2004 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

Bought 2004 Sable GS with 24,000 miles for $9999 on 11/19/2004 from local Ford dealer. Rental fleet return. Wanted something quiet and comfortable, not disapointed. Bought extended warranty for $1500, covered to 5/75 miles. This car is an excellent value. Buy one a year old and save BIG on depreciation! You feel SAFE in this car, not a hint of a squeak or rattle. 155 HP is enough for me with 3.0 Vulcan engine.

Beautiful and practical station wagon

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

The medium red color and exterior look of this wagon elicit many second looks. It has been a very satisfactory car thus far. I have had no problems with the car. The large storage space in this relatively long wagon has been great for lugging purchases and for long trips. Eight foot lumber items are no problem with the rear door closed. All in all I am very satisfied.

Best Buy / Worst Sell

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

I have had my Sable LS for about 9 months. Traded a 2003 Aviator for better gas mileage. This car is the most comfortable car I have owned including the Aviator and 2003 Mercedes C-320. The seats have plenty room, a/c works extremely well even in New Orleans summer climate, mach sound system is very adequate. Performance with Duratec V-6 is very responsive. Gas mileage could be better, however, I am sure part of that goes along with different driving habits. Trunk space is very good. Style is good but lacks eye catching appeal, looks like many other mid size sedans. For the money you can't get a better car, however, if you want to sell it you will take a beating as resale is poor.

Sable beats Toyota & Honda

The Mercury Sable is a fine automobile and a well-kept secret by Ford Motor Company. They've built a terrific car that is SUPERIOR to Toyota and Honda rivals. The value of this car far exceeds the high purchase proce and high maintenance costs of the Japanese imports.

I am very pleased with the car. It has a great ride, seems solid ,and has good pick up. Why over pay for a Import.
