Just got one at 130000 miles. Let's just say I paid well under $1000. I put in about 24 hours of labor with parts getting it road ready. This van at this point is more reliable than any other vehicle I've had.
We have a 1994 Ford Aerostar XL van which we have owned since 1998. I still drive it while at our summer home. Our kids grew up traveling in it in the summers. I love that the rear seats pull out easily and I can haul various items in it. Since I have owned it, it sits for the school year and is only driven in the summers. In about 1999 we had some troubles with it stopping after stomping on the gas. After stopping at about five Ford dealerships and having different electrical components replaced, with the issue happening again, we took it to an alley mechanic at someone’s recommendation and he shortly diagnosed it at the fuel pump seizing. After the fuel pump replacement, it ran great for many years, until at someone’s recommendation I had the transmission filter and fluid replaced. Not long after, the transmission went out and we had to put about $2000 into the repair. That was about 12 years ago and the Aerostar keeps cruising. After the fuel pump issue, someone recommended putting SeaFoam in the gas tank. I regularly put a can in when I do the last fill up before parking the van for the school year. I also change the oil at that time. I disconnect the battery and nearly every summer after reconnecting the van starts right up after setting for ten months. During the COVID-19 pandemic it sat for 22 months without being operated and still started up fine. I love my little green Aerostar.

We have a 1994 Ford Aerostar XL van with the 3.0 Liter engine, which is more powerful than the 2.3 Liter engines they had in earlier Aerostars. We have owned ours since 1998.

God I love these vans. Dad bought one new in 1990, we had it for 7 trouble free years and took dozens of trips in it. I've since owned an '89, two 94s and a 1996. My 1994 Sport shorty was by far my favorite. I towed with them, camped in them, road tripped in them, and commuted in all kinds of weather with them. They were a great compromise if you needed something more truck-like than the Caravan and wanted a more comfortable interior than the Astro.

I have three of them and they're just so easy to work on. The tinker Toys. I will admit the one with the four point of a little bit more difficult. My 3.0 Vans one of them gets about 26 mi to gallon
Well that's interesting. The one that drives the most they made into a jailhouse van. All three of my Vans are aerostars that I bought and they were government surplus. They have somewhere around 118000 138,000 mi on each one. And I probably put a third of those miles on each one. The Woody ideas an interesting one

Well I had a caravan years and years ago and I liked it it was boxy like this aerostar. But I've got three aerostar Vans currently and I love them. I've got a Chevy Astro all-wheel drive I never use it

Great looking vans! I remember seeing these everywhere, but these days I rarely see them anywhere unless occasionally in someone's back yard. If you do see one on the road, most likely its back bumper has disintegrated in the middle leaving the chrome strips to droop.

The Aerostar minivan is actually worth having. It can carry 7 people when necessary. I would use it more for carrying cargo and groceries. I don't need it for towing since I have no intention to do any towing.
I absolutely 👍👍 give these 2 thumbs up!! Much, Much, Better than, any Always, Smaller dodge, or Chrysler minier vans!!!! With more than Double the dependability the caravans, Never had!!! The Ford Aerostar, was Many Miles, The Best Minivan, ever, Built!!!!
I have three aerostar Vans right now. All with around 130,000 mi or less. Well when you have three of them going to have to cut miles all on one of them. One of them I have insured with haggerty as a classic vehicle

Its insane how in the video at the end it states with all the options added, total price is almost $25k. But you can get these Aerostars for as low as $450. Crazy how that is
The thing is it's not an individual radio system at least not most of the aerostars. So when your kid is back here changing channel he's changing the channel for what you have on in the dash as well.
I loved my 97 Aerostar. 3.0 V6, auto, front and rear ac, was a great vehicle. Towed 5000 lbs.
I used to tow all kinds of cars with mine. I'd buy them at abandoned vehicle auctions and drag them home with the A-Star
Just got one at 130000 miles. Let's just say I paid well under $1000. I put in about 24 hours of labor with parts getting it road ready. This van at this point is more reliable than any other vehicle I've had.

Yeah I have three of them that I drive. None of them have very many miles on them do great for me
if ford at least kept the aerostars name and replaced the windstar name with it, the windstar could have sold better.

For passengers to listen to the radio since the car is loud and so the driver doesn't have to hear.
