 I bought this van new in June 2003 with 5 miles on it.  About half the time I've had it, there was a high idling, throttle problem.  Once they figured out to replace the throttle sensor, and then the throttle assembly, it has run great....and I've got over 140,000 miles on it now.  I had to replace the transmission at 112,000 miles, which cost about $3,300.  It gets about 22 mpg on the highway, and 17 in town.  It has all the whistles and bells and they all still work....although I wish they had had the DVD instead of the VCP.  I'm happy with my Windstar and expect to keep it for another 3-4 years.
