Having a 1997 Mercury Villager, I would say "Yes'. I had some thoughts of a newer car, and I brought it to my mechanic and he said the engine was solid. I've had a few minor things over the past two years (fuel pump, battery, and thermostat) each amounting to no more that $150 in repairs (I have a good mechanic who doesn't overcharge). The car has over 270,000 miles on it and is going strong. It beats car payments any day. I keep the oil, air, and fuel filters changed regularly. I also maintain the many fluids and the car keeps on trucking along.
