This vehicle has been well maintained by ASE master technician and has a recent Pennsylvania safety and emissions inspection (April 2014 expiration). Despite the miles, the 1.9L DOHC engine starts and runs almost like new. Transmission shifts great and clutch works well. Surprisingly very quick little car that still gets 30+ miles per gallon. Mileage is about 85% high way miles. This car has given me literally no problems other than needing a new starter recently. This vehicle is being sold only because I am looking for a 1997+ Jeep Wrangler. 


There are only two cosmetic issues that need to be pointed out. I accidentally pulled the car up too far at home and dinged the front edge of the hood. This can be repaired if desired and can look as good as the rest of the vehicle. The other minor issue is some rust has formed on the interior of the rear passenger door. It is surface rust/scale that can easily be removed and painted. This is NOT a structural integrity problem- only cosmetic. A close up of both issues are captured in photos. This vehicle has the usual minor chips and scrapes that can be expected from a vehicle of this age. 

Interior is in very good condition. The driver's side floor mat and rim of the steering wheel have some wear from lots of highway commuting. Rear seats fold down for additional hauling capacity (enough space to haul several 8' 2X4's).



Non-refundable $500 down payment required from winning bidder within 1 day of bid closure. Please email me with questions or to set up a test drive, if desired, prior to bidding. Ask all questions before bidding.


This vehicle will be listed locally and seller reserves the right to end this listing early if reserve is not met.

Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

Residents of a Fresno, California apartment building recently awoke to debris falling from their ceiling after a car thief managed to execute a perfect parking job on the structure's roof. Police say 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker stole the Saturn sedan from a nearby house before striking either a curb or some rocks, vaulting the vehicle into the air and onto the roof. After seeing his predicament, Tucker leapt from the roof and fled the scene. Or at least he tried to. Tucker broke his leg in the fall and only made it around a quarter of a mile from the crash when police picked him up.
No one else was harmed in the stunt.
Tucker had two outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time for a hit-and-run and evading police. A special crane had to be called in to remove the Saturn from the apartment roof and the structure will indeed require repairs. Hit the jump for a news report on the incident.

Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
