Ultimate winter beater... 96 Saturn SL1
Sold for $700
Sorry my old thread got locked. The buyer didn't come through as he did so its back up forsale.
Saturn
body: sedan 4 door
engine: single cam fuel injected
transmission: automatic with sports mode
color: tan
options: A/C, heat, power steering, am/fm cassette
MPG: 30-39 between city and hiway
Miliage: 244,403
The saturn was used as my winter vehicle. The car ended up being so reliable that I drove it year round and only drove my other vehicle during the weekends. I drove the car everyday to and from work. Starts up all the time, even on the coldest MN winters. Always warmed up the car 10 mins before I drove during the cold mornings. Brand new windshield installed this summer. Semi truck shot a rock at my windshield and left a chip. Insurance replaced per my coverage. All windows rolls up and down just fine.
The good:
a/c blows cold
heat blows hot
transmission shifts smooth
lots of life on tires
car runs smooth
Bad:
burns half a quart of oil between oil changes. Approximately 3500 miles.
rust on back of rear inner door rocker pannels on both doors.
rust on corner of driver side hood
dent on driver side rear trunk lid
