All of the spare parts are currently at my home in Greenacres, FL. The USPS decals are no longer on the vehicle. The photos I used are what I currently have access to on my laptop. The one current photo was taken in Chicago next to the Semi truck. The car has a Sears luggage carrier attached to the roof rack that can easily be removed."

I have a 2000 SW1/SWP Postal wagon that I purchased three years ago and have virtually rebuilt the entire car. I purchased the car with a bad engine and it needed to be rebuilt or replaced right away. Since I purchased the car in 2010 I spent an insane amount of money on repairs (over $15k) to make it usable at first and after I no longer needed it for my route, just to make it a nice drive able car for my family. 
  • The chassis has 193k on it and the engine has 70k on it (I can verify the mileage). The list is very long as to what has been done to this car over the past three years. I have receipts and documentation backing up everything I'm putting in this posting. I also have an attic full of spare parts, door panels, seats, fenders, alloy rims/tires, engine parts, electronic parts, alternator. I found another 2000 SW1 in a salvage yard recently and stripped it of all the parts only on a RHD Saturn, so I have many spare parts. Car comes with 2 keys and two fully functional key fobs. The rear floor of the car has been reinforced with a custom cut plywood insert to carry heavy mail trays and packages. The carpet covers it up so it does not look any different than a normal Saturn wagon.

The following list is not complete in every way but you get the idea:

1: SOHC motor installed Sept 2010, motor from LKQ with 20k on it, Carfax certified.

2:Transmission replaced at 99k, rebuilt again in 2012

3: New steering rack installed in 2010 by Saturn dealer

4: Catalytic converter replaced

5: All four fuel injectors replaced new by Saturn certified GM Dealership.

6: All struts replaced with Monroe Gasmatic struts

7: Entire A/C system replaced (new) Compressor, evaporator, valves.

8: Starter replaced (new/Reman)

9: Alternator replaced (new/Reman) have spare also (brand new)

10: EGR replaced (new)

11: Power Steering Pump replaced with proper RHD power steering pump (hard to find)

12: Motor mount, trans mount, and (2) banjo/dogbone mounts replaced (new)

13: Battery replaced in 2012 (new)

14: headlights replaced, bulbs new, fog lights (salvage yard find) (new bulbs)

15: Car has trailer hitch and wiring installed (towed small aluminum boat twice)

16: Both front drive axles, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, sway bar bushings have all been replaced.

17: New spark plugs (Aug 2013), recent new wires) and ignition coils.

Interior of car totally upgraded:

Brown leather seats, new headliner (not sagging), Sun Visors (great condition) (Have spares), replaced inside door panels (front and back), Replaced any damaged plastic trim inside vehicle with new and salvaged parts. Have factory Saturn floor mats. (and spares)
All windows/locks work perfectly, replaced left rear power window motor and drivers door lock switch. Center console switch replaced with brand new RHD switch (very hard to find)

18: Saturn factory roof rack (stripped and painted to match car)

19: AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo with JVC/Alpine speakers

19: Cobra 40 channel CB radio with dash mounted speaker and rear bumper/frame mounted cb antenna.

20: Extra 12 volt adapter installed for Amber light (to deliver mail)

21: Fully tinted glass all around.

22: New paint job in 2012 (five year warranty)

23: Cruise control (yes on a SW1 !!) works great !!!

24: Leather wrapped factory Saturn steering wheel.

25: 15 inch factory alloy rims and tires (have three spare rims w/tires at house in Florida) Two of the tires currently on the car will need to be replaced soon. They are not bald, but are down to about 10k miles left of them.

26: Front and REAR - DISC brakes with ceramic pads (front has drilled rotors) This is not a typo. The rear brakes have been professionally modified with Saturn disc brakes. The original drum brakes were replaced about a year ago. The doner vehicle was a 1993 Saturn SW2 (they came with four wheel disc brakes) The calipers were used as cores for re-manufactured calipers from Auto-zone. I also have many spare brake parts (you go through brakes fast delivering mail)

Bold

The car is currently in Rockford, IL (temporarily) but has never been in the snow, it has always been a Florida car and originally came from Saturn of Bradenton, FL near Tampa. I know the original owner.
The car runs fantastic and everything on the car works. If you are reading this you know how hard it is to find RHD cars and the Jeeps are in excess of $30k.  I'm an OTR truck driver now and am on the road all the time so have patience, I will get back to you.
I've been as accurate with my description as I can possibly be. If I have left anything out it was not intentional. Please send me a message and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. This vehicle is also being listed locally in Florida and I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time should the car become unavailable. This car can be driven anywhere in the country. I have driven it back and forth from Atlanta, Nashville and North Florida back down to South Florida many times. I recently drove it to the Chicago area without any problems.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
