The 1999 Mercury Sable for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1999 Mercury Sable; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 1999 Mercury Sable, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 258 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, steering 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.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 12.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 36 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $56.28 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 1,076 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Sable makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Sable first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Sable for a week and see how it fits your life.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.76 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 1999 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
