1997 Mercury Sable LX Wagon review from North America
"Great Car, Lots of power, great ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only major repair the car has needed is some transmission repair at 45000 miles. I thankfully have an extended warranty (Warranty Direct has been great) and they paid for this.
The pressurised cylinder holding open the trunk door broke off and needed replacement.
The dome light came on just now and I have been trying to get this fixed.. without spending $$... (this is how I came to know of this forum for reviews... thanks for the WD40 tip... am waiting to try it when my wife comes back with the car).
General comments?
This car has been lightly used... has just 70K on it... and it runs like a charm. We plan to keep it till this breaks down... hopefully it will last a long time.
Why am I unsure I would buy the car again? Because my other car now is a Toyota Camry... boy is that a boring car... nothing ever seems to happen! I like it that way as there are other sources I turn to for excitement in my life!
