    If anyone's close enough to Hollywood Florida to check out a van at a used car dealer, let me know your price to help a guy out. Just want to make sure there are no funny smells, stains or sounds before dropping coin on a van sight unseen. Absolutely zero liability if the thing arrives in NY and crumbles apart on me.
    Thx.

    I dont know if said van is special or how much of "savings" you are getting but I wouldnt do it. I live in Miami and try to get all cars away from here.

    That is a true shit show down there as far as used dealers go.

    Well that info is just as good as any testride info. Problem is that car (Metris) up here is either a knackered former taxi or an equally abused USPS whip. I don't mind a shifty dealer as long as the car checks out.

    Miami Car Planet. 1321 N State Rd 7 Hollywood, FL
    Reviews seems legit but I set the bar low in that regard.

    That other dealer in Hollywood has one on Manheim's I thought might be the one.

    Just saying thanks to Gixer1100 for helping a guy out. He took a thorough looksie of the van and then wouldn't take any $$$ as a thank you. Well, you're taking this public showing of my appreciation!! This place never dissapoints.
    Thanks again Gixer1100.

    Hope it works out. 99% of anything in Miami is either vin swapped, wrecked or completely undesirable. Venezuela is probably a better place to buy a used car than Miami

    The exterior bumps and bruises I'm not concerned with, however the front left airbag malfunction warning on the dash will require some explaining from the dealer tomorrow.
