1996 Saturn Sw2 For Parts Or Repair! on 2040-cars
Denver, Pennsylvania, United States
I purchased the car as an "extra" vehicle. I knew when I bought it there were issues. Thought that I had them all taken care of. At the end of May, I noticed when I pulled out from a traffic light, there was a small puff of smoke. When I took it to the mechanic, he said that there was a misfire in cylinder 3, and a loss of compression. He has informed me that this could be caused by several things, and he would not know for sure until after he starts to work on it. Problem for me, I do not want to invest any more money into it! So here is what I had done to it in the last 8 months; new clutch 4 new shocks, valve seals, alternator, 2 sets of tires (back are different than front). As you can see, there is common paint peel on the hood and driver's side door. The car DOES currently run (not as it should) however on occasion may stall when you come to a sudden stop. The headliner is garbage, the power windows work, however sometimes stick. Power locks work perfectly, cruise control works great. AC does not currently work, however the option is there. This car is far from perfect, however for a someone who has the ability, it has potential to be a great little car! Even not running right, it is averaging 32 MPG! Questions? Just ask! ** Please note, I reserve the right to end this listing early for any or no reason at all!** |

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 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.
Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production

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.
Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof
Fri, 06 Jan 2012Residents 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.
