Used 1996 Mercury Villager Consumer Reviews
Villager Fan
When in the market for a minivan a good friend suggested only one, the Mercury Villager or Nissan Quest. What a great decision. I purchased my 95 in 97 when it had 19000 miles on it. I now have 165,000 and besides replacing a high preasure fuel line (made it a lot harder than it was) the car has been repair free. I have only had to purchase tires.
I like it.
I have put 100K mi on this van since purchase in 1997 ($32,000 when purchased). I have replaced a fuel pump, sliding shoulder harness belt twice and just repaired ac ($350) Otherwise, it has been perfectly reliable and trouble free. Lady ran a red light last night and totaled it. I'm not happy about trying to find a replacement. I would have kept this car for as long as possible.
great vehicle
great vehicle, 9 yrs now and still going I want more!
Saying Goodbuy
I bought it based on it's good reviews and can honestly say it was worth every penny. I enjoyed it's usability carrying my family, radio control airplanes, or computers for my job. It now has just over 120k mi and I hope to help out a family in need. Repairs were wear and tear for the most part, except for a fuel pump (twice).
Great van
Bought this van in 98 with 54,000 miles it has been very reliable. It now has 126,000! Very few repairs have been needed. I don't like the cup holders though!
