1992 Mercury Sable Review
Price Estimate: $2,444 - $3,817
Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Sable gets dual airbags for front seat occupants. New sheetmetal does little to change the looks of the car. Fifteen-inch wheels replace last year's 14-inchers. Additional radio controls have been placed near the steering wheel and the power window buttons have been moved to the armrest. Variable-assist power steering becomes standard and the heated windshield is dropped from the options list.

1992 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan
My dad bought this car for my mom when she was pregnant with me. This was 17 years ago, in Anchorage Alaska. The car spent 14 years in Alaska brutal weather. Now here in Georgia, I drive this car, as a teen I'm hard on it. The interior is still awesome, very comfortable. The exterior paint is still glossy and smooth. This car has never stopped working. I just took it in to the shop and … had some maintenance (age and weather took its tool on the tranny gaskets and the spark plug wires and stuff) and the car showed no signs of stopping before the job was done. Now that the stuff is replaced, I can expect another 3-5 years out of it. Awesome car. Well built. Never fails. It's safe feeling as well
good value

1992 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan
Very pleased with this car's
performance. Has 176K on it. Got my
money's worth!! Engine and
transmission still running.
Transmission shifts poorly between 2nd
and 3rd. Mainly have to replace rear
shocks every 50K, pads/brakes (easy to
change), Water pump failed at 125K,
overheated car and had to remachine
heads/ head gasket. Body starting to
accelerate rust … spots. Can't kill this
car. Going for 200K. Would buy
another one without much problem except
not too excited about aethetic design
change in '94-98.
I hate my car

1992 Mercury Sable LS 4dr Sedan
when I initially bought the vehicle I
was skeptical. Not because of anything
I heard but because it was a grandpa-
mobile. 3 transmissions, a full set of
struts, new front wheel bearings, a
head gasket, water pump, an oil pan and
$3000 later it is a wonderful car.
