1997 Mercury Sable LS review from North America
"Ford/Mercury's are built to last"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heating coiles at 90,000 (really cheap to do)
Seats starting to wear, but nice with covers.
And minor oil leak at 140,000.
Overall since I have had it new in 1997 its only had one engine problem at 90,000 otherwise that it. Amazing.
General comments?
Overall the car is amazing. I don't think I will ever have a car that will please me better then this one. Its at 154000 miles now and still amazing is quite and you don't feel any vibrations. Under the hood is clean and it looks to make it well over 200000 miles before any problems. And also the transmission is still like new. Amazing car do buy if you have the chance.
