FV 432 purchase

Well all, I've decided I'm finally going to purchase a British FV 432 APC.
This will be my first piece of armor but after talking with many owners they
sound pretty reliable and low maintenance. Working with heavy equipment is
nothing new to me anyway.
I'm figuring it easiest to go through a dealer. Any suggestions? Any info on
the vehicles etc would be helpful. I want one that is in need of some work
(paint, brackets, etc) but want something that runs and track is in good
shape.
I see ads stating price delivered to your nearest port. I'm in northern
California, seems to me Stockton would be the nearest port but everyone says
they have picked their vehicles up at Port Houneme (hope I spelled that
right).
One thing that concerns me is I won't have the ability to check the vehicle
out, especially if it's overseas...are dealers in these rigs pretty
reputable?
Anyone know much about the diesel version?
I've got so many questions running through my mind right now and don't know
where to start.
Bill
