best used vehicle for the money

This car feels safe and has one of the most spacious trunks that I have ever seen! I think that it will be a great vehicle for the family.

this is a great vehicle.

My daughter drives this car out of town to her college that she just started to this August. I bought it for her, she absolutely loves it.

A real classy look and easy to drive!

Purchased as used but only one previous owner. Such a great ride, so reliable, the feel of class. Wish they were still making them. Most people surprised at her quick strong engine. Excellent in all kinds of weather. Seating is as good as my living room chair! Hope she runs for another 20k - 30 k miles as I love this car.

I love my car !

I absolutely love my 2005 Montego premier and v6 cvt transmission ?? It really is an amazing car ! I got it for $300 with a blown motor the previous owner was not all that bright and ran the car over an hour home with no oil in it so the motor was shot . I went to our nearby scrap yard and got a motor I with 45k on it for another $300 ! Mind you the car is fully loaded heated peer seats , sun roof , back up sensors , power windows , keyless entry you name it ! The cars got it for its year ! So my husband did the labor of the motor job , not so much as a check engine light nothing ! Runs great drives great . Of course I had to do normal stuff like wheel bearings ,breaks , lower control arms . Nothing to dramatic ( has 182k on the odemeter ) . Overall I love the car and would recommend it to ANYONE has some good power and decent gas mileage for the size of it . My only let down is its design . It's kind of got the old lady car look but heck for the comfort of it I'll take it ! I've had the car for a year and a half and put 40ishK miles on it . She's never let me down "knock on wood" but she is getting a bit rusty I live in upstate NY and her pervious owner didn't take the best care of her . So she will soon be retired ! But I would definitely recommend this car to anyone like I said before !

Most feature-packed, comfortable car we've owned.

Ford well ahead of it's time on this car's standard accessories. AWD provides awesome handling in snow and on wet roads. There are numerous small extras like: 10-way power + heated, both driver and passenger, leather bucket seats; heated side mirrors; auto audio level is controlled by Montego's speed; separate driver/passenger climate controls; 2-person memory seat, outside mirrors and brake/gas position settings; auto-dimming mirror with electronic compass and universal garage door openers; HID headlights and LED tail lights...And many more features that all add up to an extremely comfortable and quiet ride.

Most comfortable and reliable car!

We bought our '05 Montego Premier in 2011, from a family member. It had 35,000 miles on it. It's still like new. Only issue was the A/C quit in 2015, we replaced it for $950.00. Other than new tires, and routine maintenance - zero issues. Comfortable, reliable, nice features - wish the gas mileage was better. However, we didn't buy if for the gas mileage!

2005 Mercury Montego Premier

We loved the vehicle the moment we saw it and liked it even better when we test drove the car,. The vehicle had everything we were looking for, heated seats, power seats, driver and passenger and sunroof as well as many other features. The car drives like a new vehicle and is smooth riding and quiet. The side mirrors are larger which makes it easy to see both sides. I like the back up sensor that tells me I am getting too close. Overall we are extremely happy with this purchase.

Montego is a very reliable car.

I have owned this car since 05 and I have never had a problem with the car. AWD comes in handy during the winter time.
