My 2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium
I have had this car 1 month shy of 3 years. It has 25,000 miles on it. I really like the car. The interior, paint, & 24 valve V6 are all great. Like others have stated on the 2000 Sable there have been too many recalls of which most were not necessary (in my opinion). My car also has a very slight oil leak and a rear window/trunk leak which 2 different dealers can not fix. They are annoying little problems that should have been fixed. Ford needs to get there designs tested before sending them out to the consumer. There "Quality is Job 1" is a joke. The little problems that I have had and the number of recalls should have been caught.
Old snooze still works ok
The brakes and transmission will more than likely fail, especially the brakes many times over 20 years. The transmission at least once. The engine is stout but after 20 years, hard to find parts. Mine needs exhaust headers. The cost of ownership over time will be high but on the upside, you will get many miles out of it. It is a true wagon so I will keep it for nostalgia.

Fun To Drive When It's Not In For Repair
This is my final Ford "Fix or Repair Daily" product. I am so tired of bringing the car in for various recalls and other problems (in fact, I need to call the dealer tomorrow to find out why my car is now leaking transmission fluid). Time in the shop is compounded by an inept dealer repair shop. Problems are not fixed right the first time. When it's not in the shop, the car is actually very pleasant to drive - great pickup and very smooth even at high speeds. However, it's just not worth the effort anymore. We also own a Hyundai Santa Fe, which has had zero problems, and has a better warranty.
2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium
Overall, this is an excellent car for the money. In over 65,000 miles of driving I have had no repairs whatsoever. It's a comfortable car to drive and handles well in all weather. I've been particularly impressed with the Continental Touring Contact all- season tires. A couple of minor gripes; the lack of a standard CD player is anoying. There are some blind spots with the large A and B pillars that take some getting used to. The overall ride could be a little firmer, and Ford needs to do something about the mushy transmission shift points; it hates to downshift inless you prod it with the gas. The 3 liter V6 is one of the best powerplants on the road today.
Sable Review
I have been very impressed with my Sable. Although there have been a couple of recalls, the car has exceeded my expectations. I have over 75k miles with the original tires and brakes. The only problem I had was to replace an idle sensor. The car runs as good today as the day I bought it
