Make sure they had all the fluids changed reasonbly close to schedule.  I
went on a wild goose chase to FLA earlier this year for a cherry '93 MV
(40,000 miles).  The original owner never had the coolant changed, or brake
fluid for that matter.  I walked.  It was an expensive lesson, but hopefully
cheaper than buying the van.
