Thinking of buying the 2004 Mercury Sable?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2004 Mercury Sable for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2004 Mercury Sable, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 12.0 L/100 km combined, so budget about 36 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $55.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,417 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who rents the Sable

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Space, size and seats

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 1,104 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Sable answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $186 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Ready when you are

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2004 Mercury Sable from us first.
