What to expect ?

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 !

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.
