I was ready to chime in to fix it but I thought I would try Kelley Blue Book first. I was surprised at how little this vehicle is worth! A 2000 Windstar with 90K in fair-good condition prices out at $2300-2700. When you subtract the cost to fix the transmsision and A/C leak, it might be time to bite the bullet and get another used vehicle. Call around to see what you can get for the vehicle as-is (try used car dealerships, mechanics, junkyards). Then add in your stimulus and see what you can get. You should be able to find a decently priced reliable used vehicle as LuxLiving suggested.
