Used 1996 Mercury Villager Consumer Reviews
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!
Looking for another
We like our villager so much, we are looking for a deal on another. Has 112,000 miles. Engine and trans have had no problems. Has been on 1400 mile (round trip) 4 times. Perfect every time. Side glass rattles were fixed by replacing the hinge on the glass. Most expensive repair was radiator fan. I did learn that most dealer parts can be bought cheaper from Nissan. The fan I mentioned earlier-- Mercury $264 Nissan $179. Getting ready to buy a newer van. After looking at and driving a few, (Chrysler, Chev, Olds, Toy, Hon) we decided another Villager will give us the best "bang for our buck"
Great Car
Bought new in 95, after 7 years and 90,000 plus miles, we finally had our first repair and it was just a loose motor-mount and topping off coolant for the a/c. We love this car.
