Save The Sables
After the four tires were slit, at a restaurant, with only 750 miles on it. All went well. Extended warranty was a good thing to have when the Transmission went. No problem to get fixed. Recalls were done. No problem. Problem: 'sno go in the snow. Could not bring its self to go in the snow. That was the worst thing about it. Back seat riders felt like they were "floating"
1994 Midnite Green Sable
looks perfect. wrecked 3 times (T-boned each side and front end into a ditch once. No putty. New parts each repair). Everything works except the lumbar inflation in the passenger's seat. Has full electronics package. Leather interior in perfect shape.
dont buy it too used
Pretty decent car, problems with reliability though. Ford really needs to improve their transmissions. It was rebuilt by previous owner at about 75 K miles, I got it at 100K and within a month it needed to be rebuilt again. Expensive too, they wanted $1500 BASE to fix it. I got rid of it while I could. Don't bother buying it if it has very many miles on it.
Ford has no integrity!
The Sable has actually good body design. The 3.8L engine is surprisingly responsive. The problem is integrity. Experienced all the problems this model is well known for: blown engine gasket (replaced with a re-manufactured engine), airconditioner, radiator leak @ 33,000 miles (replaced), electrical malfunctions. Called Ford several times to ask for help, but Ford refused despite admitting having many calls and recalls. Many of the problems are well known. Maybe, Ford is having its problems now because it lacks sufficient accountability for its bad design.
Good Transportation
The Mercury Sable wagon has served us well. I needed a family car as well as a vehicle to haul things for my business and it has done both admirably. We bought the wagon used and have just made minor repairs. Better ride and handling than our Chrysler Minivan LE had.
