1989 Ford Aerostar Minivan, bought in October 2003 for $500.00. Still running.
5 speed Manual, rear wheel drive, 165,000 miles.
Very little/ lack off shocks and struts ( Bounces alot on the road)
Windshield Wipers dont work
Cassette player does not work, only picks up AM frequency. Only one rear speaker works
Inspection sticker expired in 2002, have not gotten one because it wont pass an inspection
Cracked windshield
Passenger window handle fell off
Starter takes a couple tries to get working
Air Compressor is dead, and the heater core had to be bypassed ( so no heater or AC)
No back seats. Just a blanket, lounge chair, alarm clock, pillow and lots of tools.
Half of the back bumper is missing.
Tailpipe is about to fall off.
Beat that
My friends nickname this van "Vantera".
Here is an pic of the van back in early 2004

UPDATE
Just an update, I am now getting between 12-14 mpg
I think my engine is dying on me, I have been hearing a faint knocking for the past couple months in the lower gears. I will drive it till it dies though!
