The last two times I went to look at a used model (private sale), after driving several hundred miles, I looked at the underside and the rust monster lurking there (not just surface rust... but looked so deep that it might impact handling and safety.)

Of course, I check PPL and Stahmann's websites regularly. They sometimes have good "B" vans... but those models disappear extremely quickly.
