  My Third Aerostar - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By Danny Hardwick - July 17 - 12:22 am

  I bought a used 1996 Aerostar in 1998 with 66,000 miles on it, and retired it with 225,000 miles on it when it started losing compression in two cylinders. Bought a 1995 with 99,000 miles on it in 2002. It now has 261,500 miles on it and still running strong. however I now live where we get heavy snows, and the two wheel drive does not climb the hills in snow if someone gets in front of you driving less than 30 miles per hour. I drove to Show Low AZ this morning and bought a 1995 AWD extended van with 116400 miles on it and drove it back to Ruidoso, NM. I could not have been happier if I had bought a new car off the lot. This one had been well kept, no rust, and only two door dings.

  Keeps going and going - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By Awesome - November 23 - 3:34 pm

  This vehicle is super reliable. I have not been able to wear it out. It has 230,000 kilometers on it 3.0 liter eng.does not use any oil. I have maintained this vehicle in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. It needs new shocks and some work. I have currently parked in my garage. No rust, I am going to put a new fuel pump for reliability purposes. This vehicle is in great shape and I want to keep it for a long time.

  What a diamond in the rough - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By KM - May 3 - 10:22 am

  How am I ever going to part with this van? At 212000 it has taken children and all their stuff to college in Wisconsin, North Carolina and Pottsdam in upstate NY. It has made countless trip to Indiana again loaded to the top with product, my husband owns his own business. I has taken me to Minnesota to visit my first grandchild. A last the transmission has started to slip and we are holding on. This van has been a reliable workhorse, it sits outside all year, in western NY, and starts every morning without fail. I have had very few problems with it and the comfort for all my family including my 67" son has been great. Everyone can drive it from my son to myself at 51". I can haul anything

  1995 AWD AEROSTAR - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By Allen Ballard - March 13 - 9:47 am

  My third AWD Aerostar and best yet. I own a second 1995 AWD, my first Aerostar was a 1990 short van. All 3 vans have have been rock solid dependable with normal maintenance issues such as front CV boots, steering knuckles/bearings being the most costly, occurring in the 130-140K mile range. These vans were built at Hazelwood, MO by some of the best people that Ford has. I enjoyed working with St Louis Assembly as a supplier QA Engineer for over 13 years so I speak from experience. Both vans have over 184K and plenty of life remaining. I am now considering another 97 AWD model. Gas mileage = 17- 20mpg & same as a Windstar which has less room and utility. Aerostars build quality is far superior.

  Aerostar still going - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By Tony40 - January 11 - 2:00 am

  This is my 4th Aerostar, and I still love it. I can’t find anything out there to replace it without stepping up to a big van (to do this I would have to sacrifice my great fuel economy 18/23). I bought my first Aerostar, an 89, in 1991, put 192,000 miles on it. My next one was a 92 that I traded with 132,000 miles. My next one was a 91. It was totaled (rear-ended) with only 99,000 miles. My current Aerostar, I bought to replace the totaled 91, is a 1995 with 155,000 miles on it. I still take it on family vacations. Out of all 4 Aerostars, I have not done any engine overhauls or tranny jobs. Just normal repairs including changing fluids regularly.

  Perfect Colorado Family Car - 1995 Ford Aerostar
  By wwadams - August 21 - 2:00 am

  We haul everything everywhere with this van. Despite warnings about potentially faulty automatic transmissions, weve not had ANY mechanical system problems. We bought the Aerostar because we wanted 4WD and we liked the fact that its built on a truck, not car, chassis. When pulling our 22 sailboat or horse trailer (we only pull one horse, since two is on the hairy edge of this 6 cyl engines capability), sometimes the AC cuts off going up a hill. But at 5-9,000 feet altitude, we think thats acceptable. With a carload of kids, I like the dependabiity and knowledge that my Aerostar will get me safely and predictably to my destination.
