The 2008 Mercury Sable: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2008 Mercury Sable; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. 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 sets out the 2008 Mercury Sable for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Sable
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. 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 61 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.5L 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.
Rated at 10.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. That works out to about $16.59 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 595 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Sable suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 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.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Talk to a person
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
