Needing to buy a vehicle.

It doesn’t really say anything in the rules about this so here goes. I have 2500 cash and am willing to go as high as 3k for the right ride. I’m really wanting a cargo van or mini van but I’m also willing to take a good running truck or car. No mechanical issues, ac and head must work, 200,000 miles or less, I’m fine with cosmetic issues and bad paint jobs. Will want to have it checked by a shop before buying (I will pay but you’ll have to make me there). Would also appreciate advice on reliable places to buy cash cars.
