05 Uplander, good buy?

I am needing to replace a vehicle soon and found a 2005 Chevy Uplander LS with 162000 miles for $3900. Does this sounds like a possibly decent buy to you uplander owners? I saw pics of the interior and it looked a little dirty, may have been a rental previously, but the exterior looked good.

I have an 05. Had to replace the wheel bearing hub assembly on the front passenger side twice, other than that it's been an awesome van. I have 145,000 on it now

Just got rear ended in my van last week, Not much damage at all but now I can hear a loud humming sound from the rear passenger tire area, Coincidence? Any thoughts? wheel bearing?

Ya the noise seems to die off the faster I go, Possible rear diff level critically low. I swerve side to side on highway and noise stays same so possibly rules out wheel bearing, Who knows.
