Currently the vehicle has 100,000 miles. Besides normal brakes, tires and oil changes, the only repair I had to make was a blower fan for $150.00. I looked at the Honda Accord & Toyota Camry - both of those cars have timing belts and 30,000 mile tune ups. I had a 100% chance of spending $600 for the timing belt and $300 for each tune up X 3 since I have 100,000 miles. That is a total of $1,500 in normal maintenance that I avoided with Ford's / Mercury's 100,000 mile tune up and a timing chain that lasts the life of the vehicle - serveral hundred thousand miles. Why do you think Consumer Reports does not bring this up? Ford delivers vehicle with the design to minimize maintenance costs!
Mercury builds a winner!

Bought an LS premium with the Duratec 24V V6. The engine makes a nice subdued growl at full throttle and pulls strongly at all speeds, right up to a governed 110 MPH. Handling is above average for a large sedan but the ride is much more forgiving than the Regal/Grand Prix/Impala from GM. Interior is functional, user-friendly and comfortable, if not the most attractive I've seen. The adjustable pedals are great for my 5' 2" wife and I can easily find a good position for my 6' 2" frame with plenty of head room. The Mach audio system has good sound and the 6-disc changer in the console is a nice touch. Heater/AC works great.

Bought this brand new car after I had a Ford Taurus 98 modell. Liked the Ford and Mercury Dealerships in our City. The promotion rebates in Summer 03 gave me the incentive to get another one from Ford after I checked out VWs (Passat, Jetta) and Volvos. Found them all to be too expensive and considered the Sable to be similar for a better price and even better value!
Great car with one fatal flaw

The 2003 Mercury Sable was my first car. I got an amazing deal on, $3700 for 60K miles. Everything about the car was great, it was comfortable, great engine, and it was very safe. The only repair i had to make was a small brake fluid leak, which wasn't a big deal. Until, one day i was driving down the road, and the car just broke down on me without warning. It was the transmission, which i knew because the car revved, but didn't go anywhere. I took it to a mechanic, and they told me that the transmission was completely destroyed. They said it was going to cost $5000 to replace (i scrapped it obviously, thats double the price of the car), because my car had a "limited edition" transmission. Keep in mind that this happened with 62K on the odometer. Be wary with these cars, because the trans is its achilles heal.
