The 2000 Ford Windstar for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Ford Windstar; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2000 Ford Windstar, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Windstar
There are 14 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 1,675 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, suspension and power train; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 3.8L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 13.5 L/100 km combined: about 41 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.93, and a 300 km weekend about $62.79. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,825 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Inside and out
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the Windstar on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.93 in fuel.
