I am going to take a stab at this one. No one in their right mind is going to admit to driving such a piece of garbage. If you want to join the 1993 Ford Aerostar car club it meets in central Tijuana on the 3rd Saturday of every month.

i had a 1989 aerostar with the 3.0L and i never had a problem and i bought it brand new and put 250,000 miles on it before i sold it. As long as you have one with the 3.0L or good but 4.0L were very problem ridden.
