Buy first think later!

Best van ever! We owned two both went over 200k. We know another lady had one well over 200k would still be driving it past 300k if I hadn't messed with ABS and got air in the line!

We've owned Villagers since 1993.

We've owned Mercury Villagers since 1993. We have loved our Villagers. All except one has gone into the high mileage category. Our 2001 has been a huge disappointment. But, we just bought our 4th Mercury Villager. Our second 1997, which we just loved our first with 255,000 miles on it and still runs and drives great. But, we needed another with lower mileage and this has 106,000 miles. Would recommend any Villager older than a 1999 when they changed the distributor and other things and changed the car for the worse.

Good working van

I think it is a good van. It is very smooth on the road runs and drives good. I would recommend this van for anybody who needs a mini van to be honest

1997 Mercury Villager

I am a corvette owner. Corvettes are not wionter cars. I needed a car for the winter season, so I purchased a 1997 Mercury Villager GS. This minivan is fun to drive. It feels like driving a car. It's attractive, comfortable, quiet and performs well on the highways.

beautiful driving car -- highly recommend

i have a toyota avalon and prefer the drive of the mercury villager to avalon. really comfortable seats -- i had leather-- especially for long distance driving, great handling, smooth auto gear shifting, smooth drive and acceleration seemed effortless on the car. miss my villager. took it off the road 6 months ago when i bought my avalon.
