Re: Sable pictures Reply #3 – August 18, 2005, 08:45:40 PM Now, let's not hate on the original Sables...I mean, the more I see new Mercs (i.e. Fords with fake Aluminum trim) the more I miss how uniquely elegant the 86-95 Sables were. :)Cool car, hope you keep it out of the junkyard. Quote Selected

Re: Sable pictures Reply #6 – August 19, 2005, 09:44:31 PM You must have been lucky then. My taurus only made it to 120K, heater core went out followed by many other problems. Domino effect. I know two other people that had the same problems, only theirs were automatic and ate through transmissions like crazy. Of course these were all 86's. Maybe they learned a thing or two in the following years Quote Selected

Re: Sable pictures Reply #10 – August 21, 2005, 06:50:45 AM The Taurus in my book is one of the best "family" cars built by Ford. Over the last few years, the "best car" I've owned (next to the Cougar of course) was an '87 Taurus! That dang car would not die! I'm actually laughing out loud right now becuase I put that poor car through h-e-l-l. My g/f also will own nothing else... she has a '92 that she wouldn't trade for anything! Quote Selected
