Ford Freestar The Ford Freestar is a solid, highly capable minivan that performs well and offers all the latest safety features. Much of the Freestar's structure and design came from the Windstar it replaced. Windstar offered class-leading safety and solid performance for its time. Freestar is the highest quality minivan it has ever built.

Just snagged a 2004 Monterey Premier off ebay, and will get it next week. It has 80K miles by one Calif owner. Being the Premier, it is tarted up with all the options, such as separate climate controls for driver and front seat passenger.

My main concern is the tranny, of course. ATF was last changed about 30K miles ago. The other thing that puts me off is its weight - 4,600 lbs. It doesn't seem like it has to be that heavy. It's replacing a 4200 lb XJ-6, however, which gets lots of local driving, and the occasional long trip.
