2005 Mercury Sable LS 24V DOHC Start Up

[inkey2]

I just got a 2005 wagon and I LOVE IT......it's loaded, leather seats etc. Probably the nicest car I've ever owned

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

My next 4th gen sable will be a 03-05. I had a 01 GS i had since my junior year of highschool and hurricane irene flooded her she had 183,445 miles i got the car as a gift in 08 with 102,001 miles on it i loved it. It had the console shift theres a video of it on my page. Jasper can rebuild or i atleast think purchase a new AX4N or S from them brand new with improved parts for about $3,000.

I find it kind of lazy the dashboard font is the same as my '04 Taurus.

[420FlyByNight]

I used to have a beautiful silvery-green 01 Sable LS Premium. Honestly it was the best car Ive owned. These drive nice and theyre good on the wallet. Nice vid :)

Ford Tarus >> Mercury Sable >> Lincoln Continental

I have a 2005 Mercury Sable GS and I had a reading of 300 miles till Empty when I filled up and I got mine used in 2005 with about 23,000 miles and just hit over 83,000 miles this year. Did you know that the 2005 was the last year body style for the 2005 Mercury Sable

[peopleareknowitalls]

they are nice. mine is an 04 with 150,000 miles and mostly highway getting 28 mpg with 24v. tranny is less jerky than the vulcan i had before.

[metalmaniac622]

I miss my 05 Sable GS :(

[blondemax]

am I right in thinking this is the equivilent of our 90's Mondeo or was it bigger?

[RJSVD]

Exact same dash as my Taurus, same engine too.

[BMWxM3xGTR]

Thats because the Taurus and Sable are pretty much the same exact car. Cant find a part for a Taurus...check for Sable parts.

[metalmaniac622]

the thing I like about the GS over the LS is that the GS has the Column shifter. The thing that would make me nervous about a center console shifter is some drunk idiot fooling around and slamming the lever in to Park or Reverse while driving

[owensri2]

Just for refrence, you can get an LS with the column shifter. I saw an exact model like mine, only it had the column shifter. I prefer the console though. The column one is very outdated.

[form109]

@owensri2 yeah it does look somewhat outdated with a Coloumn Shifter......but it does leave alot of space between the seats.

[RifleMan80]

For some reason, though not a Sable fan, i seem to like the 2000-2003 Models better. Though the 04-06 models have the electronic addons, and the nicer interior, the early 2000 models have that exterior look. But anyways. nice car. she looks clean and I bet she runs like a dream.

[metalmaniac622]

you have a half tank with 127 miles to empty? I have a 2005 Mecury Sable too and on a half tank i have 200 miles

[owensri2]

I don't know why it was so low...but as of today...I have a half tank right now...and it says 221 miles to empty. Just depends on what kind of driving...and how you drive. I'm getting 23.4 AVE MPG right now...so that's probably why... :D

[RJSVD]

Initial measurements can be wrong, depending on temperature or your average mpg on last trip.

[guitarplayrmikeo]

nice car! I have a 2000 mercury sable ls premium. it's ok for a first car, but it's pretty beat up. the transmission slips and it has 117,500 miles.

[Computist40]

is that an expensive car now?

[ddksiels]

now they have 263 hp

[orange70383]

These are the best looking years for the Sable. They are a great value to buy used.  You can always find ones out there with low miles and never driven hard.

[owensri2]

I agree. And the A/C is ICE COLD! Probably the coldest I've ever felt in any car.

[XxlargemanxX]

@owensri2 I have a 96 mercury sable and i swear the ac will give you frostbite haha

[jmurray01]

gotta love those double over head cam engines.

[storrs19]

I have a 2003 Taurus with the 24V DOHC V6. Quite a lot of power for a V6 and not bad mileage (20 mpg) considering I do almost all town driving. These cars are heavier than a lot of people realize. Why Ford ever quit making these is beyond me.  Their best seller and they go and stop making it.

[owensri2]

I know, weird eh? I like the Fusion just as good, if not better. The SYNC and the Traction Control/ESC would be something that I'd definately have to have.

[focusonthegreen]

The 2010's are saweeet! SHO even...nice.

[jojocats2]

Beautiful car. I like this generation.

[SteelCity1981]

To bad 2009 is the last year for the Sable production again*. I don't think Ford is going to bring it back this time around, because the Mercury lineup is slowly getting phased out. But that 2010 Ford Taurus looks sharp as hell. Not to mention the finally awaited return of the Taurus SHO which will make its debuted soon after the the 2010 Taurus goes on sale late this summer.

[280zx2by2]

my mom has the same car i think ill make a vid too :P

[arkema101]

I'd like to see a video of you taking this car to Mia's car wash on Fort St. That'd be cool!!! Nice wheels!

[Snoopynave52]

CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR

[owensri2]

Huh? There was no door open...

[Snoopynave52]

Ohhh. I thought the chime was from the door, not from the normal startup

[owensri2]

I should of put my seatbelt on. That way, It would of only chimed 6 times instead of 12.  :)

[Snoopynave52]

Haha. True true

[custommadename]

The Sable isn't a bad car at all, but I'd much rather have a GM. I have three GM cars, and my parents have 2 Ford cars. On my parents' Sable, I have to take off the upper intake manifold to change the spark plugs. Is it the same with your car, or do you have a lower profile UIM?

[owensri2]

Yes, I have the Duratec, the one you have to remove the upper intake manifold to change the spark plugs...

[dustinwaller87]

i got a duractec taurus.. and i dont have to take off the upper intake.. i just crawl under the car and u can get them

[pokeeto2]

Intrepid sucks.

Go to a dealer or an auction. Intrepids are worthless & have terrible resale value. Dealers still pay good money for a Loaded Taurus or Sable

Tis Duratec may be smaller, but they're awesome engines

[TKOxPITCHBlAk]

The Dodge Intrepid is the same class and the 3.5 DOHC 24 on that would smoke this sable.

[owensri2]

Dodge sucks! Those Intrepids were nothing but problems. They seem to have been made with nuts and bolts. Check the consumer reviews on Edmunds and you'll see all the complaints. Then check the consumer reviews for the 2005 Sable on Edmunds and you'll see the difference right away...

[mastazuki91]

Plus the Intrepid was a full size car and compared with the V8 Crown Vic Sport it stands no chance and dont even talk bout the Merc Maruder-spelling?- TKOxPITCHBlAk u my friend are a tool.

[Muscleman361]

BEAUTIFUL

[owensri2]

Thanks!

[Muscleman361]

id love to see more of it

[owensri2]

I'll have a tour video up soon of the car inside and out...

[Protoking]

Nice price.

[Protoking]

lol I forgot to mention that the 2005 V6 Mustang only had 210 Horse power and they probably weigh more, race away! lulz.

[Jaydeeman20]

Gotta love those duratecs!
