Buy a foreign car - 2000 Mercury Sable
By met - June 6 - 10:40 amPurchased my Sable with about 75,000 miles in 04. Check engine light came on the first week I owned it. Had to replace the oxygen sensors. During the first year, the back spring broke and punctured the rear tire while I was driving. (They had a recall to put a guard on the tire because the front springs were having this problem, but no reimbursement for the back.) In the past few months, Ive replaced the alternator, entire engine and now the transmission is leaking fluid. My dad had to replace the engine in his Mercury Grand Marquis around the 140,000 mark as well. The back suspension has always been creaking - sounds like the back end is going to fall off when you have people in it.

Dont like it much, but its dependable - 2000 Mercury Sable
By THE LEWIS - January 21 - 10:00 amWe purchased the car because we had to get something larger with a second child on the way. With 2 kids now and 2 car seats, not enough room. Now, that were trying to trade it in Im finding we overpaid by way to much. The cars okay but not for the price. I wish I would have bought an SUV in the first place or a Honda, at least the payments Ive made would amount to something!!!!

Mecury Sable - 2000 Mercury Sable
By Ed Bowler - November 21 - 2:00 amThe Mercury Sable has exceeded my expectations in the areas of ride, engine performance and fuel economy. The ride under most conditions is very smooth and comfortable. The steering and handling are excellent. There no steering wheel feedback on rough roads. There no "torque" steering while under acceleration. The engine is quite under acceleration and little or no high revs noise during acceleration changes. The MPG on road trips at speeds of 65-70MPH is high 30s and around town mid 20s.

154,000 & going strong - 2000 Mercury Sable
By beancounter - September 25 - 12:33 amVery satisfied. Car runs (and looks) like the day I bought it with 16,000 miles. Engine is the std 6, so pinging comes std with that if you try to run reg gas. Performance is much better on 90+ octane, plus you eliminate the damage caused by the pinging and greatly extend eng life. The better fuel economy offsets the higher gas price. I bought the car w/ every intention of going 200,000 to 250,000 miles and I have no doubt it will do it. Very comfortable to drive. Seats are firm and supportive. And I can squeeze out 29 - 30 mpg on the hiway if I try hard. (The most I could get on 89 oct was 28.) I replaced the starter last summer. The rest has been routine maint and a few minor things.

Wish I hadnt bought it - 2000 Mercury Sable
By winterstar - August 11 - 2:00 amWe have owned the Sable for three years and it is constantly in the shop being worked on every month. It has had numerous problems with the Air Conditioner,that have never been fixed. Along with some very scary experiences with the brakes locking up. Not to mention the number of recalls as well. It was the worst car purchase we have ever made.

Sable - 2000 Mercury Sable
By Bernd Langer - August 7 - 4:13 pmThis vehicle has proved to be the quality one would expect from a new car purchase. I have had only one warranty item the car needed to be returned to the dealer for. The interior luxury and space for a taller person is wonderful. For years I have driven a cramped import or small economical car and this is a welcome change. If this car prove to be as reliable long term as my escort and Toyota corona and camry were then it was well worth. it.

Unexpectedly Amazing! - 2000 Mercury Sable
By mwj12487 - May 17 - 10:34 amTo begin, let me explain that I purchased this vehicle in haste, in August of 2011. My Sable had 102k on the clock, and had some exterior signs of a earlier collision, but the interior was clean, and the motor sounded well. I jumped in. After only about a week I realized how peppy the 3.0 V6 is. I was very much accustomed to the thriftiness of 4 cylinder cars, but when I began regularly driving the Sable I was not only impressed but satisfied. The ride is comfortable for all shapes and sizes of drivers. The reliability is better than that of a newer Audi I have previously owned. The gadgets are sparce and simple, but they are reliable as well and easy to use. Now at 139K- no problems.

Its Pretty Good...! - 2000 Mercury Sable
By RT - April 6 - 1:36 amHaving owned this car for 6+ years, we are very familiar with the breed. Its been quite a good car. Its very unassuming--but it serves its purpose: reliable transportation. The moon roof is a great feature as is the ventiliation (something that always stands out with Fords). Good buy at an exceptional price back in 00.

Better than a van - 2000 Mercury Sable
By Jackie Lindsay - February 22 - 10:00 amI have 2 boys just turning teenagers. This car will hold up to 7 people. It drives great and the gas milage for a car this size is great. The middle and back seat can be layed down. My husband loves it. He always wanted a small truck. I always wanted a luxury car and my kids wanted a van. Weve got everything all in one reasonably priced family car. The front of the Mercury is much more grand than the front of the Ford wagon. It also has anti-theft and cordless entry. I dont think the Ford does. We have had no mechanical problems at all. The car is also very easy to see out of from all angles. Backing is a breeze.
