outside the rust belt for a vehicle.  Vehicles with rust can be had cheap for a reason, they won't last much longer.  I wouldn't consider any vehicle with rust.  Rust never sleeps.

Here is a checklist for buying a used vehicle: View attachment used-car-checklist.pdf

I would try cargurus. You can hone in on make, style, price, mileage, distance from home, etc.

You have more selection than we do here in Vegas. I'm having a tough time finding a van. 2 inspections @ $99 each.
