Nothing wrong with prisoner transport vans!
Just clean them out good after you buy them. Mine had some odd stuff in it, contraband maybe.

I would hesitate to bid on any van from Alaska until I or someone I trusted looked at it. The majority of 4wd vans for sale cheaply are completely worn out and rusted from use on the slope. Not to mention that mileage alone means little since most have plenty of hours idling with the heater on. Still, I met a guy a couple weeks ago from Fairbanks that got a good deal on one, but he looked at plenty of them before finding the one he had.

It's a prisoner transport van, so likely wasn't up on the slope, but rather racking up the miles (200k+) hauling people around the state. But still looks like it had a hard life.
