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. |

Report: Saturn owners offered $2,000 to stick with GM products
Mon, 15 Feb 2010After its decision to euthanize Oldsmobile, General Motors knows exactly what happens when it mothballs one of its brands: GM loses market share to the competition. The General is trying to stop history from repeating itself with Saturn customers by offering $2,000 on the hood of every car and crossover donning the ringed planet badge. Automotive News says the offer actually started on February 2 and runs until the end of March. To be eligible for the $2,000 bounty Saturn owners must have leased or purchased their Saturn at least six months ago. Interestingly, those owners don't even have to turn in their Saturn to be eligible for the cash.
AN reports that research company R.L. Polk says even before Saturn went on the endangered species list, it lagged other GM nameplates in the all-important aspect of customer retention. The mass exodus from Saturn loyalty predictably intensified at the end of 2008 as customers became anxious over the future of the brand. For its part, GM insists that all Saturn warranties will be upheld and customers looking for service can still go to a GMC, Chevy, Buick or Cadillac dealership.

VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*
Fri, 02 Oct 2009

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.
Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500
Mon, Feb 18 2019In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...
