Replaced a Member of Our Ford Family

Moms 98 Taurus lost the tranny. Been a good car to us really. Got 10 years and ~140,000 miles. So naturally when we started looking to replace it we went with Ford. Finally decided on a 2008 Mercury Sable Premier.

Nope, a Taurus. Milan is the Fusion sister.

Nice car indeed. We have a 2006 Five Hundred SEL AWD which is the "twin" to the Mercury. We love it !! Good luck with your Moms new ride.

I'd heard certain parts are expensive as they are Volvo based. That's the only thing people have to say bad about these.

We test drove one of those but it rode like a 2-door sports car, real stiff I thought.

Thanks for the heads up BLUE, I know the AWD and CVT are volvo.
