Merc Villager
Have had only 2 problems in over 90,000 miles, both relate to power assc funtions. Repaired both myself for under 75.00ea. Power Window switch partly failed and power door lock switch failed casing "odd" door lock operation in whitch they locked and unlocked on their own and when they wanted two. Vech had 12,ooo miles on it when i got it.

best vehicle i own
since buying this vehicle it has performed to every high standard i have asked for in a minivan. the comfort and quality of ride has out performed others in my past vehicles. the only thing lacking is a dvd player not available in 1997,but i will add it later. well done mercury for another fine automobile.
No complaints
Decent fit and finish. Body still looks great. Engine and tranny are solid. Wish I had leather.
Built on an
I don't like paying dealer $75 just to find out why the engine light is on (happens about every 6 months). The electrical is a nightmare. Rear wiper quit working at 30k miles, the locks open and close spontaneously whether the engine is running or not. We have been trapped in the car for a few minutes while the locks were flipping back and forth on their own. My kids have gotten locked in after I put them in their seats and I walked around the car to get in. The ford dealer said the possessed locks are also in the 2002 models of their compact cars). I have put about $4000 into the engine replacing parts that have died before their time.
