Yes, it does throw a CEL - Cam Position Sensor. Other than that it would need a passanger mirror to pass inspection AFAIK. ---

_BUMP_ Still for sale. FuzzyFish has looked her over, so if anyone is looking for an opinion of how it is shoot him a PM :tup: Tranny downshift problem was due to low fluid :ham: I must not have read it correct. The brake light would come on sometimes as well, but we solved that with a little fluid. (again :ham: ) ---

so this leaks brake fluid and tranny fluid? if so how bad. also since it is march i am taking that it still has to get inspected right? how much of a pain is it to get to the cam sensor on this thing? how well was it on gas? it has to make it from rochester to buffalo at least three times a week. ---

I checked it over, there was no signs of tranny fluid leakage. Was just improperly filled when it was put it. It run and drives just like it should something felt a bit loose up front, but it’s most likely something not bolted down to spec after the tranny change, very easy fix. I drove this car for a good 25 minutes. So it definatly had a chance to warm up. Brake fluid should be flushed and re-bled as it looks old, but again no visable signs of leakage when I looked it over car stops prefectly straight. At $500 this car is a friggen steal. Obviously there will be minor issues here and there. But as far as mechanical condition goes it’s very solid. ---

It’s like a bushing or something that needs to be re-torqed. You only hear it when you go over lotsa bumps. ---

I will buy it in payments, $100/wk… I just got back into a job, not enough money in the acct. to justify a $500 decrease. You keep the car till I pay you all the dough (~4 weeks) That is if you are desprate to get rid of it [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-97-mercury-sable-500/9739.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-97-mercury-sable-500/9739.md?page=3)
