Which older, basic mini-van is best?

Cant knock a 90 ford Aerostar with a 3.0 in it. My mom had one and NOT single time did it EVER need to be torn into. When see got sold it (2007) it had 300k on it and didn't use any oil, the rack had a super slow leak, and the only thing done was the basic plugs/wires/cap/rotor/and filter changes. The auto tranny did go out a ~161k (lost first gear) and my tranny guy rebuilt it and was still going strong when she sold it. After 15 years of use I found another one in a pull a part with just 32k on it, ripped the entire interior out of and put that one in my moms (exact same color and I paid 100 bucks for everything minus the seats).
The only reason she sold it was because she wanted a newer mini van with all the option and bought an 2006 grand caravan sxt loaded (only option this van doesnt have is a power rear tail gate).
