I need to know how a 99 Plymouth mini van is. I have located one for $1000. Man says it has a little rust around the gas filler and around a wheel well.Anybody know anything @ these minis. I can see it after 2PM today.are they worth buying? I'm still getting the run around on the 92 Dodge 1500.

The front strut towers rusted out , can be welded up, but not cheap, look for the rust being covered up..
