How much should it cost to replace the starter in my 2004 Mercury Sable? I did it with a friend about 3 years ago but this time I have to pay a shop. This is the third starter. Only 68,000 miles on the car.

You would have to shop around. Refurbished starters might run between $50 to $70. New ones $100 up. If you are having a mechanic do it, the repair cost for a 2 hour job might cost you $100 up. If you are to do it yourself, check with the internet. Complete easy installation instructions are availlable. Just type how to replace a starter on a 2004 Marcury Sable and print them out. Hope this serves you well and good luck with your project.

Depending on the cost of the part, the labor rate of the shop, and the area of the world you live in you could expect $250 to $450 dollars.

1996 MERCURY SABLE 65,000 MILES ON SPEEDO. TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP ALSO RUST UNDER VEHICLE. LINCOLN MERCURY STATED REPAIR WOULD COST 4 TO 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUNK THE VEHICLE

Transmission problems are an issue with Sables. If you Google transmission and Mercury Sable you will come to quite a few complaints. There are actually a few posts on this website where folks are having issue too. Personally a cheap o-ring in my 1999 Sable went out resulting in a $1800 transmission repair bill. I literally gave the car away about three years ago. In almost 20 years of owning vehicles the two years I had the Sable was the most expensive and busiest in the way of repairs.
