So we always had Aerostars growing up, my parents were a big fan of them and my dad was always quite proud to own them. Anyways, my dad will be in town with me in the future and need a vehicle. I would like to buy him a cheap Aerostar off craigslist and do some repairs and tune ups as needed and have it ready for him a few months from now.
So, what should I look for. There are many different models and years on cl in all different price ranges and i just dont know where to start. I usually research and decide on engine/trans for whatever i am buying and then go with options from there. This should be much simpler though and i am going for cheap here.
My dad is not picky, as long as it has heat and windshield wipers were good there. We had a panel base model for a while when i was real little so that would probably work. I remember i used to sit on a milk crate in the middle of the driver and passenger seats I see quite a few different engines, 3.0, 4.0, smaller i think than that to. I guess i would just like some info on the probably the most reliable engine/trans models/years etc. Im sure you guys know what would be best for what im looking for. Prefferred auto but manual trans would be ok.
Thanks for any tips or advice.
