The Ford Windstar for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Ford Windstar for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the Ford Windstar for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Windstar
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What to expect from the Windstar
As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Windstar first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Windstar on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Ford Windstar from us first.
Ask us about the Ford Windstar
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Ford Windstar for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Ford Windstar
Does CarmaCars sell the Ford Windstar?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Ford Windstar before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
