Another aerostar?
all right guys I came across a 1990 Aerostar extended eddie bauer edition.. been sitting for a year. Needs tires and a battery, a new bumper cover on the front.. and 2 very small rust spots fixed. The guy wants 500 bucks.. but the odometer quit(has over 100,000 miles). Should I go ahead and buy it to go with my 92??? what do U think?? Anyone know anyone in cols ohio that does good body work on these monsters??
thanks!
thanks!

Get a battery put it in and see if everything lights up. Then see if it will crank over.
If it does all that then get a can of starter spray and see if it will fire.
If nothing sounds like it is knocking or banging you might have a shot at a OK van.

Just today bought another Aerostar, incidentally (while waiting on hopefully finding a low miles passenger E350 with V10 and other options I want.)
Reason? Only 36K miles, like new interior, very good and can probably easily be made near-perfect regarding exterior, for $6K. Drives very well. And I liked my older Aerostar that I've since given to my ex. This will do the job of both a car and a van for the time being: nothing else I'm aware of would do as well for both duties let alone at that cost!
The Aerostar has always been a smokin' bargain for what it is.
BTW, the Florida dealer in question has many more low-mileage Aerostars in similarly excellent condition -- the Autotrader website would pull them up for anyone interested. That's all he sells, actually! It's his specialty.

The search I used was:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...&sponsorModel=
The dealer (I hope this is not against the rules to say so) is Lee Jewell of Metro Motors, 386-334-2784.
