whatever vehicle you buy, whether it's a 2cv or landcruiser, you need to run it for a time before embarking on a long trip to iron out any problems and get to know the vehicle.
Buying an unknown vehicle and then embarking on a long trip, possibly trusting your life to that vehicle would be, IMHO, foolhardy.
I'm sure someone will come on here and say how they bought a vehicle unseen from some country and then had the trip of their life, but then, you might get away with playing russian roulette one or twice as well.
