Mercury Disabled (Sable)

2003 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Now I know why this car has the nickname Mercury 'disabled' I bought the car 4 months ago and it has been in the shop more than in my garage. The transmission went out 36 hours after I got it home (with 52k miles on it). Since that repair it has had a stuck pcv valve, an replace air intake cylinoid and now both front struts are bad. This 'good deal' - even w/ an extended warranty - has cost me another $1200 in repairs. I would never, ever buy it again.

Best Wagon Ever

Dependable, comfortable, spacious, holds everything an interior designer can buy, and keeps its looks even after many years of use. Love my Sable wagon. This is my second one and I’ll keep it till I’m convinced it can’t be fixed.

I just purchased a used 2003 Sable that is only six months old. This car was loaded with equipment, 15,000 miles, Ford Certified for 75,000 miles, price out the door $11,600 plus tax. It's a great car for the $$, I paid almost this much for a car twenty years ago without the safety equipment and bells and whistles this car has...

In terms of value for your money, no other car comes even close! The Mercury is a fun, safe, dependable and comfortable car to drive. This is my 4th Mercury and have never had any problems.

I got a LS Premium in Red with a gold Pinstripe that makes it look very attractive. I have the optional Duratec engine That is very powerful and is good for passing people on the highway. It also gets pretty good gas mileage. Rides very smooth and decently quiet inside. The leather is great and the seats are very supportive. Lots of trunk room too. Great for if you have three kids.
