At first it was a good deal. Low mileage, good price, the previous owner had kept up on all the scheduled maintenance. Six months later my timing belt blew out on the highway (yes, blew out) with about 55,000 miles on the car. Then power steering fluid began leaking and actually rotted out the sway bar bushings. So far I've spent nearly one third of what I originally paid for the car to have it repaired. Be careful!

99 Mercury Mystique, I think I know more about the vehicle than an actual mechanic. Besides the paint peeling off and rusting on my roof, the check engine lights seems to be following me with more expenses. Catylic convertor, oxygen sensors, spark plug wires, starter, the alternator what else could go wrong.
Very reliable; great value

I purchased this V6/5-speed LS w/70k and have added 34k over the last 2 1/2 years. Performance and fuel economy have always been excellent for this class. Vehicle has been very reliable; only been in the shop twice in that time for anything more than maintenance (A/C leak and Shifter Cable, $400 total). Fun & inexpensive to own and drive. I highly recommend (but try to get a '99 or 2000 Model, prior years were less reliable, I've learned)
Decent Looking/Lousy Reliability

I purchased this car in 2000 with 18K miles on it. At 50K I had to replace the Fuel Pump, Gas Tank as well as a couple misc. parts. At 80K I had to replace the Fuel Pump again... at a cost of almost $500.00 each. At 100K I had to replace the Serpantine belt because it was shredded. This car looks good, has zero power, but decent gas mileage. Frankly, I can't wait to get rid of it.
