Default Advice on buying 2005 RWD Astro

Hi Folks
I'm looking at buying this 2005 RWD Astro Cargo that has recently been converted into a camper:
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/nvn/...634529890.html

It was formerly a Shaw Cable fleet vehicle driven, probably drive mostly in town and in a region where the roads are not salted. I'll e using it for winter and summer road trips in British Columbia.

Never bought a vehicle in North America before and not super familiar with Astros (beyond what I've read online) so any advice is much appreciated. E.g: any thoughts on:
- RWD handling in BC winters (beyond 'get good winter tires' and 'learn how to drive in snow properly'!);
- engine life - this one's got 140K miles already
- stuff to look for on inspection / test drive and common problems for this model.

Thanks, in anticipation of your expertise.

Nick
