Maintenance/Repairs

I’m looking for an old “beater” cargo van for use as an occasional road trip/camping vehicle. There’s a '97 Aerostar cargo van for sale locally. 120k miles on it; asking price is $850. Seller says needs front wheel bearing. Haven’t seen/driven it yet. Have read owner’s reviews on Edmunds and Kelly, and most of them praise the durability/reliability of the van. Many of the owners claim 200k+ miles.

All you professional mechanics: your opinions, please.
