My 2nd Aerostar

Hi all,this is my 1st post. Got the new aerostar 2 weeks ago. $1150 94 154,000mi, new motor put in around 84,000mi.First owner neglected to do much service on the motor. The second kept up w/ mantain but didn't like to keep the inside to clean. I gave it a good cleaning, armor all and carpet shampoo does wonders.Runs great, a few little quirks.Replaced pass window motor $10 u-pull it. 2nd and 3rd row seats $40 u-pull it, it was a perfact match and in good shape.Temp gauge seems to move around some, gets close to M at long lights (outside temp has been near 90 lately)once moving stays right around O. Just changed oil (very black). Next is the tranny fluid, seems to shift a little hard going into 2nd. Great forum, lots of info.

Welcome aboard. Hopefully you won't find us as snooty as some other places. I'm on my third Aero. My first was a '91, my second a '93, (both 3.0s) and my third is a '96 4.0 that I got a few days ago. All of them have been extended and my 91 has been retired. (Well, just about rusted away actually)
My '93 has 220K miles and my '96 has 130K. My wife won't let me buy anything else. Good luck with your purchase and hopefully you can give us some info just like we can possibly help you.
