Not a fancy car, this is a very useful car.

This car is my workhorse. Maintaining my house requires hauling garden materials, lumber, bags of concrete. This minivan has paid for itself. The abs brake module failed at about 80,000 miles. But there are several ebay opportunities to get if repaired for about 100 dollars. Installation costs another 100. Fuel pump failed, but that is to be expected. Another small expense. Engine and transmission have been totally reliable.

BEST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED

VERY DEPENDABLE AND ALMOST NO REPAIRS . WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VAN SINCE 2015 WHEN WE PURCHASED IT USED AND IT HAS NOT GIVEN US ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THAT TIME. IT RIDES AND DRIVES VERY GOOD AND IS COMFORTABLE FOR TRIPS. IT HAS ALMOST 159,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ONLY THING WE HAVE DONE IS CHANGE THE OIL, REPLACE TIRES WHICH IS NORMAL ON ANY VEHICLE. WE WOULD TELL ANYONE THAT THE FORD WINDSTAR SEL IS VERY DEPENDABLE AND SAFE,

The Search is Over

I've been searching for a reasonable, reliable minivan for six months and am happy to say "the search is over". I found this van more than fairly priced and in great condition. The salesman talked to me about it over the phone and had it pulled out and ready for a test drive when I arrived. It was super clean and my mechanic agreed it was an excellent deal. My kids actually love it! I will definitely go to Cars.com and Car One for our next vehicle.

very reliable

I bought this car from Gerald Nortz dealer in Lowville , NY with 32000 miles on it. A year and 3000 miles later my transmission went. I contacted Gerald Nortz and told him about the transmission and he gave me money towards fixing my transmission. This is a dealer that stands by his product. I would not hesitate to recommend his dealership. A. from Liverpool

A good van

This van is good for at least 3 things: to look at, to transport cargo, and what it is usually used for is transporting kids and such. Overall what I use it for is just for transporting random stuff, such as garbage and various things.
