Thinking about buying a Venture ! It has 150,xxx miles and seems to be in good shape ? Does this model have any particular quirks or commonly shared problems ? Any and all responses sought especially from present or past Venture owners ! Thanks in advance !

besides the popular intake gaskets they are also prone to head gasket failure

If you're tired now, wait awhile until you've read all the posts on these vans.
Don't get me wrong, I love mine and look everyday to purchase another one, but they are not for folks that don't do their own repairs.

I consider the van a keeper if there is no rust/body damage. Everything else will need fixed anyway so I don't really consider it when deciding to keep the thing or not.

I've never driven a van that handles as well or has such a comfortable ride--its a shame they quit making them, but you gotta know how to fix 'em.
