I'm the original owner of this well maintained, 1999 Saturn Homecoming Edition SL2.  Clear Title in hand!

In 1999, the Homecoming Edition was produced in a special "Mint Color" with tan leather interior, special off-white gauge faceplates, and black Saturn badges to commemorate the second "Homecoming" visit to the Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing facility.

There were only 4,000 of the 1999 Homecoming Edition produced.

This vehicle was rated 24  MPG City - 34 MPG Highway and it still gets a consistent 30 MPG on average.  It has an automatic transmission and a DOHC 1.9L engine.

It still runs great with over 242K miles, but I've bought a new car, and the time has come to let it go.  This is a safe, reliable, and quiet car that still has lots of life left.  This would be a great "new driver" or students car, and it's even up for a long distance trip.

Check out the pictures, and you'll see that I recently had the headliner professionally replaced and the sun visors reupholstered.  A tune up was done this summer, with new spark plugs and wires, and an ERG Valve.  Overall the car is clean looking, but the clearcoat is peeling in a number of spots, mostly on the spoiler.  There a several flaws in the paint and a couple of small rust spots on the hood due to its age.  See the pictures for yourself.

The stock radio has been replaced with a Pioneer Radio/CD player, and it works fine.  Brand new Silver Star Ultra headlights just installed this week!

I'm also throwing in 2 spare matching FireStone/Primewell tires.  Like all older Saturns it uses an extra quart of oil between changes at about 1500 miles.  The battery, brakes, and muffler have all been replaced in the last three years.

If you have any questions just ask.  Local pickup in Springfield, IL.  Airport pickup available.

VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*

Fri, 02 Oct 2009


Click above to view the video after the jump
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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
