Buying a car- your opinion?
So, my poor sedan got totaled last week. My insurance is going to give me enough to do one of two things: buy a used van from my friend, or put a down payment on something else. The van is a 2007 and was previously a commercial vehicle, so it's got high mileage; on the other hand, it has a lot of features I like, my mechanic buddy looked it over and found no major problems, insurance on it is pretty cheap, and it would be totally paid for. If I got something newer with lower mileage, it would have higher insurance and I'd be stuck making monthly payments. Opinions?
