"A healthy majority of 1997 Aerostars were purchased by previous Aerostar owners who knew this was their last chance to replace their beloved vehicle with something close."
Is there any substantiation for this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.122.245.178 (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2006
- I don't think so. It sounds non-NPOV to me, so I'll go ahead and remove it. --ApolloBoy 00:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I soucred this from dealerships at the time. Most had older Aerostars traded in on the new ones, and low mileage, excelent condition used ones are still popular and often are used to replace older, high mileage ones since people have limited choices if they like their current vehicle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnTaurus (talk • contribs) 21:38, 8 July 2006.
[edit] Relation to Ranger
I removed this info because the citation was not a reliable source. It came from an online public rating site, and the reviewer couldn't even get the introduction date correct. Actually, I would be inclined to say that the Explorer relation is incorrect as well, as my experience with these vehicles is that they are quite different. --Sable232 00:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Well I am so sorry that you are perfect and I made a mistake, I dont appreciate the attacks there, if it was a mistake then FIX IT. And who are you to decide its not a credible source. 67.59.10.54 02:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I intended no attack. epinions.com is a public rating site. Because somebody posted that the two are related doesn't mean it is fact. If this can be backed up, maybe by an early automotive journal review, that's fine. I checked the '86 Motor Trend Car Of The Year article, where the brand-new Aerostar was a contestant, and there was no relation mentioned. --Sable232 03:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
The Aerostar is based on the Ranger platform, but it is a unique version which is a welded unibody to a frame, and there for not an exact replica of the Ranger underpinnings. The engines (2.3L, 3.0L, 4.0L), transmissions, and even wheels are shared by these vehicles. -JohnTaurus
[edit] self ref to Piper Aerostar
Ninety-nine percent of the people who search the word Aerostar are looking for the car, but a few are looking for the airplane. Instead of inconveniencing almost everybody with a disambiguation page, Aerostar should redirect directly to the car, but have a self-ref at the beginning of the article for airplane people who may not be aware that the Aerostar was manufactured by Piper and my not think to try to look for Piper Aerostar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KTrimble (talk • contribs) 02:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
