Great deal
Gas gauge doesn't work.
Bought this in 2013, an 1989 with 70,000 miles for $750.00.
It actually runs great, gas gauge doesn't work. Drives more like a car, which I like. Fun to drive. Plenty of power.
My Chevy Astro felt more like a truck. Surprising that it works so well for its age, and is not an eye sore.

Has never let me down
All I have had done is replace the front rotors, back left brake cylinder, oil and filter, and fuel filter.
There are no seats in this vehicle, so I guess that's why it rides a little rough. I am getting 21 miles to the gallon.
Heater works well, but it doesn't have an air conditioner. I think so far it has been a very reliable van.

A reliable van for the whole family.
The only problem it ever had was that the fuel gauge was broken, so I would never know how much fuel was in it, and so sometimes it would stop in the street.
The windshield was amatuerly replaced, so it would slide down, and rain would come in through the top, and it cracked shortly before I sold it.
It smelled like mold about 4 months later due to the leak.
Radio, A/C never worked.
Front end looked damaged.
The body was covered in little nicks and dents.
The black paint was covered with swirl marks and was faded on the roof.
I purchased it in August 2005 for $550, and when I got it, it looked to me like it hit a wall or something at 15-20MPH, but the only visible imperfections were the missing bumper, loose grille and headlights, and the metal frame under the bumper.
I got it with 95,000 miles, so it ran pretty well, and could pick up speed instantly.
It was adequate, I would say, for comfort.
I sold it in December 2005 for $200, mainly because I got another car, because the windshield cracked.
For the few months I owned it, It did better than what my family expected, nd I would say this was the most reliable of the Fords we owned so far.
Obviously most used Aerostars are probably in better condition than mine, so I would really reccomend one to people, and they also look better than most van of the same time period.

I think the Astro van looks much better than the Aerostar. The Aerostar is a rather ugly van with the tall sides and blunted front end.
The best thing about owning a brand new Ford Aeorstar was the convenience of service across the country; there is a Ford garage in just about every any town USA. I have met Ford service managers from Maryland through Iowa, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Canada. One of the bad things about my Ford is the fact that it needs so much service; which might be caused by another fact: warranty work pays less, so mechanics tend to rush, resulting in less than acceptable professionalism.
Best all around mini-van
Replaced clutch two times, once for throw out bearing once for friction plates
Replaced radiator for small leak
Replaced power steering pump
Replaced battery cable
Replaced thermostat housing
Some cracks in plastic trim.
Very reliable and durable, just goes and goes
Comfortable and roomy, takes 4 x 8 plywood with the seats in, 6 foot folks in every seat
Reasonably economical
Maintained good appearance inside and out over the years.

14 months ago I bought a 1989 Ford Aerostar XL. This van is in excellent condition and has thirty eight thousand miles on it. I put 10,000 on it in 14 months. Absolutely no problem, and I highly recommend a low mileage Aerostar to others. Aloha.
