$1,050
2002 Mercury Sable GS V6 (Vulcan)
Auto transmission
Remote start
Dark Shadow Gray over Gray Interior
Power windows/locks/mirrors/driver seat
Power adjustable pedals
149k miles
Tires only have about 15k miles on them
Oil changed every 5k miles
Just passed PA inspection. Good till 9/2015
Does currently have some issues. Trans slips, AC compressor needs to be replaced & looks like the PS rack needs to be replaced as pump is noisy & car is sometimes hard to steer. The front grille is held on with zip ties because the clips broke. Hood doesn't always stay closed due to an accident. The hood latch took the blow. I replaced the hood. The core support is cracked from this accident. Car runs and drives fine. I was driving it to work a lot before the PS stuff started last week.
Currently has an aftermarket head unit in. I will include that for an extra $100. Otherwise, I will re-install the factory unit.
The rear trunk trim, badges and center caps are Plasti-Dipped black. I peeled it off of the wheels and put another OE chrome front grille on.
Many new parts as listed below. I keep an excel sheet so I can provide entire maintenance history since I have owned it.
