Thinking of buying the 1992 Mercury Sable?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1992 Mercury Sable for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page helps you judge the 1992 Mercury Sable before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 364 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $173.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Sable
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 1,303 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sable answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Sable for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
