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!

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.

Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Despite the tens of millions of recalled vehicles this year, it's somewhat rare that we get a glimpse into what goes into deciding when to conduct one of these safety campaigns. New documents published by General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are giving us an interesting opportunity to see how the sausage is made and show the number of meetings it takes to declare a recall.
In early August, GM added about another 269,000 vehicles to its 2014 recall tally in the US when it announced a slew of new safety campaigns. Among them was a fix for the 2002-2004 Saturn Vue that covered 202,155 of them in the US. The problem was that the key could be removed from the ignition even when it wasn't in the "OFF" position, and that had caused two crashes and one injury, according to the automaker.
Where we start to see behind the veil is in the defect notice freshly released by NHTSA. It shows that GM began investigating more widely for ignition switches in April, shortly after the company expanded its ignition switch recall to a variety of Saturn products, among others, according to Automotive News. The automaker found 152 reports in the 2002-2004 Vue of vehicles rolling away or the key being removed out of a total population of 215,243 units worldwide.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
