2000 Saturn SL2, Green/Black, 161K miles, clear title. I bought this car 4 years ago with 71K miles and for the past 3.5 years or so it has been my primary commute car. Within the past year I have leased two brand new cars, so it is time to let this one go. I will try to describe to the best of my ability the condition of this car:
The body is clean and straight, with no major dents...however, there are quite a few scratches here and there, never really tried to buff them out. There is also some yellow paint streaks on the left front bumper from me brushing up against a freshly painted post at the car wash about a year ago. Most of it has faded with car washes, and the rest could most likely be buffed out if you desire. All the glass is free of cracks and rock chips.
The interior is in very good condition...the seats, door panels, and headliner are all intact with no rips or tears. There is quite a bit of dog hair that covers the back seat, as my Golden Retriever would ride back there on trips to the Vet and other places. I am in the process of trying to remove as much of it as I can via lint rollers and duct tape, just be aware that there may still be some back there that I am unable to get out.
Tires are in good shape, probably another 15K-20K on them left...brakes are good, fronts were replaced at around 120K, back brakes still have plenty of life on them.
As far as electronics go, other than the "auto-down" feature for the driver's side power window, everything works great...the power windows, the power door locks, the air conditioner, the cruise control, the rear window defogger, the windshield wipers, the power mirrors all work and have never given me any problems. Both high and low beams are functional, as are the brake lights, turn signals, reverse lights, and the back-window brake light.
The engine runs great and still gets 30-35 mpg, however like most Saturns, it burns oil...about a quart every 1500 miles. I would always check the oil level weekly and top off as needed. The transmission still shifts smooth and has never given me any trouble, and the fluid is still bright red and has no burned smell.
The car will need a few things...first, the muffler bracket has broken and needs to be replaced...the muffler rattles pretty good at idle, but once underway it does not. Second, there is a noise coming from the left front...I suspect that the wheel bearing will need to be replaced soon, but I am not a mechanic and you may find it could be something else. Lastly, at the last oil change, the service department was not able to remove the drain plug...it would just spin and not come out. It is not leaking, but I was told that the only solution is to replace the oil pan. I was quoted an outrageous price from the dealer for a replacement but the part is only $40-$50 online so I have no idea where the outrageous quote came from. As I said earlier, I am not a mechanic so I don't know how involved it is to replace an oil pan on this engine.
I am asking $1500, but feel free to make me an offer...just know that I'm not going to give the car away for nothing. I would like a $250 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours and the remainder in cash within 2 weeks. Will not ship, but am willing to pick you up at the airport in Grand Rapids if you desire to fly in.
Thanks for looking at my Saturn, please feel free to contact me with any questions as I'm sure I haven't covered everything.

GM nixes fleet-only Chevy Captiva Sport
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Well, guys, it looks like Saturn is finally dead in the United States once and for all. According to Automotive News, Chevrolet has discontinued production of its fleet-only Captiva Sport - a rebadged Saturn Vue - after three years on the market. The very last US-spec Captiva Sport was built in Mexico in August. GM will still produce the vehicle for sale in the Mexican market, as well as for export.
GM initially offered the Captiva Sport for rental fleets as a way to free up capacity for the sightly larger Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers, which, according to AN, had been in short supply. The Captiva Sport also did a nice job protecting the resale values of its other similar-sized CUVs because they didn't have to play in the fleet market. But with Chevrolet preparing to launch its subcompact Trax CUV in the US, the automaker will soon have a clear, three-tier crossover lineup without the Captiva Sport. The Trax fills out the bottom end, followed by the Equinox and the seven-passenger Traverse.
For now, renters seeking a taste of 'Classic GM' will have to whet their appetites with the fullsize Impala Limited.
Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Despite 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.
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
