Archived from groups: alt>autos>ford (more info?)
Hey group. Have read hundreds of Windstar-related posts. Some
obvious trends show up. What I'm wondering is if there's a year model
at which one could say the two biggies-head gasket and tranny, were
finally corrected.

I'm still driving my '88 Bronco II and hope to do so for another year
or so but will probably opt for a mini van after that. So you can
see, this is a very slow process.

Aesthetically, I just prefer the Windstar to any other make. BTW, are
there or are there not different body sizes/styles in this line. Some
just look smaller to me( a good thing) than others.

Finally, I see many Winstars being used as company vehicles. Would it
be wise to try to work a deal on something like this or will these
just be more beat up? I tend to use my vehicles about 60/40 audio
equip. hauling to family use. thnx +oM

I would say, go to JJ Powers or such for a report on Windstar and see
what they think about it. I will take a look myself:

looks like:
News For 2004, Ford's minivan was replaced by a new model called
Freestar.

anyhow, click on this URL and get all the info you could want, aside
from what was in the n/g's
