This Car Will Not Die

This car has been in my family since 1996. I got it as my first car, and if I never had to buy another car, I wouldn't. It's great in snow, decent mileage for a big van, built like a TANK. 240k miles and it's running like a champ. The only major repair it's needed is a replaced timing belt...because my dad forgot to replace it...but it lasted twice as long as it was supposed to! Also, I don't know how many miles I put on it per year. 40k is just a guess. My parents gave it to me about four years ago.
A solid family van

Bought it in the first model year because I felt comfortable with the proven Maxima drivetrain and I loved the styling. I've driven this van for 12 years and found it to be reliable, flexible (you can fit plywood sheets in it!) and surprisingly fun to drive. It is REALLY comfy for long road trips! Only maintenance gripe is some problem with the exhaust manifolds, which tend to warp or something. I got this repaired under warranty at 55k mi, but I had to do it again on my own tab at 110k - ouch.

We bought it new in 1993, best minivan on the market then. It feels like driving a car, power seat adjusts well to any driver, the rear seat adjustments were most flexible. Smooth drive train, gets about 20 mpg, pretty quiet with good tires. Steering and suspension have a nice feel of the road. No major repair, just expected replacements of tires, battery, mufflers, brake pads. With mud flaps, there's not a single spot of rust after 11 years. The styling is not outdated, very similar to the 2003 Toyota Sienna. The only reason to replace it would be to keep up with neighbors, or to downsize after the kids have grown up!
Crazy bout' a Mercury

I bought my van to accommodate our growing family. Very luxurious inside overall, especially when you used to drive an 87 Accord. My cruise control never worked(bought in 2003/2nd owner) and the check engine light was on. Didn't notice any problems, so never had it checked. Few weeks ago had to have the O2 sensor replaced and the light went off. Imagine that, 6 years and never a problem. Exhaust manifold bolts are cracked or sheared and AC has to be recharged every 1 or 2 summers. Other than that, it's been great. I hope to keep it for many more years and you know what?......I'm pretty sure I'll be able to!
Hard to find a replacement

I bought used with 41000 miles. The timing belt was replaced at 88000 and 150000 miles. Radiator and fuel pump and water pump replaced 145000 miles then the usual tires brakes etc. The shocks and struts were replaced 188000 miles. I have looked hard for a replacement that is as comfortable and reliable as this van. Settled on a used Volvo XC90.
