1998 Ford Windstar GL review from North America

Well When I got it, It was a great van (or so I thought)! I have had the van for a month and a half now and I had to replace both back brake cylinders, Front pads, drums both sides, idler arm, serpentine belt and now it needs a new transmission, engine, shocks, struts, muffler, plugs, wires, coil pack, wipers, tires, calipers.

I fell in love with the van when I first got it. It has the rear a/c and heat and it is a nice looking van. And when I finally found out about the van having all these troubles from my step dad I just broke down because its my first car. And I'm trading a hispanic guy in Iowa Falls, IA for a 1994 Ford Taurus. But I can say I would own another one just like it because I like the different configuration of the dash board and I just like the vans in general, but I must say they are junk everyone I talk to has the same problems. If you are looking for a good vehicle I would say never buy a 10 year old mini van with over 100,000 miles. Exspecially a Ford because all Ford mini van eventually have transmission problems.
