I inherited this vehicle from my parents. I came to college, and needed something to transport me short distances. This vehicle is very good at that. In the past, it had some huge issues (completely dying in a construction zone on the freeway, a few accidents, lack of AC in AZ summer...), But I've had no troubles while I've had it. It's not pretty; the hood is spray painted black, some of the automatic windows won't roll down, and a few people have vomited in it, but Black Betty does her job. The sun roof is really nice to have open during the summer, but I live in Colorado, and the middle windows will ice over which creates a huge blind spot. Sometimes she makes noises, and she sure struggles to get up hills, but she always makes it to the top. I love the amount of people she can tran... (more)
Story
Black Betty was our main transportation vehicle for getting to parties. Everyone knew that she could fit the entire group of friends, no problem. Everyone wanted to drive her because she was the coolest of the cool. I once picked up two friends who were vomiting on the side of the road. I was literally stopping to let them through up out of the side doors of the van every thirty seconds. Final... (more)

I am definitely satisfied with my Mercury Villager overall. I purchased from someone off of Craigslist it a few months ago now, and it only had one previous owner. It is probably the best van I or my husband have owned (we've had three others before). Surprisingly so, because it's an older year than any of those three. At 25 years old, she is still running very well.
Story
I've taken it camping, and it is very comfortable and spacious enough to accommodate everything you need. People are comfy in the back.
Pros
I love the digital dash display. I was very surprised that this was a feature for a 1993 vehicle. It shows all information digitally, including speed, fuel, temperature, fuel economy (average and current) and number of miles till empty. There is minimal rust, and the back of the van is spacious and comfortable. It has a sunroof as well. Power doors and locks. It is kind of cute for a minivan, too. Definitely not a bad looker.
Cons
When I purchased it, the seats (in the front) were all ripped up so I had to purchase seat covers. No big deal. Also I have only owned it for a few months but have already had to replace the battery and alternator, which may be perhaps why the previous owners were selling it. It needs an alignment as well, which I will do soon. It pulls to the right a bit. These things are all routine maintenance though and don't speak to the actual integrity of the vehicle. They are just the small issues I've had.

1997 Mercury Villager - It works good, needs fluids filled every few days.

Runs good, has good fuel economy, very reliable, it is made by Nissan when the Japanese company was Japanese. I can use parts from the Nissan Quest, Parts are available and it is a good running car for 21 years old.
Story
This thing carries more things than I could have imagined. It carried a washing machine, a full sized couch on top, and it fits 4X8 plywood with the back hatch closed.
Pros
Power and mileage.
Cons
Leaks fluids.
