You may not like the Sable, that is your choice. One reason he
looked at the Sable was his wife drives a 2000 Sable company car.
The Sable has 10K more miles on than his 2000 Accord and had been
trouble free. His Accord on the other hand has an ongoing front
brake problem, and been out of service for several weeks because
of damage caused by a bad oil seal. That money he saved by
choosing the Sable will buy ALL of his fuel and pay much of his
insurance for the next three years.
