buying a van , you can be blinded by the good bits,   you try not to think of finding bad points,

i am now too thorough,     maybe too picky.       theres plenty out there,     one waiting 4 myself.  hopefully one i can keep for years with little worry

That's the way. Everything must check out.

If the cargo area is rough with bent and bashed wheel arches, the rest of the van is the same no matter how well the outside has been dressed/tarted up.

Just keep looking, there are some good ones around - you just have to be patient.
