1993 Mercury Sable Wagon review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Owning this car has been a very expensive proposition. My brother gave it to us, and taking it was a mistake. He had the transmission replaced at 50,000 miles. We have put many dollars in to it, and every repair is more than we expect because of the poor design.
Recently, and this was the second repair over $500. this year, the water pump went again.
At 95,000 miles we had to put a new engine in it.
I hope you benefit from my hind sight.
