 2000 Saturn SL2, Green/Black, 161K miles, clear title. I bought this car 4 years ago with 71K miles and for the past 3.5 years or so it has been my primary commute car. Within the past year I have leased two brand new cars, so it is time to let this one go. I will try to describe to the best of my ability the condition of this car:

The body is clean and straight, with no major dents...however, there are quite a few scratches here and there, never really tried to buff them out. There is also some yellow paint streaks on the left front bumper from me brushing up against a freshly painted post at the car wash about a year ago. Most of it has faded with car washes, and the rest could most likely be buffed out if you desire. All the glass is free of cracks and rock chips.

The interior is in very good condition...the seats, door panels, and headliner are all intact with no rips or tears. There is quite a bit of dog hair that covers the back seat, as my Golden Retriever would ride back there on trips to the Vet and other places. I am in the process of trying to remove as much of it as I can via lint rollers and duct tape, just be aware that there may still be some back there that I am unable to get out.

Tires are in good shape, probably another 15K-20K on them left...brakes are good, fronts were replaced at around 120K, back brakes still have plenty of life on them.

As far as electronics go, other than the "auto-down" feature for the driver's side power window, everything works great...the power windows, the power door locks, the air conditioner, the cruise control, the rear window defogger, the windshield wipers, the power mirrors all work and have never given me any problems. Both high and low beams are functional, as are the brake lights, turn signals, reverse lights, and the back-window brake light.

The engine runs great and still gets 30-35 mpg, however like most Saturns, it burns oil...about a quart every 1500 miles. I would always check the oil level weekly and top off as needed. The transmission still shifts smooth and has never given me any trouble, and the fluid is still bright red and has no burned smell.

The car will need a few things...first, the muffler bracket has broken and needs to be replaced...the muffler rattles pretty good at idle, but once underway it does not. Second, there is a noise coming from the left front...I suspect that the wheel bearing will need to be replaced soon, but I am not a mechanic and you may find it could be something else. Lastly, at the last oil change, the service department was not able to remove the drain plug...it would just spin and not come out. It is not leaking, but I was told that the only solution is to replace the oil pan. I was quoted an outrageous price from the dealer for a replacement but the part is only $40-$50 online so I have no idea where the outrageous quote came from. As I said earlier, I am not a mechanic so I don't know how involved it is to replace an oil pan on this engine.

I am asking $1500, but feel free to make me an offer...just know that I'm not going to give the car away for nothing. I would like a $250 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours and the remainder in cash within 2 weeks. Will not ship, but am willing to pick you up at the airport in Grand Rapids if you desire to fly in.

Thanks for looking at my Saturn, please feel free to contact me with any questions as I'm sure I haven't covered everything.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

GM ignition switch trial cleared to begin on January 11

Sat, Jan 2 2016

US District Judge Jesse Furman didn't accept General Motor's attempt to dismiss a civil trial over the automaker's faulty ignition switches, and set a January 11 start date for the case to begin, according to Reuters. The judge found that plaintiff Robert Scheuer had the evidence to proceed with the case. Scheuer was injured in an accident in his 2003 Saturn Ion in 2014 when another vehicle forced him off the road, and he crashed into some trees. The airbag didn't deploy, and Scheuer alleged this was the result of the faulty ignition switch. According to Reuters, Scheuer's trial is one of six bellwether cases over GM's ignition switch problem in the coming year. Juries' decisions in these lawsuits should provide an example of how similar trials could end, and these results would help The General decide whether to settle other pending cases or to keep fighting them. The ignition switch fiasco has already cost GM billions. For example, the company's compensation program offered $594.5 million in 399 cases of people killed or injured by the defective parts. Anyone that accepted this money agreed not to sue GM for the problem later. The company also came to a $900 million criminal settlement with the US government and paid $575 million in civil resolutions in September.
