My worst nightmare
I've only had this car for 4 years and have spent enough money on repairs to purchase another newer used car. I'm only at 66K and already am on the 3rd transmission, have new brakes, new water pump, new radiator, new head gasket. Plus I've had electrical problems with the original stereo system so I've replaced that to.
Sable Wagon
I purchased the car to as a work car to do Marine Fiberglass work in 2003, as an alternative to a Chrysler Minivan. It doesn't have the room of the minivan, but the car gets better mileage and doesn't look like a soccer car. The car had 85k on it when purchased. It now has 132k. It had ALL of its original parts and it came with the 3.0 litre engine. There haven't been any problems with the engine except a water pump and the bearing on the A/C going bad. Otherwise it's been very dependable. The only other major draw backs are: the transmission (it now needs to be repaired), and the brakes (two sets of rear rotors, one set of new calipers). Otherwise, it's been a great car.
My Sable 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.
Worst mechanical car ever owned
This car at 72000 miles has a knock and Ford tells me it needs a new engine. This is in spite of conservative driving and regular oil changes as required. Every other car I've had has exceeded 100,000 miles and 10 years. This is after having the head gasket blow at 52,000 miles (Same story as Jim22) and Ford refused to give any coverage under warranty. I will never buy another Ford. Very disappointed and angry at such irresponsible action and lack of owing up to their mistakes.
Keeps goin' and goin' and goin'
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!
