I am selling my red 1996 Saturn SW2 Wagon with 119,000 miles starting at a very low no reserve price (clean NJ title in hand). NJ inspection sticker through 2014. No dents. Paint is pretty good for its age. I spent $450 alone within the last 3 months. It has been my daily driver, until developing an engine knock 2 weeks ago when it was really cold. The day after I spent $150 for a new front tire and an oil change at Firestone in Berkeley Heights. Everything works except for right rear passenger window doesn't go down. Heater blows hot and A/C blows cold. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Car tracks straight and doesn't pull when braking. No shakes or vibrations at any speed. Car never flooded or damaged.
While the engine starts up instantly even in extreme cold weather every time, there is now a constant knocking. Buyer should tow the car. One mechanic thought it is an upper engine tensioner issue while another said it is the bottom end and will need a rebuild or engine swap. It has a 1.9L DOHC 4-cylinder with automatic. Shifts smooth in all gears. Never been in an accident, drives straight, gets 24 mpg. Front wheel drive, power windows and locks. Keyless remote included. Cloth interior (no tears). Non-smoker car. Recently replaced the wiper motor (cost $300) in November. I have receipts for both recent service items. I am the second owner, was owned by a women on Long Island NY who purchased it new from Hempstead Saturn dealership.
The Kelly Blue Book Value on the car without the engine issue is over $2,000 (KBB.com). Estimated repair is $500 on the low side and $1,000 on the high side. Still below the cars value. I would have fixed the car and kept it, but have a 7 month old and pre-2000 cars don't have baby seat anchors (the LATCH type in the seat) so I want to get a newer used car. Car will need to be towed even though it runs as to avoid damaging the engine anymore. Available for inspection and viewing. Car is also listed locally and I reserve the right to terminate this auction early.
I require a $100.00 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of winning bid. The balance in cash in exchange for when you pick up the car and I sign over the clear NJ title that I have in hand. Last bid wins.

Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production
Tue, 16 Mar 2010Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*

When the deal to sell Saturn to Penske Automotive fell through, there were likely a lot of surprised people at General Motors' Detroit, MI headquarters. Penske released a statement saying that the reason the deal fell through after months of good faith negotiations was that a suitable post-GM supply of vehicles could not be found. However, after reacquainting ourselves with over eight minutes of outtakes from Jim Gaffigan's old Saturn commercial, we're thinking the comedic pitchman is to blame.
GM appears to repurpose Saturn Outlook parts on new Acadia
Thu, 09 Feb 2012General Motors unveiled the company's refreshed GMC Acadia at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show yesterday, and if you were paying attention, you may have noticed something curious about the vehicle. While the new Acadia looks considerably better than its predecessor, a few components of the design looked more than a little familiar. Upon closer observation, it appears that GM has simply repurposed elements of the now defunct Saturn Outlook crossover on the 2013 Acadia. Both vehicles seem to share the same wrap-around rear glass, back hatch, tail light openings and exaggerated, squared-off fender arches.
While the vehicles are differentiated by badging, tail lamps and a rear valance, there's no denying the similarities toward the vehicle's rear. Up front, both share similar fenders, though adjustments have been made for the varying headlight designs.
That's good news if you just can't imagine life without the Saturn Outlook.
