I called the dealer...this van has 163K miles, 25K in receipts (and asking
only 8K?) and does have rust as suspected. The most rust on the van is over
the DS rear fender. There is also rust over the PS fender and all along the
rockers. He said it is mechanically sound and drives well....of course. To
me it is overpriced when considering the rust and the risk of buying
'unseen.'
