Well, DH had a change of heart and today we did get the 2003 Windstar I have been looking at. Blue book for it is $7500 and we got them down to $5300 and we got $1000 trade in for DH's 1995 barely alive not worth much Camry. So, a really good deal. The driver's side slider doesn't work, as in won't even unlock. They said they will fix it so it opens manually but will not replace the motor if it is the problem. A bit disappointed, but I will get over it.
Now, my real concerns is there is a recall on 2003 Windstars.

There were 2 others, but this is the one I am most concerned about at this time. First of all, how do I find out if it has been performed? I paid for a carfax out of pocket and it only mentioned this one but didn't say anything about if it had been done or not, just said exactly what the link says. I thought the carfax report should have that info...so I am thinking that means it isn't. My other question about that is does it sound like it is the LATCh system that has a problem or the latches the hold the seats in the van? I was confused by that, so if anyone has had this recall fix, maybe you know?
So, not a van that the kids will be riding in until everything is squared away, but at least DH or I will have something to drive to work and leave the other with the Freestar and car seats instead of one of us being stuck and home with only his "no way are the kids going in that" car.
Thanks!!
