69000 Miles of Joy

I was looking for a replacement for my reliable 2000 Mercury Sable LS with 225,000 and saw this car on the the net. The car had 6000 miles on it and was like new,from a Lincoln Mercury dealer, in Mertlot with a tan interior. The car other than the rear brakes replaced under the TSB there have no service other than maintenance. This car has been a joy to own and on long drives. This car is the best secret in the auto business with great features, great gas mileage 32-38 mpg expressway and 22-25 city drivung with an average of 27 mpg overall and great comfort. The car is in made in Chicago with great fit and finish.

Underrated

Just got this recently and I love it. I've always liked large "dad cars," and this car is a monster! Its design is subtle, and probably bland to most, but I love how elegant it looks. It's a deceptively powerful car that accelerates and handles like a dream. Could use a little more power, though. It's roomy, which is great for my lankier build. Tons of trunk/passenger space. It's mechanically sound and has a great factory sound system. The fuel economy is right around 20/28 for me, which is very good for a huge V6 vehicle. Overall, this car is a sleeper hit. It's comfortable and efficient, but won't appeal to fans of smaller vehicles that preach about fuel economy.

My problem has to do with the rain, water and leafs, pine needles, sand, anything that touches the windows goes into the door. The seal that is normally against the window in most cars, making it waterproof is not present on the Montego, in fact in discussing this with the few people that I was allowed to talk to at Mercury it was noticed that all of their cars except one, is now built this way. The seal that does touch the window is too far down, what doesn't go into the door with normal wind or vibration of the car goes into the door when the window is lowered. My car is not garage kept, I have mulch that is falling out of the bottom of the door, until it plugs up. Then what ice, rust....

189000 Miles couple brake jobs, 3 sets of tires,1 power steering rack ,and a motor mount. She is still going strong well worth the money . We are looking to replace her but will keep her for a backup wont get anything on a trade anyway. I will buy Ford seams like the best bang for your buck have an 06 f150 with 115000 Mi will keep it for another 70000 at least.

This is our stealth car. You really hardly notice it, not a flashy spot on it (except the headlights). But if you want Comfort, driving Ease, Plenty of Room, and a Quiet Ride, the Mercury Montego is Fantastic! Unbeatable! Quieter than our friend's Jaguar - by far. And amazingly easy to park, although it is not necessarily a Long car, just Big. We added the heated seats and we love them. Standard sound system is OK, but most people will probably want the upgrade. Drive one. Check out the view. Ours is Satellite Silver, very nice.
