Second Sable written 10-16-07 is identical to my own experience. Traded my 1986 for the 3 year old 1996. Love the Smoked Amethyst paint (but can't spell it?) but disappointed with the decontenting from 1986 model. No problems whatsoever, but I know a lot about treating and driving cars to insure long life. Also have a 1966 Corvette and 1975 Toyota - both bought new. The Sable is an excellent airport pickup car with six belted seating positions and huge trunk. Invisible to state troopers and thieves/vandals alike.

I have been vey careful to always service this vechicle with good maintance. I believe due to my care it has rewared me with great service. I will hate to part with it because it is so great looking and the paint still looks brand new. I am now approaching 100,000 miles and am not sure quite what to expect in the future.

I love my car.. Has been very strong and reliable. Have only ever had 1 problem and that was a sensor in the trans... Normal maintance stuff, but runs strong and performs well..
