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!

Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
