I have a chance to buy an 06 Ford mini van with 115,000 miles for $500. This was a Budweiser can they apparently hauled displays, etc in. It only has the front 2 seats. I was thinking about maybe flipping it. Maybe find someone looking for a work van or something. Any idea what these things go for? Thanks, Billy

I'm not sure. My dad called me today and told me about it. What is the deal with a windstar? Problems?

they're essentially the 6.0L of the minivan world.. lol.. lots of stupid little problems.. and in 98-03 the axles snapper.. there is a reason ford stopped making minivans.. they are better at trucks.. if its a freestar its not too bad:

In 2009, the 2005 Freestar scored second place in J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study, behind the Dodge Caravan

but i still wouldn't touch it

Thanks for the info. The wifey shot down my plans anyway. I think it is a freestar though.
