Used 2000 Mercury Sable Sedan Consumer Reviews
Get the duratec
I bought this used for $3600 and it was a great buy. It had 102,000 miles and thankfully it was the LS premium and it had the duratec v6. And the reason i'm so thankful for this engine is because the vulcan that comes with the other trims is ancient and inefficient! whereas the duratec is hearty smooth.

This car is so much fun to drive. The seats are comfortable, the size is just right, and the engine is so responsive.

Excellent performer w/ style
I got my LS my fr yr at school, and it was by far the best choice for the money (8000). With a few $ spent, this car outshines many others. A great handling car, esp 4 a sedan--(my car before this was a Mustang) My Sable does not have the 24V V6, but the regular 3.0 Vulcan is not too shabby. Best places to spend money on this car: I put in brighter headlt bulbs ($20), improved ceramic front pads w/ better rotors ($150), synthethic fluids ($50), removed air intake silencer & add K&N filter ($45), installed better fog lamps ($50), & put on better tires ($400)--w/these simple adds, the car is fun to drive & great on gas (28 mpg!). Only problem w/ mine is a stubborn driver door in cold weather.
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
154,000 & going strong
Very satisfied. Car runs (and looks) like the day I bought it with 16,000 miles. Engine is the std 6, so pinging comes std with that if you try to run reg gas. Performance is much better on 90+ octane, plus you eliminate the damage caused by the pinging and greatly extend eng life. The better fuel economy offsets the higher gas price. I bought the car w/ every intention of going 200,000 to 250,000 miles and I have no doubt it will do it. Very comfortable to drive. Seats are firm and supportive. And I can squeeze out 29 - 30 mpg on the hiway if I try hard. (The most I could get on 89 oct was 28.) I replaced the starter last summer. The rest has been routine maint and a few minor things.
