All of the spare parts are currently at my home in Greenacres, FL. The USPS decals are no longer on the vehicle. The photos I used are what I currently have access to on my laptop. The one current photo was taken in Chicago next to the Semi truck. The car has a Sears luggage carrier attached to the roof rack that can easily be removed."

I have a 2000 SW1/SWP Postal wagon that I purchased three years ago and have virtually rebuilt the entire car. I purchased the car with a bad engine and it needed to be rebuilt or replaced right away. Since I purchased the car in 2010 I spent an insane amount of money on repairs (over $15k) to make it usable at first and after I no longer needed it for my route, just to make it a nice drive able car for my family. 
  • The chassis has 193k on it and the engine has 70k on it (I can verify the mileage). The list is very long as to what has been done to this car over the past three years. I have receipts and documentation backing up everything I'm putting in this posting. I also have an attic full of spare parts, door panels, seats, fenders, alloy rims/tires, engine parts, electronic parts, alternator. I found another 2000 SW1 in a salvage yard recently and stripped it of all the parts only on a RHD Saturn, so I have many spare parts. Car comes with 2 keys and two fully functional key fobs. The rear floor of the car has been reinforced with a custom cut plywood insert to carry heavy mail trays and packages. The carpet covers it up so it does not look any different than a normal Saturn wagon.

The following list is not complete in every way but you get the idea:

1: SOHC motor installed Sept 2010, motor from LKQ with 20k on it, Carfax certified.

2:Transmission replaced at 99k, rebuilt again in 2012

3: New steering rack installed in 2010 by Saturn dealer

4: Catalytic converter replaced

5: All four fuel injectors replaced new by Saturn certified GM Dealership.

6: All struts replaced with Monroe Gasmatic struts

7: Entire A/C system replaced (new) Compressor, evaporator, valves.

8: Starter replaced (new/Reman)

9: Alternator replaced (new/Reman) have spare also (brand new)

10: EGR replaced (new)

11: Power Steering Pump replaced with proper RHD power steering pump (hard to find)

12: Motor mount, trans mount, and (2) banjo/dogbone mounts replaced (new)

13: Battery replaced in 2012 (new)

14: headlights replaced, bulbs new, fog lights (salvage yard find) (new bulbs)

15: Car has trailer hitch and wiring installed (towed small aluminum boat twice)

16: Both front drive axles, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, sway bar bushings have all been replaced.

17: New spark plugs (Aug 2013), recent new wires) and ignition coils.

Interior of car totally upgraded:

Brown leather seats, new headliner (not sagging), Sun Visors (great condition) (Have spares), replaced inside door panels (front and back), Replaced any damaged plastic trim inside vehicle with new and salvaged parts. Have factory Saturn floor mats. (and spares)
All windows/locks work perfectly, replaced left rear power window motor and drivers door lock switch. Center console switch replaced with brand new RHD switch (very hard to find)

18: Saturn factory roof rack (stripped and painted to match car)

19: AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo with JVC/Alpine speakers

19: Cobra 40 channel CB radio with dash mounted speaker and rear bumper/frame mounted cb antenna.

20: Extra 12 volt adapter installed for Amber light (to deliver mail)

21: Fully tinted glass all around.

22: New paint job in 2012 (five year warranty)

23: Cruise control (yes on a SW1 !!) works great !!!

24: Leather wrapped factory Saturn steering wheel.

25: 15 inch factory alloy rims and tires (have three spare rims w/tires at house in Florida) Two of the tires currently on the car will need to be replaced soon. They are not bald, but are down to about 10k miles left of them.

26: Front and REAR - DISC brakes with ceramic pads (front has drilled rotors) This is not a typo. The rear brakes have been professionally modified with Saturn disc brakes. The original drum brakes were replaced about a year ago. The doner vehicle was a 1993 Saturn SW2 (they came with four wheel disc brakes) The calipers were used as cores for re-manufactured calipers from Auto-zone. I also have many spare brake parts (you go through brakes fast delivering mail)

Bold

The car is currently in Rockford, IL (temporarily) but has never been in the snow, it has always been a Florida car and originally came from Saturn of Bradenton, FL near Tampa. I know the original owner.
The car runs fantastic and everything on the car works. If you are reading this you know how hard it is to find RHD cars and the Jeeps are in excess of $30k.  I'm an OTR truck driver now and am on the road all the time so have patience, I will get back to you.
I've been as accurate with my description as I can possibly be. If I have left anything out it was not intentional. Please send me a message and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. This vehicle is also being listed locally in Florida and I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time should the car become unavailable. This car can be driven anywhere in the country. I have driven it back and forth from Atlanta, Nashville and North Florida back down to South Florida many times. I recently drove it to the Chicago area without any problems.

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.

One look at the specific specimen Holt is selling will be enough to convince you that the car "will absolutely tickle every one of your fancies," as claimed by the seller himself.
We suggest you watch the video below to see just how perfectly Holt's sex machine will fit into your life. The end result will no doubt be exactly as Holt ends his video: "You need it. Like a lot." You can also read more info from Brad in an interview here. If only our offices were a little closer to Dallas...
