Used Mercury Sable for Sale near Indianapolis, IN

The 2002 Mercury Sable GS, for its size, has a quick launch, 27mpg highway, a little noisy, handles flat, awkward to get in (Im 62, 230lbs.), and the rearview mirror has GOT to relocate. Dead in the way. The backs of the back seats fold down for a 2 acre trunk, adjustable pedals for the height challenged, and the interior lighting is limited. If it didnt drive like a slot car, and cheap on gas, I wouldnt like it near as much.

This is my second Sable and overall I am impressed with how solid they are. The McPherson strut suspension gives it handling that most cars this heavy lack. It feels secure through corners and is very docile as you carve up the curves at insane speed. The 3.0L engine is a little underpowered for the car, not making any real speed until you pass 3000 rpm. The 3.8L motor feels strong, but still not quick. Both maintain speed well on the highway. The gear ratios in the transmission are definately designed for the highway driver. The best gas mileage is when you can get to speed and maintain a constant speed for a long time. On my 1995, I have four wheel antilock brakes and four wheel disc brakes. I upgraded my front brakes to the specifications of the V8 Taurus SHO (a simple rotor, caliper bracket, and brake pad swap; they use the same hubs and calipers) and this car has literally stopped from 40 mph in 20 feet or less. The interior is comfortable. Other than the radio controls next to the instrument cluster on the dash and the cardboard/velcro vanity mirrors, I have no complaints about the way the car is set up. This is the perfect car for long road trips; comfortable, efficent, and very forgiving of mistakes. I love it and I will buy another one after I drive the wheels off of this one.

I like that it has the 3rd row fold away seat i like that it holds 8 ppl i like that its good on gas and how clean it is the only thing i did not like was that the 6 disc cd chager was in the cargo area.

Compared to my previous car, this is a gem. Very spacious inside, with a lot of top-end goodies, like leather seating, 6-disc CD changer, power-adjustable pedals, automatic thermostat-style AC, nice alloy wheels, automatic headlights, and the best V6 offered for this model at the time. It is reasonably quick, but not sporty; however, it does handle well for a car of its size; much more confidence-inspiring through the twisties than my previous Saturn SL. Despite a somewhat anonymous appearance, I can't help but kind of like the appearance on the outside. The 2-tone dash is a nice touch on the inside. Cost of ownership has been reasonably low so far since I purchased it in April 2010.

just got this iron work horse, she needs quite a bit of body work, 161,000 miles and runs like it just came off the line, gonna be a lot of happy motoring years with this robust Vulcan, cant get any better than a 3.0 OHV
