Would you put a new motor in a 1995 Ford Windstar or buy a newer model?

If the vehicle inside and out is in good condition, then it may be wise to install a new motor- either having the original rebuilt, or buying a new long block. I agree with this also. I would rather spend the money for motor than get into another car payment. Also have the tranny checked if it has a lot of mileage on it. This would be cheaper to put in a new or rebuilt tranny than have to pull the motor again to change it. Good luck.
