Mercury Sable- A very good American car

I think the Sable is one of the most underrated vehicles on the road today. I have test driven the new Camry and while I liked it, I much prefer the Sable for overall performance, interior style, and even the exterior styling in spite of being somewhat dated. It is still a very attractive car. This is our 5th. Sable, after a four year hiatus with two Lincoln Continentals. Believe me, there is no $20,000 difference in these cars, which is the variance in the sticker price of the two vehicles. I really wonder why all the Auto Rags talk up the 'rice burners' and down-play the American iron. Buy American.
Buyer beware 2003 Sable will cost you money

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.

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.
FOR THE MONEY

THE AUTOMOBILE I RECIEVED ( IN BLACK, WITH CHROME WHEELS )WAS PERFECT. EVERYTHING ON IT WORKED. THE ONLY THING I WISH FORD SHOULD HAVE DONE, WAS TO PUT DICS ON THE REAR WHEELS. ENOUGH HOSEPOWER TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B.

I bought this car about 5 years ago (2018-2017) (haven't read the title in a while) from a little old man in the neighborhood. It had about 45,000 miles on it and the paint was peeling already! NADA book value for the car in great condition was only $1100 at the time bc it was already 14 years old! What a steal I thought. Old man said just give me $600 for it! Now the bad news. Looked good upon first glance but the paint was going. The rust wasn't bad immediately but after a couple of rainstorms it developed Ford rust around the wheel wells. Then came all the repairs - that I can remember: Front Springs Upper & Lower Tie Rods (twice) Shocks (twice) breaks (regular maintenance) Water pump Blower motor Wiring harness from Alternator to Fuse box Fuel pump & Fuel filter (twice) New or Rebuilt radiator almost all the radiator/cooling hoses rotted out AC Condensor/Compressor the Alternator (still had the original) Sunroof works but I'm afraid to open as a plastic track piece broke so I leave it closed Wiper blades (regular maintenance) headlight on car suck Driver side door handle sticks so I gotta push it back manually so the door closes. What else? I know I'm missing some things.... Driver's leather seat ripped in the middle - completely ripped through from usage. What's good - it's really amazing - I got 200,000 miles on an American car!! That's amazing. I still drive it - this weekend I'm getting a hand-me-down from family member ... NEVER AGAIN! Even my mechanic told me: "I told you to get a Honda or Toyota!"
