    Don't be afraid to walk away if it doesn't meet your expectations, reguardless of what you've spent on flights etc. Sometimes it's a small price rather than been stuck with something you don't want.
    Have you agreed payment method? Is seller happy to accept a bank draft? I was in a similar position a few years back and gave the seller a draft, his bank told him it would take up to 3 days to clear so he had to trust me or else give me accommodation 'till it cleared:D.
    Best of luck with the purchase and happy motoring.

    We always use Transfermate and set up the bank details before travel. Then if the van suits, a phonecall will transfer the money within a short space of time into the nendors account.

    Any warranty? Did you check it for leaks? is it private or dealer?
