Versatility: -Cleans up nice- a respectable looking vehicle with good bones and great lines, feels current- As far as the upgrade possibilities- the customizations I've seen online are sharp and slick! This car can accept a Duratec DOHC V6 or V8 SHO Engine- now seen on ebay for Cheap! Some guy fitted his Sable with a 32 Valve V8 SHO Taurus Engine It can be a good project sled to upgrade and customize- I've sourced and priced parts for this car from various parts vendors, and, for example, a used or rebuilt V4, V6 or V8 engine can be had for not as much as you'd think (if that's ever needed) But it's also a good Family car that Seats Five, is Safe, and has Practical Features- It has Austere Good Looks, Subtly Sophisticated in Black and has Room for your Life
History: -This Beautiful Sable has been garaged at night it's entire life, save for vacations and whatnot The Interior of the car is Excellent. This was my Mom's car and she babied it I've only had it since 2010, and the owner before her only put 16,000 on it Regular maintenance has always been done, and we've kept all of the service records I keep oiling and washing it and giving it love, but it's really not in use It's only been sitting in my garage for several months. My Mechanic has told me the seals need to be replaced to get compression back. Repairs as follows can be made at intervals, to get the car up and running immediately. The main issue is to replace the seals and keep the Engine from sputtering.
The Bad (your bargaining chips): Known Issues: 1. -Two bits of Rust (One at the Trunk, near the chrome trim, and one at the crest of the wheel well on the driver's side rear wheel) 2. -Needs a General Electronic Module (GEM - part around $100-250, Labor ? -and, according to the instructions, pretty easy) The GEM controls the Stereo AM/FM Radio/CD Player, Clock, Speedometer and Odometer, which are currently not working because of it- I have stopped driving it for this reason (regarding odometer reading- the GEM will reveal true Mileage) - but the instruments technically work- it's simply the GEM that needs to be replaced* 3. -Cruise Control not engaging* 4. -One Rear Window not opening* Rear Window Motor or some other issue may exist (unknown) The rest of the windows work fine *(*asterik indicates these may be GEM issues, and might be restored after GEM is functioning –{unknown}) 5. -Down the road, the front Brakes may need updating, and the drums are ugly, but functioning 6. -The compression is bad, needs Seals replaced, but it seems the engine is otherwise o.k., low miles
7. -Keep in mind this car isn't running right now, I've detached the battery! -------> Arrange for Towing to your home or garage, OR maybe I can give you a free one way tow with my Auto Club to within 50 miles of the 91205 Zip Code. - The insurance is still current and will be until the completion of sale. This is NOT a DMV Non-Operational, and has not been registered as such, as of
yet. The tags are good until April 2014. This is a functional vehicle that needs someone to invest a little green for a lot of car in return.
Let's Deal!
This has been an exceptional car We love the Sable, and All Ford Family Cars (we have another Ford), It’s just that we can get by without a second car It's a luxurious vehicle with a smooth, quiet ride and decent gas mileage, especially on the highway It's a solid piece of American Steel and is safe and practical It cleans up nice and has a nice get up and go on the freeway It's in the garage and will remain there until the right buyer comes along We're not desperate to sell, but we are open to offers, but no low-ballers, please Make a reasonable offer and we'll let it go for the right buyer

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2
Mon, Jun 5 2023Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.
