Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

If you're looking for a very basic, fuel efficient car... this car is a good choice.

It's a small 4 cylinder engine so it's easy on gas, it's got a 5 speed manual transmission and has manual steering (not power steering). This makes it more difficult to turn the wheel when parked and driving at very low speeds, but also increases fuel efficiency about 3 miles per gallon because it uses less power.

Handy Man Special - Good Price

She's a solid car with low miles for the age, but definitely needs some TLC from the hands of a highly-skilled Technician or handy man.

I work at a repair shop and put a good bit of work into her... but I just don't have the time to work on it myself.

I replaced both front drive axles... the battery is less than 3 months old... all new front brakes: Pads, Rotors and both brake calipers... high-performance spark plugs and lifetime racing plug wires...

What it needs...

Maryland is one of the toughest inspection places so it will need a few things to pass inspection. Mainly a new muffler, the old one has a rust hole eaten into it. May also need new brake shoes and drums in the rear, did not get to take them apart but parts are extremely cheap for that.

It also needs the ceiling to be re-upholstered as the headliner tore. The parts can be bought for about $60 to do it yourself, or pay $200-$300 for a professional upholstery shop to do it (in MD)

The alignment is off pretty bad because it needs new tie rod ends and an alignment. One tie rod end comes with the car, I never had time to install it. Also will need lower control arms - At least 1 on the driver side because the ball joint boot is busted and that will fail MD state inspection unfortunately. Part is cheap though, $60 online.

If you live outside of MD, you may not have to worry about it because your state laws are probably not as strict as MD. The control arms do not affect drive-ability at all.

It also burns oil. It needs new valve guides and valve oil seals. The parts are extremely cheap, but the job has to be done by someone who knows cars pretty well. Otherwise, it may be less hassle to simply buy a re-manufactured cylinder head and install it. Alot of labor involved, but will last another 100k or so. Could be attained pretty cheaply from a junk yard as well.

It also has one of the reflector pieces on the driver side rear off. Maybe $12 part, I just haven't really looked for one.

The body paint is peeling on the front of the hood, and on the roof as well. Not unusual for a 95.

Otherwise, the car does start and runs fine. I put about 1,000 miles on it in the last 3 months driving about 40 miles a day and she never left me stranded.

If you want a fixer-upper to fix up little by little just to get around, or looking for a project car... this is great. A lot can be done to these little Saturns to make them more performance-based. I just didn't have the time to do it.

Thanks!

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

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.

Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.
