Ok guys. I'm not much for a ford person, but I've heard reports that the 3.8
in the 95 windstar has some head gasket trouble. Should I purchase a 95
windstar with 101,000 miles? According to the info from Carfax it was a
fleet vehicle and they took care of their own cars...

Any vehicle at that mileage and age is a crap shoot.

==============================
A car with that many miles is usually hard to sell. So...you should be able
to get it really cheap. Have a mechanic look it over for you. If you get it
cheap enough you can aford new head gaskets if they crap out

on this newsgroup the 3.8 engine has/had alot of problems in the early
90's, i would stay away from the 3.8 in that period.. i had a 3.8 in a
mustang in 1983, never a problem with it but they used asbestos in the
gaskets back then and stopped it due to epa ragulations... better safe
than sorry...

Most blow at 100,000 to 120,000
Don't go for it.
