Offered is a 2002 Mercury Sable LS Premium, 3.0L V6.  This Mercury has 105,520 miles and is being sold, as is with NO RESERVE so we do not have to re-list.  This Mercury is being auctioned by the Woodridge Illinois Police Department.  The history of this vehicle is unknown as it was seized in a traffic-stop arrest that occurred on April 10^th, 2013.  Following the arrest this Mercury was stored in a warehouse until it was awarded to the Woodridge Police by court order on October 10^th, 2013 and we hold clear title.

We will attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of our ability and you may inspect the vehicle, in person, by appointment.

The body has dents, scratches, scuff marks and rust.  The passenger side mirror is broken off and the rear bumper is loose.  The key does not unlock the driver’s door; the key fob does unlock and lock the doors though.  See photos. 

The interior is dirty, smells of smoke and shows ware.  See photos.    

During a brief test drive, the Mercury had to be jumpstarted and then stayed running.  There is fluid on the top and bottom of the engine.  The air conditioner blows cold.  The Mercury accelerated as expected but may need brakes and steering work. It is suggested that the buyer have this Mercury inspected/serviced by a qualified mechanic before use.  See photos.   

The NADA listed value for this 2002 Mercury Sable 4D LS Premium is $2,025 for "Rough Trade-In", $2,700 for "Average Trade-In" and $3,250 for "Clean Trade-In".  We would place this vehicle in the “Rough” category but it is always recommended that you inspect the vehicle and make your own assessments before bidding.

These vehicles have an unknown prior history and are NOT inspected by us prior to auction.  You may inspect this vehicle, in person, by appointment and make your own assessments before bidding.
