Replying to: bremertong (Jun 06, 2006 8:50 pm) I don't want to sound stupid(which obviously I am), but I just bought a 2005 Sable LS and can not find the 6 disc cd changer. The owners manual says it's in the trunk or in the console, but I don't know where to look, and have never had a changer, so don't really know what I'm looking for. Can anyone tell me where it is??? e-mail response to lcoatswoh.rr.com Replies to this message: jasmith52 (Apr 05, 2007 6:23 am) savetheland (Apr 06, 2007 4:26 pm)

Replying to: lcoats (Apr 04, 2007 5:39 pm) I just looked in my 2003 Mercury Sable brocure. For the 2003 model year the CD-changer was an option. It wasn't standard equipment for the 03's.   So it just may be that your car (an 05') does not have the CD changer option.

Replying to: lcoats (Apr 04, 2007 5:39 pm) It should be in drivers armrest. Open armrest and you will see black unit, it will have sliding door on top. Slide the door and push "Eject" button.
#3331 of 3374 seeking advice on purchase of 2001, 85000 miles by whitall Apr 07, 2007 (9:28 am)
(I also posted this on the maintenance and repair board)   Looking seriously at a used 2001 SEL Taurus with 85000 miles. It is in decent shape, no dents, just a few dings and interior scrapes. Seems well maintained, though it clunks over some bumps. The owner says it is the sway bar (or did he say stabilizer) bushings. He says new brakes and tires less than 10,000 miles ago. Oil is clean. He is willing to have the bushings done, but I am afraid how that will interfere with negotiations. Will he think I would then pay full asking price? Couldn't tell how the a/c is, as it is abnormally cold here in the NOrtheast.    Do Tauruses have a reputation for bad a/c units (like dodge/chrysler)? How about Trannys? I can't have an inspection because his wife died, so he didn't renew the plates, and is reluctant to let it on the main roads where we could be stoppped. (I believe his story-he is rather old).    Edmunds price for average is 4400 and clean is 5300. He is asking 6500, which is dealer retail for clean. The kelly blue book ranges from 5400 for fair to 6245 for good to 6785 for excellent. THose numbers seem high. Thinking of offering 5,000 (is that insulting to him?) and settling around 5300. Don't know how the bushings will figure into that. Any advice on the reliabilty and price for this car? It seems high to spend to me for the mileage. This is for a 17 year old.

Replying to: whitall (Apr 07, 2007 9:28 am) You need to have it checked out even if you have to tow it or have a mobile tech look at it at his house.   If that can't happen, just buy something else.

Replying to: whitall (Apr 07, 2007 9:28 am) I hope you take heed of the advice offered by others. That car is overpriced. The old man may act need to sell it but if he truly needs to sell, he would price it realistically. Keep looking...the kid wants it NOW but it's your money.
#3334 of 3374 Saw 2008 Taurus recently by exalteddragon1 Apr 12, 2007 (12:38 pm)
I like the front allot, better than in the pictures, but the example I saw has overtly chromed rear lights, even more so than the fusion. Now, on the fusion they look nice, but the job they did on the 2008 is a bit much.   THe rest of the car look really good, BTW, but I hope this design does not turn off the people who would be most interested in this car.   What do you think?
