I have been looking for a Saturn for many years, mainly because of the reported high MPG and the ability to tow it with all 4 wheels down.
I found a 1995 SL2 with just under 125,000 miles on it for only $325. That's not a typo! The seller thought it had a cracked block, but I was able to get it running, it just wouldn't idle. It took a bit of coaxing to get it on the trailer, but it made it the 40 miles home and to my surprise, it started right up and idled just fine. I'm not sure what was wrong originally, but it continues to run just fine and I even recharged the A/C myself with a $20 can of 134A.
I still need to replace the headliner and the speakers sound blown, but I have a spare stereo and speakers I can use.
The car is gold with a spoiler and has leather and automatic. Where were these cheap cars when I was young and poor? :-)
