Should be worth more
by Unknown on 6/8/2024 4:18:00 AM
This car is the most reliable car I have ever had if I were to buy one again I would buy the 2000/the year model its my favorite and I would pay $90,000 for it that's just how much I love this car, the only thing I would say that it needs is a better sound system and yearly maintaining - 5.0

GAS HOG but reliable
by Fgrib on 5/28/2023 7:30:05 PM
My average miles per gallon on my 1999 mountaineer all-wheel-drive is about 14-16. I inherited this vehicle from my uncle in 2017, when it had 54,000 miles on it. At this age it needed brakes, water pump, the rear windshield wiper didn’t work, etc. I have been driving this car for 5 1/2 years and I have had very few issues with it other than gas consumption. Everything works well and it has never let me down in five years. It’s a larger heavy vehicle and I feel safe in it. Overall, I am very happy with my mountaineer and hope to get ANOTHER 5 years out of it! I give it 4.5 stars.
