If you get a ford watch out for the transmission. A lot of 90's Fords have junk tansmissions. Ford knew this and kept on making them. I know because I owned one and had to have it rebuilt long before it's time. The differentials are not great either. Chev Vans have good transmissions and good motors. The Pre 2006 models "G" series before the "Express" have less driver foot room but are cheap and very reliable as long as you service them. All vans are a pain in the butt to work on because you have to access things from the inside. But they are cheap!! Ford Vans have good motors and are reliable.

I’ll go light some candles, make a wish and all that and hope that you can get something just as nifty… if not the actual thing.
