1997 Saturn Sl2 Base Sedan 4-door 1.9l/knocking Motor/nr on 2040-cars
Effingham, Illinois, United States
This Car has a good transaxle; great interior, seats, carpet, door panels and dash. The gauges all work. The windows are electric and both front windows work fine, but the back needs regulators. The tires are better than 1/2 tread and the wheels are in great shape and aluminum. The body is good with a couple of exceptions shown in the pics. The engine runs, doesn't use any oil and doesn't have any leaks. A/C blows very cold, heat works great. The radio works as it should. The power steering is perfect and the car drives and rides great. The car gets between 38 and 40 mpg. The exhaust is very quiet. All the glass is good with no chips or cracks. The sun roof has had the relay removed because it would always open but would give issues with closing sometimes. The headliner needs replaced. The lights all work fine too. Brakes are good, wipers and wiper motor is good. The cruise works properly. The car starts right up every time!
It has a knock. Could be a lifter but I think it's a rod. This car is being sold as is, where is. It is likely you can drive it home. We've been driving the car as it is for several months. |

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
First GM ignition switch trial dismissed
Fri, Jan 22 2016Robert Scheuer has agreed to dismiss his ignition switch claims against General Motors to bring a sudden stop to the first federal trial over the automaker's faulty parts. The lawsuit was the first of six cases that were a bellwether to set a precedent in the complaints. Scheuer didn't receive any financial settlement from GM, according to Reuters. Scheuer alleged that he was injured when his 2003 Saturn Ion went off the road and hit the tree. The airbag didn't deploy, which Scheuer claimed was the result of the faulty ignition switch. GM originally attempted to dismiss the trial over a lack of evidence, but US District Judge Jesse Furman set a January 11 start date for the case. During the trial, GM's attorneys accused Scheuer and his wife of lying and presented evidence of an allegedly altered check stub that they used to purchase a house. Scheuer's defense had claimed that the family was evicted from the home after memory loss from the accident caused Robert to lose the down payment check. After the allegations, Furman pushed for a settlement. He called the trial an "outlier" and "almost worthless as a bellwether case," according to Bloomberg. The next of the six trials begins in March, Reuters reports. Related Video:
