bought used in 1997 with 27000 miles on it.. now has 107000 miles & still going strong..has been very reliable with only minimum maintenance & few repairs required... worst problem would be that rear AC unit went out & had to be replaced a couple summers ago..
Great Van

Love this van. The only problem with it was the rear main seal started leaking oil at about 75,000 miles. Had it repaired and still going with no leaks of any kind at 160,000 miles.

This car performed well for us the first 80,000 miles or so, but don't plan on owning it for the long run unless you enjoy poor workmanship that fails over time. The engine is a champ, the same they install in the Nissan Quest. But we've had trouble with cargo door alignment, power lock failure, power mirror failure, AC, rear heat and a handful of other electronic elements -- niggling things that we wish ahead of time we'd known were going tolet us down. The car just isn't built for the long haul.
Did I get a lemon?

Problems from the day I bought it with emissions: Rotten egg smell, burning smells, etc. Had it into dealer many times-no fix has worked. Have had fuel pump replaced twice (per dealer recommendation). Front AND rear windshield washer pumps have also been replaced. Too many expensive problems for a low-mileage car with faithful maintainence by owner.

The good thing about the early Villagers is that they all have the same shortcomings so when something goes wrong, it's easy to diagnose. We have 104,000 miles on it, so we can't complain too much, but every couple months it needs some sort of repair.
