2001 Ford Windstar LX 3.6 from North America
Summary:
It was worth it
Faults:
Rear cylinders stuck.
Replaced rear drums.
Shocks are bad.
Check engine light came on, but went off after we took off a battery lead.
Had to replace tires and get alloy rims.
General Comments:
Runs great.
Good fuel economy; over 250 miles a tank city driving, and over 350 on the highway.
Strong engine responsive engine.
Factory headlamps are dim.
Great body condition.
If you buy one used, replace the spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, do a radiator flush and fill. It will make such a difference.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am sorry you feel that way. On the other hand I don't think that your feelings are quite realistic. I. e. you say that you maintain your vehicles meticulously. However, you bought this vehicle with 80,000 miles on it and drove it 10,000 miles more. I suppose the previous owner's attitude towards maintenance is affecting the car more than yours. Properly maintained most Windstars are o.k. Not fantastic, just o.k.
