So Far So Good - Part III

Nearly 12,000 miles and still rolling along! Not much new to report with my Merc, save for what I think will be usual (and on-going) praise and dismay. To the former; a spacious and comfortable interior, smooth ride (whether city or highway), and myriad amenities for the buck. To counter; (relatively) poor gas mileage (no more than 21 mpg overall), a dysfunctional starter "repaired" now twice in 11 months, and a generally unrefined feel throughout (poor interior fittings, rough idlying/revvving motor, random creaks, etc). Sables are no longer constructed as new, yet still abundant as wholly reasonable "pre-owned" buys. Despite stated shortcomings do I recommend the ol' Merc? You bet!

Reliability over Cool

2004 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

First, I love long roofs. I have owned six and still have two a 2006 Volvo station wagon and three years ago I bought this 2004 Mercury Sable LS Premium 5 door station wagon. It was 16 years old when I got it with 60,000 miles, now at 89,000 miles. Now at nearly 20 years old I have replaced the battery and completed synthetic oil changes every 3k and no engine problems whatsoever. It easily has the get up and go when called upon.The leather seats are still mint just like the entire interior. Great tinted windows.The radio sounds good and it is a pleasure to drive, very comfortable.The electric windows work great, AC blows cold and heat blows warm. It has plenty of room for travel. It may not be the coolest looking car rolling down the road but it always starts and always goes.

My wife had a '94 Sable and loved it, so we purchased a new '04 equipped with all the toys... and she really does love this one, too! PRICE is what first attracted us to this car - reasonable sticker prices, huge rebates and dealer incentives = a lot of car for a lot less than most.

Mercurys are Mistakes

I bought a 2004 Mercury Sable, I like the look of the car I like the size of the car I like the interior, but I have had some hugh problems. First it started with my Starter needing to be replaced ar 30,000 miles, then my battery kept dying, I have to date changed the battery three times and the dealership cannot figure out what is draining my battery, but the dealership is taking the easy way out and saying things to me like, "You must have left your lights on," not once have I left my lights on or a door open? Now the car has 37,000 miles and the transmission needs to be replaced. I will never buy an American car again.
