The 2000 Mercury Sable for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Mercury Sable for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 2000 Mercury Sable before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The figures, translated
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, 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.
Combined fuel use is 12.0 L/100 km: about 36 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $18.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 1,104 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Sable makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sable answers the big questions. Drive the Sable on your commute before you commit to it. If the Sable is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
