just bought myself a 93 Ford Aerostar 3.0 L V6 XLT Sport, it has 252,400 KMS, now I've read about all the problems linked with these vans but I've also heard all the good things about them too, I'm just hoping I can get 3 or 4 good years with this van so I can save up to get a better vehicle down the road.
I'm prepared to do regular maintaince on the van but nothing too too major.
Can anyone give me some details on what to look for with the 93 model year Aerostar? Thanks in advance.

Well.....I've had my first problem with my new(used)93 Aerostar, I was driving down the road near a major mall and then I encountered steam(smoke)coming in through the dashboards. When I checked the gauges on the dashboard I noticed that my temp gauge was right at the H so I figured....OH OH....gotta be a rad.....anyway I pulled into the mall, got a tow truck and hauled it to the mechanic, he supposedly fixed the situation and called me and told me I was all set(this was yesterday)oh btw this problem occured on Sunday. Well I went out of town with my wife today, went to where I wanted to go no problems, until I left that place when I noticed it happened again....the temp gauge went right back to that blasted "H" again....man was I mad, I thought that mechanic didnt do a very good job so to make a long story short I got another tow truck, hauled it back to that same mechanic and tomorrow morning I will give him a piece of my mind.....shouldnt have the same problem twice in less than a week I figure. Hopefully this is it for a while! Just wanted to pass along a new story here on this forum....which btw I enjoy reading from time to time, like to know how other Aerostar owners are doing with their vehicles.

I have a 96 Aerostar V6 with 257000 kms on it, bought used in 99 with about 75,000 kms on the clock. I have had a new alternator fitted (bearing whined), a new battery last year(old one was fine but AAA man suggested replace it), two flex pipes with mufflers. I also had two new tie rods fitted at 160,000 kms. I've put brake pads/skimmed rotors 3 times (winter seems to kill them), rear shoes replaced once. I also had a new starter motor fitted ( which was the real problem when I replaced the battery). I think thats excellent for a van of this age. I still drive it 40 kms /day round trip & frequently do 1000+ km round trips. This van I will not get rid of, it has NEVER let me down yet in 7 years of almost daily driving!
Rock on Aerostar,
Regards, Aeroman
