This is a 1995 Saturn SL1. This was my first car and I bought it when I was 17 years old and I paid $2300 for it. It was originally a family car before I bought it and I' am the 2nd owner of the car. The car has just under 120,000 miles; not bad for a 18 year old car. I purchased it with 83,600 miles on it so I haven't put a ton of mileage since I have had it, I' am selling it because it is time for a newer car and this is a good starter car for someone that is just learning how to drive.

It is cheap to buy and has been reliable for me over the 7 years I have had it. But it does need some work so I' am looking for someone that would be willing to put the work into it to make it a great car again. There are 3 things that the cars needs work on. The exhaust system need repaired mainly the catalytic converter and a muffler. The brakes are a bit worn and should be replaced but still decent enough for driving. Lastly the engine misfires which could just be a spark plug and wires issue or it could be the cylinders. I've had work done on this before so its not unusual. The car does burn oil so I recommend a oil change every 2 months and plugs every 2 months too. It has a new alternator and the transmission is still solid. The engine is original and if you wanted to replace the engine it wouldn't actually cost that much. The tires are still good. It doesn't have AC because it is an older model and the heat works great. It has a new CD player and radio system. It is front wheel drive which is great for snow. I have kept the interior clean as I have kept it detailed over the years. A few minor stains but those were from the previous owner. 

 I' am looking for a buyer that is really willing to put the work/money into the car and who is mechanically inclined to do so. I have had several mechanics come by to look at it and they were planning to fix it themselves but if someone wants to spend the money and have someone else fix it that's fine too. This is going to be for local pick-up only. I will not be dealing with shipping the car so please don't ask. Potential buyers will have to provide there own way to transport the vehicle since it is not really drivable. I have had a few people that came to look at the car already have a plan to transport it back to there location whether it was by using a truck to haul it or using a flat bed or tow. These people were prepared even if they may not have decided to buy it. So my word of advise is to be prepared and have a plan or strategy even if you may not win/buy the car.  Please serious buyers only if you don't want to put the work into it don't bother it's a waste of time.

Paypal will be my payment method. PAYMENT WILL NEED TO BE MADE WITHIN 2 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSING. I' am being strict about this if the payment is not made I will cancel the transaction, report it and relist so keep that in mind. If you don't have the money to buy it don't bother I don't do half now half later. If you are in the area or live close enough by and would like to come and see the car for yourself I encourage you to do so. Please message me and I can set up a scheduled date and time for you to come by and check it out yourself. But please make sure you are on the same page as me when deciding to come check out the vehicle. I will be openly honest about everything because I want you to feel good knowing what you are buying and receiving. My dad was a mechanic so me and him have taken good care of the car over the years it is just time for something new. I' am flexible on the price so don't be afraid to contact me. My email address is JLewis1097@yahoo.com or you can just message me on ebay. I encourage everyone to ask as many questions as you can. the more information I can provide the more confident you can feel when trying to make a decision on to bid or not. HAPPY BIDDING!

Recalled Saturn Ion facing separate federal safety probe

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

General Motors may be staring down another recall campaign for one of its models already embroiled in its high-profile ignition recall. The 2003-2007 Saturn Ion is already among the 1.6-million vehicles being recalled for faulty ignition switches, and now new light is being shed on a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation over 2004-2007 models centering on a loss of power steering.
The government safety regulator has received 846 complaints about the problem and claims that GM has had 3,489 reports of failure. Of those cases, there have been 16 accidents and 2 injuries reported, according to Automotive News. While NHTSA has been conducting an investigation since September 2011, no recall has been issued yet.
The inquiry's length was brought to light by an organization called the National Legal and Policy Center that alleges GM and NHTSA have known about the problem but are delaying a recall. It has sent a letter to CEO Mary Barra asking "to recall Saturn Ions for the model years 2004 through 2007 without further delay." The letter in question is available in full on the group's website.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
