The 1992 Mercury Sable: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1992 Mercury Sable for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1992 Mercury Sable, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 364 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The 3.0L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.
It is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $52.08 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the Sable
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 1,303 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Drive the Sable on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Sable on your commute, then decide. Rent the Sable first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
When you know your dates
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
