"We are now at 140,000 miles. The first car I have owned that has lasted with no major problems. Rust just now forming on the outside. Seats are now worn and tearing. Has been a great family car. My favorite of all time!"

"My Wife drove the car 90,000 miles on largely short trips. Now I drive it on a 134 mile commute several days a week. At about 200,000 miles, the transmission was overhauled. Engine compression and oil pressure tested fine, so we're on the road again. Car has great visibility."

"Bought a Ford Windstar Limited new in 1998, this vehicle has always been garaged and maintained on schedule. The paint started peeling off the driver's side door in 2004 and because of the type of enamel used on today's cars the door must be completely sanded and refinished for a minimum cost of $350.00. A week before Christmas 2006, the total transmission had to be replaced because of a failure in the transmission pump which then produced tranmission fluid full of metal filings. The car was never used to tow so a failure of a transmission at 80,500 miles, no matter what the age of the car seems to indicate a real lack of quality of the product. I have always bought American products over a period of fifty years and the quality has steadily diminished whether Ford or G M, and I no longer feel the loyalty to these companies is justified and I will no longer "buy American"."

"This van has really been kept up with. It runs really well. It's clean it has some minor scratches but the ride makes up for that. If your looking for a reliable van then this is the one all that had to be done is done it runs really well now."
