anybody got parts for my '97 4.0 liter extended body Ford Aerostar?
'Cause Ford Motor Company doesn't make them, Ford Dealers don't have them, everything is obsolete at Ford. E V E R Y T H I N G.
Like I told Ford's Customer Service: Look here: you almost destroyed Jaguar, but you couldn't. But you sure are experts at copying Jaguar styling aren't you?
and I can find any parts for any Jaguar as far back as 1930 which by the way, you were trying to prohibit the supply but you couldn't, AND I cannot find ANY part for a miserable 1997 FORD minivan? You tell THAT to your CEO and tell him JOSE wants to know WHY ARE NEW FORD PARTS MADE IN CHINA?

It's another conspiracy, Jose, to make motor vehicles completely disposable through Planned Obsolescence.
'Your car is 3 years old and you want parts? Sorry, we got no parts for that one, it's TOO OLD! But we can make you a great deal on a NEW one made of Plastic!'
And just Think of all the money and overhead they'll save not carrying parts, canning all the Parts staff, space saved not storing parts and the increase of bottom line. Whoever thought of that one probably got a Bonus!

I used to work for Ford, 27 years. I finished up at Halewood, Liverpool where we built Escorts. Ford decided not to put the replacement Focus into Halewood. They decided not to build cars in Britain, then no vans either. Now no Ford vehicles are built in the UK. However, Ford is still the market leader in the UK - so everything is imported from Spain, Germany, or Poland. Crazy. The old Halewood plant now builds Range Rovers!
