Used 1992 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
Excellent car
My dad bought this car for my mom when she was pregnant with me. This was 17 years ago, in Anchorage Alaska. The car spent 14 years in Alaska brutal weather. Now here in Georgia, I drive this car, as a teen I'm hard on it. The interior is still awesome, very comfortable. The exterior paint is still glossy and smooth. This car has never stopped working. I just took it in to the shop and had some maintenance (age and weather took its tool on the tranny gaskets and the spark plug wires and stuff) and the car showed no signs of stopping before the job was done. Now that the stuff is replaced, I can expect another 3-5 years out of it. Awesome car. Well built. Never fails. It's safe feeling as well
Reliability for me = Hi Miles - Repairs
Very pleased with this car's performance. Has 176K on it. Got my money's worth!! Engine and transmission still running. Transmission shifts poorly between 2nd and 3rd. Mainly have to replace rear shocks every 50K, pads/brakes (easy to change), Water pump failed at 125K, overheated car and had to remachine heads/ head gasket. Body starting to accelerate rust spots. Can't kill this car. Going for 200K. Would buy another one without much problem except not too excited about aethetic design change in '94-98.
good value
overall a good car especially for the money paid. it is well equipped, great highway ride, comfortable, relatively inexpensive to repair.
Good Car
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.
Good car
Our family inherited this vehicle from my great-grandmother when she passed away. Ever since, the car has been very reliable and we have had very few problems with it since. The car drives excellent and is very reliable. In it's entire history, it has needed the fuel pump and tie rods replaced once, also the muffler needed to be replaced a total of two times. It's a little thirsty for gas but it drives well and is very dependable, especially during the winter months. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone who is searching for a great older car.
