I love watching your older videos! This was a ridiculously clean van, probably one of the nicest vehicles I’ve seen that you’ve had over the years even if it was just a minivan.
3/26/2020 Ran the VIN on this thing, currently is still on the road in Oregon and it has 133XXX miles on it... I hope it’s still in as good shape as it is in this video!
Yeah, this was a more boxier design from the Toyota Previa, Chevy Lumina MPV, the Pontiac Transport and Olds Silhouette, but I always liked the Aerostar better than the Town And Country and Caravan because of how rare they are today.
@@Noah-M-P why did all the brands change the name of their vans so much LOL. Ford Aerostar, Windstar, Chevy Venture, Uplander, Chryster Town County, Chrysler Pacifica, Toyots Previa, Sienna lol
those Areostars was built in St. Louis MO at the Hazelwood plant 1984-1997. Its shut down and torn down now. both of my parents worked there and meet there, my dad 1964-1995 31 years, and my mom 1976-1993 17 years (she was on med leave). both are passed away now. great looking royal blue 1996 XLT EXT there Nathan! :)
I used to hate these and think they were ugly, and my next-door neighbor had one new back in the 1990's, and, if I like minivans at all, it is usually the Chrysler-produced ones I like, but this one is just simply spectacular! :) It's making me reevaluate all my old former "hatred" for the Aerostars! (Maybe I wouldn't even mind having one one day.)
My mom had one of these. Replaced in 1999 with a 2000 sienna XLE with the power sliding door and rear A/C controls. The coolest thing my kindergarten self remembers at the time
I loved my aerostar. Just got rid of it a couple days ago. Extremely reliable. Drove it across the country twice and all the way up and down HW 95. I miss that thing.
@@ToyoteroMundial Hey man. Sorry for the delay. I Built a simple wood frame for a bed, rigged up some curtains, a counter space and I have a porto-potty, which I keep outside, in what once was, a 3 x 5 grow tent.Portable out-house.
@@bobfink5608 I bought a 1994 Aerostar,,It has the 4.0 6 cyl...pretty good shape..Its a two tone tan...making it a camper van...its way over 200,00...still runs like a champ
I got a 95 aerostar electronic 4 wheel drive ...i bought it from a older lady and it runs like new....its almost as clean as the one you are showing ...i like it
I owned a 93 and it was the most comfortable traveling vehicle I ever owned even though I thought it was the ugliest thing on the roadway. And it towed my boat very nicely.
That's bad ass, wish this was available right now I'd buy it within reason, 4x4 too, that's how you know your getting old when your excited about a clean old 4x4 van lol
Had a 93 4 liter extended put 1 transmission at around 235,000 the trans shop didn't believe it was the original, but I did the pan,filter and flush myself often with 3-3500 on oil changes anyhow when I junked it, it had 475,000 aprox and still ran - although not that good. I spent more on tires than anything else, and only left me on the roadside once when trans went. I got lucky with that sucker. oh yeah 2 starters, both at local wallmart and 1 alternator making noise.
Awesome looking Aerostar. I remember when they debuted back in the mid 80s. At the time I thought it was quite attractive, way better than the Chevy Astro. 30+yrs on, they still look quite attractive. I find them more attractive than what's on the market today.
Growing up with my Dad having one of these as a kid along with my brother and sister, man the memories! Now I have a daughter and are married and I'd love to have one just like this now, definitely Built Ford Tough for sure, yet its technically a truck not a van or a " Mans van" not a pussywagon like all minivans that followed after this. Would gladly give up the shitty 98 2dr explorer I have now to get this!
My family had one of these from sometime in the '90s to 2003, when we got a new Windstar SEL in the same maroon our Aerostar was in. Seeing the interior of this one really takes me back. This one was in INCREDIBLY good shape, almost looks like it just rolled out of the dealer in 1996 (the low mileage is probably a big reason for that). But I guess with 10 years having gone by since this video, who knows what shape it's in now... Fun (maybe) fact: One of my earliest memories of life is barfing in the back seat of our Aerostar, probably in 1997 or so
Awesome! My parents had a 93 aerostar and it had difficulties starting in the cold here in Minnesota. They ended up trading it in on a 96 Camry that is still going strong today
I've always disliked how this vans looked even when they were new.....but now after watching this video I gotta say I love how this van looks, especially the extended length aurostar like this one, but more then anything the big seller for me is the AWD! What a Rareity!! What used to look hideous to me, Now looks Beautiful!!
I had the Eddie Bauer edition. It had a 10-band equalizer for the stereo amongst some incredible other features. Inflatable front seats etc. Decent vans.
That could also explain it's extreme cleanliness. My Buick Century has an absolutely immaculate interior but the body has some scuffs and marks and there is a little bit of rust underneath it, but other than that, it's quite similar to this Aerostar. My Century is from 2000, so it's much newer.
after a LONG time...I just had to come back and watch this video...I'm heartsick. this van is AWESOME. I owned one. should've kept it. never had any problems with it. Of course I regularly took it to the Mech.
My parents had one of these when I was young. My only memory of it was being carried to it when I fell and busted open my leg, quick to the ER! Haha my dad always talked about how he missed the 4x4 van
Ah yes, the 90s when car interiors were the same colour as the exterior. My first car was a 1994 Ford Thunderbird, green on green.. that JEEP Wagoneer, the Mercedes, and that red Tucker? look awesome
holy shit i remember when our parents bought one of these brand new and it blew my mind...my favorite part was that there was a radio with a headphone jack in the back, but you could only listen to what was playing so there was no point of it lol
Nice little van,, It's great that all the underside has been cleaned so when everything starts leaking, you will be able to see where it's leaking from, I bet it gets decent gas mileage too
Man those things are STUPID RARE NOW !!! My dad had a 90 RWD XL Eddie Bauer edition, he had few years until the body started to rust away. Never any engine or rust issues !!
My Mom had an SWB XLT from 94' to '05. No major mechanical problems, although the driver side electric window, sliding door, passenger door and rear hatch broke. She also had an '89 that completely died.
Had this type of van, that long Ford Aerostar that could get up and go, and would do amazingly good mpg.......I'd still have one to this day, but have no need for one now.....until owning it, my views were...minivan.....blah....what a surprise it turned out to be, as I drove it through all sorts of Canadian winter conditions....never failed me once.
I just got a 93 XLT with 163k Miles 1 owner for $900. Rear brake lines and cylinders had to be replaced other then that Not a single thing wrong with it. Electronic 4 wheel drive.
This van is Beast i still remember ours man wen i was 5 it brings back memories man i miss it ): we bought it on an emergency situation we where in California and we needed a van at the time to go to Atlanta Georgia and oh man this van was a beast it refused to die we took it like from longbeach california to Atlanta Georgia then after 3 years it was still running and we took it on our 4 rd year to onother long trip from Atlanta Georgia to Pasco washington and damn i miss it man it is now 2014 and my uncle owns it to this day it's still running like a pro he also took it alredy to Michoacan Mexico From Calofornia and it's running so good man like the color may not b perfect now but the van is just Fantastic
Wish I had this, had an '89 Aerostar (with all the digital gauges) one time loved it so much.. I love what you are doing making these videos with all these amazing cars, it's like re-living my childhood seeing these great cars... I had to subscribe. I'm saving up, so some day I'll be calling you to see what you have in stock! Have a good one!
good old Aerostar i know someone that had one and had been in it and they are nice vans. also know a campground that one or 2 of these is still used one a panel version used by the cleaning crew. also 2 where monster trucks or i guess monster vans and possibly more but Boogy Van and Bigfoot are the 2 that come to mind
We had a 92 town n country with 43k original back in 08. Paid 3500 for it and it got up to 30 or 40 mpgs if I remember. It was kint and fully loaded and actually a pretty decent cruiser for the 120k we abused it for.
Beautiful. By the way, when you have a car that clean, don’t comment on how clean it is and then proceed to put your greasy finger prints all over it. With clean and or vintage cars, live by this, “Look don’t touch. If you touch it, you have to clean it.”
I love watching your older videos! This was a ridiculously clean van, probably one of the nicest vehicles I’ve seen that you’ve had over the years even if it was just a minivan.
This is fantastic.. this is my dream 🙈. I have 15 years ago, travel from Mississippi to Oregon, full size bed, cooking inside. I like to buy again.👍🤔
3/26/2020 Ran the VIN on this thing, currently is still on the road in Oregon and it has 133XXX miles on it... I hope it’s still in as good shape as it is in this video!
I would drive this thing to high school, it’s beautiful!

This just goes to show that a vehicle CAN last forever if you take care of it properly.
Rust
Easy to take care of anything that is only driven 1700 miles a year.
Lol.. just realized this video is 5 years old. 🤦♂️
Larry Green its 8 years old the video is from 2012

+Cereal Marshmallows is this one SOLD
Craig Goodwin Back off pal... lol
+alpalJL I was just kidding I do not want to buy it
Cereal Marshmallows you have anymore ford aerostar xlt..4 wheel drive preferred??
97 was the last year, and they had the AWD system as well. The 97's also had 5 speed autos on the 4.0 V6 and red rear turn signals.

Mannnn I would drive this to work at Stein Mart at 16 after school 😂😂😂
Can't even believe you found a 2-owner mid 40K mileage Ford Aerostar. The condition is ridiculously good. You won't have this one for long.

What a majestic Ford Aerostar!
The old dustbuster minivans. Not many things make me feel old at the age of 24 but these vans are on the shortlist.
Oh wow, I remember being in one of these in the late 90's we got rid of it in 1999 for a brand new windstar, which we still own :)
Thinking of getting one of these just for camping. Hopefully it hasn't sold yet.
Cool thing too is that all those back seats come out
They're getting quite rare!
I LOVE this van! I miss my Aerostar. This van Ford COULD have made for DECADES!
Loved it when you were at this site, it’s what got me hooked on your vids.

Good job nice van

I collect Windstar's and that is a great Aerostar.☺

Very nice vehicle, I have one of these as one of my first cars, this van is on one of my favorite cars, the millage on mine 141,xxx
Omg I love these vans !!! I hope ford brings it back !! Vw for 2015 is bring back the scirocco
The Ford Transit Connect is basically a modern day Aerostar except it's FWD.
