Used Ford Windstar for Sale

I own a 1999 Ford Windstar Mini Van. We bought this van when my now 15 year old daughter was 6 months old! It currently has 125,000 miles on it and if it dies tomorrow we feel we have gotten our use and money out of this vehicle purchase. Hopefully we can keep driving it for four more years as that is our plan to avoid having two car payments at one time. The only major repairs we have needed is a transmission rebuild which occurred at around the 115,000 mile mark and a fuel pump replacement at around 110,000 miles. All other work has been for regular wear and tear items that you would expect to replace with regular usage. This van has been the backbone of our transportation for our family of six.

Although now the vehicle is a bit aged, it had been, in its day, a great vehicle. It was hugely reliable and roomy and the best in the Ford brand. I had many great trips in this vehicle, and it made me love minivans for the rest of my life I believe. The vehicle allowed me to travel with my kids and parents with grandchildren all packed in one vehicle. We were able to travel to Disney World and back and fit all kinds of necessary items when travelling with children.

I have owned this vehicle for quite a number of years. I am always having difficulties with it. I have spent more on repairing this thing than I actually spent on it. The brakes constantly have issues. It stalls and the engine makes terrible noises. The air conditioning and heat have stopped working. Overall, I am disappointed with the quality of the vehicle. Sure, it has lasted me awhile. But that's because I have spent quite an amount of money fixing it to keep it on the road. If you are looking into purchasing a minivan, I'd steer clear of the Ford Windstar. Not worth the trouble!
