Overview & Reviews
A mild facelift and fewer options are the only change to Mercury's midsize sedan.
- A fine American car with nice ride characteristics and a great interior.
- This is an ugly car. New competition from Honda, Toyota, and Oldsmobile make it a tough sell.

Was Good, Then A Moneypit - 1998 Mercury Sable
By londonlad1 - December 6 - 12:06 amA horrible aberration. Previous Fords, even oldies have been rock solid. I paid $2300 for this, 1 owner, full history 73k on the clock. Was great for a year, then it started to mug me on a regular basis for repair money. $1200 (steering rack), $300 (water pump) $170 (serpentine belt & tensioner) $600 (2 wheel bearings) $500 (front calipers & pads) $100 (EGR valve and perished vacuum hoses - did that myself) $300 (removal of throttle body & cleaning clogged air intakes, $1200 (aircon evaporator) $1200 (aircon compressor) and $100 (headlamps, did those myself) What was a bargain has cost me a fortune. Next time, Ill buy an old Jag. At least Ill go broke in style.
