 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's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1

Thu, Mar 6 2014

General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.
