Buyer beware 2003 Sable will cost you money

2003 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
6 of 9 people found this review helpful

The car seemed to to be a good but when you compair all the known specs at the time of purchase but after a few years look out! This car model is no worse than the support from Ford Motor who just does not care in my opinion. I bought the extended warranty so I have had some protection. When you look at what other's have had to repair you will see a pattern. First the A/C goes up after about 2-3 years. Then the door seals leak they needed to be replaced. The car does not burn E85 fuel as listed by Ford. Runs rough and chokes on mixed fuel. The list goes on but now after just 41,500 miles I need spark plug wires.

Great car. This is my first Mercury and by far the best car I have ever driven in 45 years.

Just good transportation

The Sable is still a comfortable and reliable sedan, with all the creature comforts in the LS. It's fine to tote around customers and the boss. If you crack it up or it's stolen (Boston driving), you just go grab another one. For the money, it's a good value.

Great family car buy

If you are looking for a roomy, reliable family car - this is the one. I test drove the Accord, great car but seems it had shrunk over the previous years models in driver's room - the adjustable pedals on the LS premium and power adjustable driver seat make for a great ride. I test drove other midsize cars such as Camry and GrandAm and Dodge Intrepid, but found that the Mercury offered more bang for the buck. Sunroof, adj. pedals, leather interior, side impact beams all came with the LS premium packaged for much less than the other vehicles driven.

Mercury has a HOME run with this car. If our experience is anything like our last Sable 140,000 with NOTHING but regular maint. This Sable has more features and cost less than the 97. Camry, Accord, what are you nuts.
