Review

The transmission went out in the car and I would like to sell it so I would like to know what it is worth. The car runs good otherwise and has been a good form of reliable transportation.

Favorite Features

the car gets excellent gas mileage

My Sable Review

1992 Mercury Sable 4 Dr LS Sedan

Review

I purchased my Sable with only 48000 miles on it. It now has over 130000 on the odometer. I used to drive 100 miles a day. After about 4 thousand dollars in repairs it runs and drives like new. New Trans., re-built engine, new suspension, new front end equipment. You name it, I replaced it.

Favorite Features

The 3.8L engine does have some pep to it. I still wouldn't suggest this car to anyone, unless they buy one that, like mine, has had everything replaced.

Review

In the 10 years we've had this Sable (3.0 L engine) it's been very reliable and needed very few repairs (new radiator and ignition switch is about it, besides the normal brakes, oil changes ,etc.) Runs very smoothly and is a pleasure to drive.

Favorite Features

The auxiliary sound system controls on dash near the steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

The only things I don't like about this car: 1) It turns like a pig - the turning radius is ridiculous - need at least 5 lanes for a u-turn. 2) Those stupid extra lights in the grill. Just don't replace them when they burn out.

Good value

Review

Having owned a '86 Taurus, I appreciate the FoMoCo mid-size comfort, performance and value. When I bought this Sable GS, it had several small problems, but they were ALL described in Technical Service Bulletins (ALLDATA). The front struts made a popping noise at slow speed (solved by spacers); the car thunked on acceleration (solved by new front motor mount); the paint is faded on horizontal surfaces (sand & repaint); and igniton key sticks (ignored it). Once repaired, this car runs smoothly, engine and transmission are fine, all other itmes work well. Solid, safe, dependable car at an exceptional value. I anticipate another 100k plus miles.

Favorite Features

Value; excellent combination of size, ride comfort, economy and handling

Suggested Improvements

Better engineering and attention to build quality, to eliminate recalls, warranty problems, and TSB "fixes"

Dependable

Review

Only problem seems to be the head gaskets on the 3.8 need replacing at about 85,000 miles, as this happened to me on another 3.8 I own. (The other 3.8 has 142,000 miles!) I've got 182,000 on this car, with original transmission and transmission. Interior has stood up very well. Original starter finally went at 160,000! It's been a dependable car!

Review

I've had this car for 9 years now and it has 253K miles on and still running. I have had many repairs within the last year dealing with engine, brakes, and some electrical, but my only problem now is a loud muffler! I feel very safe in this car in the snow and because of it's size. Looking for a new car now and need to find something that can live up to the long life of this car! Great car!

Favorite Features

The size, smooth ride, and comfortability.

Review

Bought this car w/ 20K miles. Now has 140K. I've had a much better experience than some postings here. It has been very reliable other than normal maintenance and minor repairs you would expect with a car this age. Still has original transmission, A/C. Body and paint still in great shape. Very comfortable ride.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats, reliability

Review

I like the looks of my car. It is now 2003 and my car looks as good as any on the road. I have looked at new cars and none of them compare with the features on my 1992. Throughout the years it has been mainly trouble-free. The gas mileage is terrific. I do a lot of highway driving and because of the digital instrument panel I can see immediately that I can get 32 mpg.

Favorite Features

I found out that the digital instrument panel is no longer available and it is one of my favorite features - on long trips it was a challenge to see how high I could get the avg. mpg.

Suggested Improvements

I wouldn't change a thing because the car is loaded with features.

Unhappy Experience

Review

Bought the car used with less than 50K miles. Almost immediately, had to replace the transmission. Spent $1,000 - 1,500 every year on repairs. Yesterday, with a blown head gasket, sold the car for junk.

Favorite Features

Comfort and handling

Suggested Improvements

There's no point in making suggestions. It's way too late.
