This is a 1995 Saturn SL1. This was my first car and I bought it when I was 17 years old and I paid $2300 for it. It was originally a family car before I bought it and I' am the 2nd owner of the car. The car has just under 120,000 miles; not bad for a 18 year old car. I purchased it with 83,600 miles on it so I haven't put a ton of mileage since I have had it, I' am selling it because it is time for a newer car and this is a good starter car for someone that is just learning how to drive.

It is cheap to buy and has been reliable for me over the 7 years I have had it. But it does need some work so I' am looking for someone that would be willing to put the work into it to make it a great car again. There are 3 things that the cars needs work on. The exhaust system need repaired mainly the catalytic converter and a muffler. The brakes are a bit worn and should be replaced but still decent enough for driving. Lastly the engine misfires which could just be a spark plug and wires issue or it could be the cylinders. I've had work done on this before so its not unusual. The car does burn oil so I recommend a oil change every 2 months and plugs every 2 months too. It has a new alternator and the transmission is still solid. The engine is original and if you wanted to replace the engine it wouldn't actually cost that much. The tires are still good. It doesn't have AC because it is an older model and the heat works great. It has a new CD player and radio system. It is front wheel drive which is great for snow. I have kept the interior clean as I have kept it detailed over the years. A few minor stains but those were from the previous owner. 

 I' am looking for a buyer that is really willing to put the work/money into the car and who is mechanically inclined to do so. I have had several mechanics come by to look at it and they were planning to fix it themselves but if someone wants to spend the money and have someone else fix it that's fine too. This is going to be for local pick-up only. I will not be dealing with shipping the car so please don't ask. Potential buyers will have to provide there own way to transport the vehicle since it is not really drivable. I have had a few people that came to look at the car already have a plan to transport it back to there location whether it was by using a truck to haul it or using a flat bed or tow. These people were prepared even if they may not have decided to buy it. So my word of advise is to be prepared and have a plan or strategy even if you may not win/buy the car.  Please serious buyers only if you don't want to put the work into it don't bother it's a waste of time.

Paypal will be my payment method. PAYMENT WILL NEED TO BE MADE WITHIN 2 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSING. I' am being strict about this if the payment is not made I will cancel the transaction, report it and relist so keep that in mind. If you don't have the money to buy it don't bother I don't do half now half later. If you are in the area or live close enough by and would like to come and see the car for yourself I encourage you to do so. Please message me and I can set up a scheduled date and time for you to come by and check it out yourself. But please make sure you are on the same page as me when deciding to come check out the vehicle. I will be openly honest about everything because I want you to feel good knowing what you are buying and receiving. My dad was a mechanic so me and him have taken good care of the car over the years it is just time for something new. I' am flexible on the price so don't be afraid to contact me. My email address is JLewis1097@yahoo.com or you can just message me on ebay. I encourage everyone to ask as many questions as you can. the more information I can provide the more confident you can feel when trying to make a decision on to bid or not. HAPPY BIDDING!

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 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.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:

A chopped-up General Motors EV1 shell sold for $23,662

Tue, Apr 7 2020

Despite not having a VIN, a powertrain, a frame, or any doors, a decrepit General Motors EV1 shell recently sold for $23,662.10 on govdeals.com. Sold by the University of Cincinnati, the car — or what remains of it — is headed to an electric vehicle collection called The Beata Electric Motor Carriage Collection. Technically, the GM EV1 was the first mass-produced and purposed-built electric car in America. When it was released in 1996 for the 1997 model year, however, GM strictly leased the car as part of a "real-world engineering evaluation." The limited production run was meant to test real life with an EV and judge the interest from the public. GM only built 1,117 units, all of which were recalled, and most of them ultimately were sent to the crusher. But a select few were stripped of their powertrains and donated to universities and museums for educational purposes. One of those non-functioning cars made it to the University of Cincinnati in 2008. The post says it "has been in storage since," but it's not clear if the car sat in storage untouched or was stored and used by the university. According to EpiclyEpicEthan1, who posted the sales listing to r/cars, the car was purchased by The Beata Electric Motor Carriage Collection in Colorado. The Beata (derived from the Latin word for blessed) collection is a gathering of '90s OEM electric vehicles and a general EV hub. The website says the vehicles are used for testing, diagnostics, education, events, and overall preservation and documentation. The rare and niche collection also includes a 1993 Dodge/Chrysler TEVan, a 1997 Honda EV Plus, a 1999 Dodge/Chrysler EPIC EV, a 1998 Ford Ranger EV, a 2002 Toyota RAV4 EV LongRanger III, a Tesla Roadster, a 1998 Nissan Altra EV, a 1998 Chevrolet S-10 EV, a 2011 Nissan Leaf, and a 2012 Tesla Model S. Beata also has several other projects under construction such as the 2000 Toyota RXT-G Prototype, a 1997 RAV4 coupe EV prototype, the 1995 AC Propulsion eCivic EV, a 1995 ACP RXT-G Prototype LongRanger II, a 1995 ACP RXT-G Prototype LongRanger I, and a GM EV1. Beata acts as a resource for EV1 owners and helps place parts it finds and doesn't need. The parts it does need are put into building a working EV1. Beata's current EV1, which is 80 percent complete, is made up from more than 50 different parts sources, including from all three versions of the EV1, the 1994 LPF4 PreView "Impact" series, the 1997 EV1, and the 1999 EV1.
