I was at my My brother in law's place over the holidays ... he lives in Conyers Ga now, he did live in Muscadine, Alabama .... and commuted to his job in Atlanta .... high miles. His 1996 Mercury Sable will trip 500,000 miles in the very very near future. Transmission was rebuilt once, it's had some ball joints, tie rod ends, brakes, and some vacume tubing replaced .... but it get's the job done.
