2002 Saturn SC1 Coupe

3rd Owner (purchased in November 2012)

I bought this car as an extra vehicle when my drive to work was 80 miles round trip.
It has gotten me 44mpg. Mostly 38mpg was calculated.
My job situation has changed, so I don't need a 3rd vehicle anymore.

THE PROS:
Excellent gas mileage (38mpg average)
COLD A/C (when I bought it, he told me it was the selling point...he wasn't kidding)
Great heating (small cab to heat comfortably)
Rear Defrost
Intermittent Wipers
Excellent wheel alignment (perfect tracking on the road)
10,000 miles on tires (85% tread)
Excellent traction on snowy roads (low profile car...not so good above 8" drifts)
Cheap insurance (added $12/mo liability only)
New clear headlight lenses (original had haze and I didn't like it)
Plastic body (will not rust)
Engine runs solid (always starts nicely)
Transmission has been solid (a shifter cable broke last fall and both have been replaced)

Tight turning radius (fun to park in small spaces)

THE CONS:
High miles (few problems will come up...cheap to fix)
Flex pipe has hole (was quoted $90 to replace it, but I like the cheesy exhaust sound)
1.9L notorious for burning oil (I check oil once a month. Sometimes have to add a quart)
Traction control doesn't work (no desire to fix it...manual transmission anyway...start in 2nd gear in the snow and you're fine)
Service Engine light has been on since I bought it (Secondary O2 sensor...no desire to replace it...doesn't affect performance...useless emission add-on anyway)
100hp engine (holds 65mph like a champ, but takes 18 seconds to get there)

This car has been amazing and fun to drive. Hope it finds a good home. Sad to see it go, but I would love my half of the garage back.

Selling locally. I have the right to end auction early. (am I really one of those people now?)

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.
