Saturn SL 4-Door
1.9L I-4, SOHC
5-Speed Manual
Silver/Gray
250K

Runs great, back roads or interstate
Awesome on gas. 34MPG average - that's mostly on backroads with hills & curves and a lot of shifting. I have seen 38MPG on the interstate.
Drives straight, no vibrations, no turbulence
Steering, suspension feels like new
Motor runs strong
A/C blows cold
Garage-kept
Never wrecked
Paint is good for its age, minor scuffs throughout
Interior is good for its age, minor staining throughout, drivers seat has tear new outer corner, interior light works when it wants to, two dummy-lights pop up at random on instrument cluster
1st-gear is a little stubborn getting into gear, but always has been since I bought it back in 2007. Has to be completely stopped to engage, but it does work. I usually take of in 2nd anyway.
Slight oil leak somewhere around the oil pan. Will leave a tiny drop once every 4-5 days, never smell it burning off the block even.
Stereo is about shot, speakers half blown, buttons work when they want to work.

$1999 FIRM, you'll find a cheaper Saturn everywhere, but not with over $4000 work done on it in the past 3 years alone - almost everything that will wear out has already been replaced. That's the deal-sweetener.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
