Wanted: Advice on Buying a Van

with the lifespan of a Honda civic...just make sure when you look, you look at transmission fluid levels and color/smell(do this for all vans). If it smells like shit, the tranny hasn't been properly maintained.( I know what that sounds like)...
Also when you head out on the road, in addition to the coolant check, and coolant pressure check - make sure you get a tranny service (don't pay more than $80 for this)...this will also buy you a round trip ticket.

The Chevy vortex engines are bulletproof with routine maintenance.*Edit: Oh and motherfuck a Dodge.Pretty sure the old Champeen van was a Dodge. Before the first time I rode in it, they said "Just so you know, there is a small exhaust leak into the cabin."

Bump.I'm in a new band and we're thinking about getting a van for touring. But we don't really know what we're doing and we don't have that much saved for a van.Basically all we want to get is something cheap which won't break down in the middle of the highway or something.Would one like this be good? http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/4529344453.htmlAre there any tips you guys have, in addition to the tips here in this thread?
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.
