Clean And Reliable 2005 Mercury Sable Ls Sedan 4-door 3.0l Needs Transmission on 2040-cars
Exton, Pennsylvania, United States
This was my daily driver up until a week ago when the transmission began to act up. We have been on the market for an SUV so it gave me the excuse to go shop!
Car was purchased from my boss back in 2008 who is a professional mechanic/detailer. He insured it as part of his company 'fleet', but It was his wife's car, had 48,000 miles when I bought it. As a company vehicle however it was fully inspected before being sold and checked out. Since then has had yearly I inspections and has been kept up mechanically very well. Interior was also kept up very well. As I mentioned I work for a professional detailer so it got cleaned very often! Previous owner was a Light smoker so there are some marks in the upholstery however there is no trace of smell in the car as it has not been smoked in since 2008 and was professionally cleaned. It's a great, comfortable car to drive. As I said only reason for selling is the transmission issue. The car still drives relatively well at this point, however shifts hard at higher speeds and does not go in reverse or drive in first gear. The transmission will hold the car in place on a hill in reverse but will not actually power it backwards. It acts up for a little while before the information center begins to read check transmission. At the same time as the transmission issue the ABS and traction control lights kicked on, I assume that is related but I do not know. Besides that, everything works with the exception of the windshield wash which needs nothing more than the hose replaced. It separated and at the moment is washing the engine instead of the windshield! The outside is in decent shape as well. Only things to note are a blemished back bumper from backing into a cart keeper in a parking lot (is not cracked, the paint just began to chip after the impact), a chip out of the driver tail light but light is not fogged up at all and a decent scratch in the front hood from when one of the kids, god love them, tried to shovel the snow off my car >.< I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Email me with any questions or if you would like to set up a time to view the vehicle. As I said it does drive, but I do not know how much longer it will. You may certainly try to drive it home and have it towed from where it stops, or tow it the entire way. If your lucky maybe it'll make it the whole way! |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles
Sun, Jul 9 2023When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.
