I know that rust is not a issue for a lot of you guys, but the newer vans have a problem with the frame rotting out around the steering box. With fewer of these van being available, the prospect of one coming from the rust belt to the other areas is a larger possibility then it used to be. A repair around the steering box is major, difficult, and only good for a couple years, if it can even be done! Get the van prospect on a hoist and inspect that frame around the steering box.

To the OP, buy another minivan. Gene
