This is a 1999 Saturn SL2 with 1.9 four cyl and automatic transmission. Car exterior is in good shape with no major damage or dents. Paint has chips especially in e front bumper but none are large. Interior is leather with all seats showing wear and the fronts seats with tears in them. Headliner is gone. Car runs and drives good most of the time. Sometimes it is hard to start and sluggish when you try to accelerate quickly. The service engine light is on but not sure why. Car has new water pump, radiator, and one engine mount. Still needs some mechanical work but will make a good driver. Was a daily driver until the end of November when the registration expired. Inspection just expired the end of January. Car has over a half of tank of gas in it as well, and has been driven a couple of blocks every few days just to move it around. I have tried to list everything but I am sure I have forgotten some things so please ask questions if you have them. Feel free to set up a time to come look at the car and test drive it. I will help all I can with transporting the car to the buyer, but the buyer must arrange and pay for all transport from my address in Watauga TX at 76148 zip code. Buyer to pay a $350.00 deposit that is non-refundable within 24 hours of auction end. Car to be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. If auction is paid in full and car can not be picked up within those 7 days we can arrange for more time for pickup. This must be done through eBay email to protect both parties. VEHICLE DOES GET DRIVEN SOME SO MILEAGE WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT WILL DIFFER BY NO MORE THEN 500 MILES.

Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500

Mon, Feb 18 2019

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...

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.
